I'm such a badass nihilist that I have the barista put my egg nog latte in my black travel mug. The eggnog symbolizes the rich and yet fleeting lives we live, but the black mug symbolizes the fact that those lives are contained within the darkness of our own ignorance. So we fill our lives with tradition and ill-founded belief, and that in turn gives our lives an artificial warmth. And upon death, we simply slip from that warmth and are nothing, digested by the cosmos. The nutmeg doesn't symbolize anything, it's just delicious.
