The Great Value Lumps of Coal Ice Cream is arriving at [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-snacks) locations for the 2021 holiday season to provide consumers with a tasty option that sounds as though it's only for those on the naughty list. The ice cream is crafted with chocolate ice cream that has been paired with [swirls of fudge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fudge-truffle-ice-cream) an infused with chocolate-flavored chips. These ingredients work together to create a visual experience that looks more like lumps of coal rather than the tasty treat that it is.

The Great Value Lumps of Coal Ice Cream is being launched by the brand alongside a number of additional sweet treats that are each created with familiar flavors that have been reworked with a [holiday twist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-ice-cream-menu).
