• Toasted White Chocolate & Peppermint Almonds — New to this year’s menu in collaboration with SkinnyDipped Almonds® , the mother and daughter founded company based in Seattle, this flavor starts with an ice cream base made with white chocolate, baked until golden brown, with chopped SkinnyDipped Almonds® thinly coated in dark chocolate and peppermint sugar.

• Gingerbread Cookie Dough — Inspired by Grandma Malek’s favorite gingerbread molasses “Cry Baby” cookie recipe, which is turned into a gooey cookie butter and layered in dark rum royal icing ice cream and folded with spiced gingerbread.

• Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache — This flavor uses Grandma Malek’s almond brittle recipe, tossed with chocolate ganache in a classic vanilla ice cream.

• Dwanta’s Teremana Spiked Eggnog — Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s holiday alter ego, Dwanta, is back this year to celebrate the holiday season, providing Teremana Reposado Tequila to spike the rich custard ice cream, combined with Amontillado sherry, nutmeg, and dark agave for a toasty finish.

• Chocolate Sugar Cookie Dough (v) — This dairy free version of the quintessential holiday cookie features chocolate ice cream made with upcycled vegan barley milk, studded with sugar cookie dough nuggets and a ribbon of raspberry jam
