Salt & Straw's Pints of the Month for December include holiday classics that are as indulgent as they are comforting—and the selection even includes a limited-edition treat made with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's own tequila. The collection of holiday ice creams includes decadent flavors like Cocoa & Peppermint Patties, Gingerbread Cookie Dough and Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache, plus a vegan-friendly flavor called The Great Cookie Swap.
Outside of the December 2020 Pints of the Month, Dwanta's Teremana Spiked Eggnog flavor, a frozen custard mixed with amontillado sherry and nutmeg, can also be found in the Dwanta Claus Naughty, Nice & Spiked pack that also shares fun flavors like I Saw Mommy Kissing Dwanta Claus.
