Salt & Straw dropped its 2022 holiday ice cream series with a range of flavors that turn favorite seasonal flavors into frozen treats ready to be enjoyed by the scoop. Each flavor was created to "capture the cheerful nostalgia and cozy traditions of the season" and the festively flavored series promises to remind of freshly baked cookies and cozying up by the fire.
Salt & Straw's 2022 Holiday Series includes Almond Brittle w/ Salted Ganache, Gingerbread Cookie Dough and Peppermint Cocoa, plus vegan-friendly options like The Great Cookie Swap.
Other noteworthy flavors include Dwanta's Teremana Spiked Eggnog, and for every pint of this flavor sold, Salt & Straw and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be donating $1 to World Central Kitchen. This holiday season, Salt & Straw is also auctioning off three Frozen Advent Calendars on eBay with The Rock to benefit the same cause.
