16 Handles and Oatly are teaming up yet again to introduce seasonal soft serve flavors that are decadent, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. The 16 Handles x Oatly flavor was inspired by a beloved holiday dessert and it has the potential to appeal to a wide range of consumers, regardless of their dietary choices.
Thanks to its ongoing work with Oatly, 16 Handles is committed to increasing the environmental sustainability of its menu.
The partnering brands are also introducing another exclusive seasonal soft serve flavor alongside Caramel Apple, Cinnamon Bun. Both of these new menu additions are launching this year and they follow up the successful flavors that were previously released by the brands in the summer (Vanilla and Iced Latte.)
