The new look for the ice cream brand features the work of Seattle-based artist Drew Wicklund, which playfully gives consumers a quick way to identify each unique flavor. While the Small Batch Bourbon Vanilla variety can be identified as the pint with a silhouette of a barrel, the Wildflower Honey Pistachio flavor features a bumble bee. Some of the new and intriguing flavors from the brand include Spearmint Chocolate Brownie, Sicilian Chocolate Cannoli and [Cold-Brewed Cinnamon Coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tillamook-ice-cream-flavors), which are made with grass-grazed milk, as well as unusual [dairy-free options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-dairy-free-decadence-series) like Moroccan Mash Up, Passion Carnivale and Chocolate Cherry Blossom. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Creative Craft Ice Cream:** The introduction of bold and unique flavors in both dairy and non-dairy options presents opportunities for innovation in creating new and unexpected combinations. - **Artistic Packaging:** The playful and visually distinctive packaging designs by a talented artist offer potential for disruptive innovation in packaging and brand recognition. - **Unconventional Ingredients:** The incorporation of unusual ingredients in ice cream flavors, such as bourbon, honey, and Moroccan spices, opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in product development and catering to adventurous palates. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The craft ice cream industry can explore new flavor combinations and ingredient choices to cater to evolving consumer preferences. - **Packaging and Design:** Companies in the packaging and design industry can leverage artistic collaborations to create visually appealing and unique package designs that stand out on store shelves. - **Alternative Dairy:** The alternative dairy industry can capitalize on the growing demand for dairy-free ice cream options by experimenting with creative and flavorful alternatives to traditional dairy ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Farm-Fresh Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-spoon-creamery.md) - [Coffee-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-inspired-ice-cream.md) - [Frozen Low-Sugar Protein Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-pints-flavor.md) - [Decadent Vegan Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-decadence-series.md) - [Allergen-Friendly Dairy-Free Ice Cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunscoop.md) - [Asian-Influenced Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabai-creamery.md) - [Founder-Honoring Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-ice-cream-flavor.md) - [Beer-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brewers-series.md) - [Chocolatier-Approved Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcconnells-fine-ice-creams-sees-candies.md)
