While not the usual take on everyone's favorite fall dishes, the new Thanksgiving-themed ice creams are certainly festive. For several years, the Oregon-based ice cream shop Salt & Straw has been churning out pints of seasonal ice creams that taste like different Thanksgiving foods. This year, the Seasonal Pints Pack features ice cream in five deliciously festive flavors: Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey, Sweet Potato Casserole with Maple Pecans, Roasted Peach & Sage Cornbread Stuffing, [Roasted Cranberry Sauce Sorbet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cranberry-panettone), and finally, [Spiced Goat Cheese & Pumpkin Pie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-in-the-sky-creation). Just as the names suggest, each pint is meant to evoke the flavor of a beloved Thanksgiving dish. This year, Salt & Straw is making the promotion even sweeter by donating a pint for every pint purchased.
