Candy Cane Muddy Bites


[New for 2024] The Mrs and I had stopped at Bolton Orchards to try some fresh cider donuts when I spied a brandy new flavor of Muddy Bites as we headed to the checkout lane.

DQ Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard


[New for Dec 2019] The Peppermint Hot Cocoa is back, and that's a good thing, because apparently I forgot to review it in 2019 or 2020. It seems like it's right up my alley, so let's take a spoonful of...

Dolcezza King Leo Peppermint Gelato
Dolcezza Coffee & Christmas Cookies Gelato


This was going to be my Christmas day post, but, well, it didn't quite pan out that way. Our whole Christmas schedule got thrown out of whack and I wound up trying this on Christmas but never actually posting about it (though I could have sworn I took notes....). Anyway, let's dive in to the holiday pack that Dolcezza Gelato was nice enough to send over. You've seen Hot Cocoa and Sugar Cookie Dough, so let's dive in to....

News: Holiday Flavors 2023


[New for 2023] This is probably the most fun photo that I've taken in awhile. I wasn't expecting whole foods to just group all 3 of these brands on the same shelf. Was someone planning ahead for the social media crowd? If so, bravo!

Tillamook Peppermint Bark Ice Cream


[New for Fall 2023] Good news, I finally found the other new Tillamook holiday flavor! It seemed like every place kept getting the sugar cookie flavor but never this one, but no more!

Minty Meltdown!


[Some are new for 2022] To make up for the fact that I've gone to one post a week, I'd like to do some catchup with a many pint post. Sound good? I don't cover mint much which is a shame because I really like mint ice cream these days (even if it doesn't always like me). Today's lineup will include the brandy new peppermint patty from Van Leeuwan and the new-ish Mint Chocolate Chance from Ben & Jerry's.

Mad Minis Peppermint & Pumpkin Spice


[New for 2021] I haven't really mentioned mad minis in awhile because, well, not a lot has changed in the last few years. Well, that changes this year as they put out 3 new seasonal flavors (at least, I think they are new - plus I haven't seen Eggnog in person yet). As an added bonus, I found these at Walmart!

Minter, I mean Winter, is upon us!


Who's ready for Minter? Sorry, I mean Winter! I don't crave minty flavors, but it's always fun to see them on store shelves. I mean, even Mochi is festive these days!

My/Mo Cool Peppermint Mochi Ice Cream

I was fairly tempted to pick these up just for a change of pace, but then I reflected on the fact that I've never been big on Mochi texture. As a disclaimer, it has been 4.5 years since my last Mochi review and I've never tried the My/Mo Mochi brand.

Haagen-Dazs Peppermint Bark Ice Cream

I'm always happy to see this one as well! White chocolate ice cream with peppermint bark pieces and peppermint pieces. Who knew chocolate covered peppermint could be this fun? Unfortunately this particular pint I bought was left out to melt at some point. I was trying to see how bad the damage was and when I went to scoop it out, this huge section of heavily melted and refrozen ice cream just flopped in to the sink. What a disappointment as this pint is a ton of fun. If you've never had it, give it a try. (original review here if you are interested)

Alright, I'm off to bring up some more decorations from the basement. I hope everyone is well. In the comments, let us know if you are excited for any particular seasonal treats (and if you don't like mint, that's cool too). Have a good week!

Homemade Brand Peppermint Stick Ice Cream


So the PR firm for Ohio based Homemade Brand Ice Cream didn't just send over the amazing Santa's Cookies flavor, they also sent over their other festive flavor....

Cumberland Farms Chocolate Peppermint Palooza Ice Cream


[New for 2017] I didn't plan on trying more Cumberland Farms flavors since I know many of you will never be able to try them, but check out the coloring on this new flavor. How can I resist something that so blatantly mimics the coloring from a York Peppermint Patty?

Three Twins Mint Confetti Ice Cream


I was serious when I said I was trying to fill in my three twins knowledge. There are currently 23 flavors and I've only had... six of them? Wow, that's just sad, I didn't realize I was that far behind! I need to get caught up post haste!

Ben & Jerry's EMPOWER mint Ice Cream Review


[Announced May 17, 2016] You know Ben & Jerry's is big in to democracy right? Democracy of (all) the people, by (all) the people, and for (all) the people. Not just the company, the actual Ben and Jerry too. From getting the dough out of politics to getting arrested on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building, this is a serious matter for them. The next step? A new flavor ofcourse!

Hood Peppermint Stick Ice Cream


Ok, today we have a seasonal flavor that's been out for a few weeks now. It's nothing new, it's been out for a long time apparently, but I cant find any record of me ever trying it (or if maybe it took a hiatus?). Anyway, here goes nothing!

Trader Joe's Peppermint Joe-Joe's Ice Cream


[New for 2015] You know what's funny. Yesterday, I didn't really want this ice cream. It was rainy, I had lots to do, and I just didn't feel like making the journey down the street. Well, today is a new day, it's sunny, and I must feel a little festive because I am totally ready to try....

Dairy Queen Candy Cane Oreo Blizzard Review


[New for Nov 2015] Ok, the candy cane chill blizzard finally has a sibling, and to keep things simple, I'll start this by saying it's a worthy upgrade.

Haagen-Dazs Peppermint Bark Ice Cream Bars


I know it's probably off most store shelves, but it's my fault for letting this box sit in the basement freezer.... but no more! I mean to review these every year and gosh golly gee willickers, I'm going to review them if it's the last thing I......

Gelato Fiasco Darkest Chocolate Peppermint Sorbetto


[2014-2015] Amongst the free samples of new seasonal flavors that Gelato Fiasco was cool enough to send over, there was one pint in particular... that managed to fall behind the frozen veggies and tater tots in the freezer downstairs. Hehehehe, sorry about that GF.
