Megyn Kelly’s latest clip — filmed on the set of The Megyn Kelly Show with her husband Doug Brunt — captured a moment Americans actually remember from a healthier, happier era: grown-ups enjoying a classic, boozy holiday treat and laughing about it on camera. The segment shows Kelly and Brunt sampling Martha Stewart’s famously potent eggnog while reacting to the recipe’s unapologetic pour, a scene that felt refreshingly normal in an age of sanctimonious censorship.
The recipe that started this merry conversation is no timid novelty; Martha Stewart’s classic eggnog is deliberately indulgent, combining eggs, cream, and a trio of spirits — bourbon, dark rum, and cognac — to deliver a holiday drink that’s meant to be sipped and savored, not moralized over. Martha herself has long made clear the drink is “pretty strong,” and her instructions even remind sensible folks to serve it in small portions because it’s the real deal.
Watching Megyn and Doug poke fun at themselves while enjoying the seasonal recipe was a dose of common-sense Americana: they joked about it being “early in the day” and how these things can sneak up on you, and even laughed about the practical side-effects of indulging during a lunchtime taping. That kind of candor about ordinary pleasures is something the modern media often pretends is verboten, yet millions of viewers clearly appreciate the honesty — it’s why moments like this go viral.
There’s something satisfying, too, about seeing Martha Stewart — who built a franchise on craftsmanship, taste, and good old-fashioned standards — remind people that expertise and tradition still matter. Megyn’s pointed amusement at Martha’s blunt style is exactly the conservative wink we like: respect the tradition, enjoy the craft, and don’t bow to performative sanctimony from celebrity copycats who try to sell authenticity they don’t practice.
For those worried about safety or propriety, Martha’s recipe and the coverage around it are clear and responsible: she outlines the ingredients and notes that the eggnog uses uncooked eggs, a detail that should guide who drinks it and how much. The sensible conservative position is simple — enjoy your culture and your holidays responsibly, use common-sense precautions for those at risk, and quit letting virtue-signalers dictate every shared moment of American life.
In the end, the clip of Megyn and Doug toasting Martha’s unapologetic eggnog is more than a silly viral moment; it’s a reminder that America’s traditions are worth celebrating, not canceling. If a beloved icon like Martha can pour generously and still teach restraint through a wink and a warning, the rest of us can learn to enjoy our holidays without the perpetual lecture from the elites.
