McConnell’s Fine Ice Cream, a beloved Santa Barbara-based brand, has introduced an array of festive flavors this holiday season, featuring both seasonal favorites and exciting new limited-edition collaborations.
One of the standout offerings is the new Apple Cider & Cranberry Jam ice cream, a co-branded creation with Martinelli’s, the iconic apple cider producer. This unique treat combines McConnell’s signature sweet cream ice cream infused with Martinelli’s non-alcoholic apple cider. Ribbons of house-made tart cranberry jam swirl throughout the ice cream, creating a vibrant and refreshing dessert that’s both light and rich in flavor.
For those who prefer classic holiday flavors, McConnell’s is also offering their perennial favorites, including Peppermint Stick (a winter favorite that’s available year-round) and Reindeer Tracks, which features dark chocolate ice cream mixed with peppermint candy and chocolate cookie chunks. A new addition this season is the Pumpkin Spiced Latte ice cream, a seasonal delight made with a pumpkin base spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice, complemented by a shot of espresso and swirls of salted caramel. This flavor stands out for its authentic, rich taste, unlike many artificial-tasting pumpkin spice options.
In a special collaboration for Hanukkah, McConnell’s has partnered with L.A.’s Genghis Cohen, a renowned spot for music and Chinese cuisine, to create the Baby Got Mac(aroon) ice cream. This limited-edition treat features toasted coconut macaroon cookies swirled into a decadent coconut cream ice cream and topped with shards of bittersweet Guittard chocolate—perfect for holiday potlucks.
These new and returning seasonal flavors from McConnell’s are sure to bring holiday cheer to dessert tables across the region.
