Festive Fall Ice Creams

The Cold Stone Creamery's New Autumn Flavors Reflect Seasonal Tastes

— September 20, 2015 — Lifestyle
As the cooler weather begins to slip in and replace the summer days, Cold Stone Creamery is serving up ice cream with seasonal autumn flavors. These fresh flavors bring an infusion of warmth to the cold and creamy desserts.

This year's autumn flavors include pumpkin and salted caramel, which fully embrace the fall season. Touches of sweet caramel appear in two of the brand's newly launched flavors of Twisted Salted Caramel as well as a new Salted Caramel Frappe. The pumpkin-infused ice cream flavors are Pumpkin Pie in the Sky and Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie.

The dishes are then additionally enhanced with toppings such as pretzels, chocolate chips, graham cracker pie crust, whipped topping and caramel. These seasonally sweet treats bring an elegant zest to each of the new dishes. However, these dessert options will only be available until the month of November.
Trend Themes
1. Seasonal Flavored Desserts - Opportunity for brands to create seasonal flavors and capitalize on the limited availability of these flavors to create a sense of exclusivity and urgency among consumers.
2. Dessert Toppings - Innovative and creative toppings can set a brand apart and attract consumers looking for unique and flavorful dessert experiences.
3. Non-traditional Flavor Combinations - Experimenting with unusual and unexpected flavor pairings can create buzz and excitement around a brand's new offerings.
Industry Implications
1. Ice Cream Shops - Ice cream shops can leverage seasonal flavors and inventive toppings to draw in customers and create a loyal following.
2. Food and Beverage - Restaurants and food and beverage brands can develop and market seasonal dessert options as a way to differentiate themselves from competitors.
3. Packaged Foods - Companies can offer limited edition seasonal flavors of packaged desserts or foods to create a sense of exclusivity and drive sales through urgency to buy before the flavors are no longer available.
