They stock dozens of flavors that work great for the season, including:

These Christmas ice cream flavors pair perfectly with toppings like crushed candy canes, spiced nuts, and caramel drizzle. Check out their Holiday Ice Cream Party Ideas for topping ideas, serving tips, and inspiration for building a sundae bar your guests will love.

How to Style the Perfect Holiday Sundae Station

To create a sundae station that feels fun but still coordinated with your holiday décor:

• Place the ice cream bar near the fireplace or Christmas tree for a warm backdrop.
• Label each flavor and topping with mini chalkboard signs for a personal touch.
• Let kids decorate their sundae cups with stickers or washi tape for extra holiday cheer.

It’s a simple combination of cozy and playful that keeps the mood light and festive.
