Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
In a large mixing bowl sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add butter and, using your hands, thoroughly mix the butter with the flour incorporating it to a coarse meal.
Make a Well in the center of the flour mixture and add the eggnog, egg and the vanilla extract. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry. The dough at this point should be quite sticky.
Divide the dough into two pieces. Add second piece into a separate bowl.
Add chocolate chips and macadamia nuts into the dough in the first bowl. Lightly press chocolate chips and nuts into the dough. On lightly floured surface pat dough into circle, about 6” in diameter and 3/4” thick. Cut circle into 6 wedges and place wedges on parchment lined baking sheet.
Repeat process with the addition of the cranberries, walnuts and oranges in the second bowl. Again pressing fruit, nuts and orange into dough, patting into a circle, cutting into wedges and placing the wedges on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Lightly beat egg and milk and brush the scones with the mixture.
Bake 16-18 minutes until the scones are golden brown.
Mix powdered sugar and eggnog to consistency that is loose enough to drizzle. When scones are completely cooled, drizzle the icing over the scones and allow to dry.
