"Stuff your face" means to eat a lot. It's used as an adjective here, but this isn't standard practice. Eggnog is a drink made with egg, often around Christmas.

To "stuff your face" suggests that one is not merely eating a large quantity of food, but that one is eating it greedily, or gluttonously, and somewhat indiscriminately.

If used as an adjective, "stuff your face" should be hyphenated, I think.

Therefore:

Christmas Eve. A real stuff-your-face holiday.
