In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the white chocolate chips and butter together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each. Once smooth and fully melted, set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and rum or bourbon if using. Mix until fully combined. Slowly stir in the slightly cooled white chocolate mixture. Gradually add the crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers, mixing until a soft, scoopable dough forms.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or place in the freezer for 30 minutes, until the mixture is firm enough to scoop and roll.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out even amounts of dough and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls. Arrange the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes.
Melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, gently tapping off any excess. Place each coated truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once the chocolate coating is mostly set, drizzle melted white chocolate over each truffle. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg, crushed cookie crumbs, or edible gold dust. Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
