Portland-based ice cream chain Salt & Straw is celebrating the winter solstice in sweet style, offering customers a special promotion on the year’s darkest night.
On Saturday, December 21, the shop will offer a free upgrade to customers, doubling the size of all single scoops at no additional cost. In addition, customers who purchase gift cards valued at $25 or more will receive a $5 bonus on their balance. The ice cream promotion is available in-store only on the day of the event, while the gift card offer is valid both in-person and online through the end of the year.
Known for its creative and often unconventional flavors, Salt & Straw has become one of Portland’s most beloved local businesses. Throughout the 2010s, the chain earned national recognition for its unique approach to ice cream, blending traditional flavors with bold, artisan ingredients. Its salted caramel ice cream is a fan favorite, alongside quirky combinations like maple frosting with bacon.
This year, Salt & Straw has also introduced a special collection of seasonal flavors inspired by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s upcoming Amazon/MGM movie Red One. The limited-edition flavors include “Krampus’ Mince Pie with Pecan Crust,” featuring actual mincemeat bits.
Whether you’re indulging in a scoop of salted caramel or trying a holiday-themed creation, Salt & Straw’s winter solstice event offers a perfect way to sweeten the season.
