Why You Should Be Eating Ice Cream in Winter The Toy Store / The Scoop What is your favorite season to eat ice cream? Here are our top 3 reasons why we think you should be eating ice cream in winter: 1.) The conditions are ideal: Winter means you get to eat ice cream without the stress of having to lick your melting ice cream before it starts dripping everywhere. Take your time, savor your ice cream. 2.) Ice cream goes well with everything: In summer, ice cream is often enjoyed on its own – perhaps with a wafer or a few toppings – but in the winter it can be the perfect partner to all of your favorite cold-weather favorites. There’s nothing quite like the taste of vanilla ice cream melting into the sponge of a sticky toffee pudding. 3.) Because winter is the time for seasonal flavors like pumpkin, eggnog, gingerbread, and other delicious limited-time-only delights. Check out our board for this week's flavors! Camp Cinder CAL FIRE CAL FIRE is proud to present Camp Cinder, a FREE #firefighter camp for young women in California!
