  2. Add granulated sugar, sour cream, eggs, eggnog, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the cream cheese. Mix everything together until fully combined.
  3. Pour the creamy filling over your prepared crust, and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes.
Cooling
  1. After baking, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
  2. Transfer the cheesecake to the fridge and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
