Ben & Jerry's is kicking off the arrival of 2020 by dropping a new ice cream flavor called 'Netflix & Chilll'd.' It was specifically created as the perfect snack for cozy nights in, streaming favorite TV shows and movies. In partnership with Netflix, Ben & Jerry's crafted a peanut butter ice cream with sweet and salty pretzel swirls and fudge brownies. Fortunately for those who prefer non-dairy frozen dessert options, Ben & Jerry's is also offering an identical option of the "Netflix Original Flavor" made with a base of almond milk.
To introduce their newest collaboration to the world, Ben & Jerry's and Netflix created a short video that mimics scenes from popular series like Money Heist and Big Mouth.
