Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In the bowl of a food processor, crush cookies until finely crumbled. Add sugar and melted butter; pulse until mixed.
Press crushed cookie crust mixture on the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. Bake 8 minutes. Allow crust to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a small container; put in the refrigerator while preparing filling.
In the same large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar; beat until smooth. Add egg nog, yogurt and spices; blend until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream; mix until blended.
Pour filling into the cooled pie crust and spread until smooth. Sprinkle nutmeg on top, cover pie and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
