Even though the Nog-Off has passed, Holidaze is continuing to spread the festive spirit with holiday celebrations planned for the rest of December.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Holidaze is continuing to spread holiday cheer with festive celebrations at the Walton Arts Center benefiting northwest Arkansas nonprofits and community organizations.

The 2021 Nog Off Champion Jeff Tonti, a bartender at Cheers, won the competition with the “Let’s Call Those Nogs” creation. A total of 167 flights of nog were sold, and $1,219.91 in proceeds were raised for the Fayetteville Independent Restaurant Alliance.
