Special holiday ice cream flavors are always a good bet as consumers tend to get into the festive spirit and are looking for something new, unique, and limited edition. Beloved dessert brand Häagen-Dazs is staying on the cusp of this as it announces the launch of its festive offering for this year — Peppermint Bark.
The holiday ice cream will be launched in two formats. One will be the classic Häagen-Dazs pint which will boast rich white chocolate that is blended with "crunchy chocolaty peppermint bark and peppermint candy pieces." The mix of textures will surely appeal to many. The second product that is adorned with the festive taste is a box of ice cream bars — each is speckled with cool peppermint candy pieces.
The Häagen-Dazs holiday ice cream flavors will be available to consumers starting October 1st.
