Dress Up Your DessertsSpirited Shakes

Looking for the ultimate holiday beverage? “Boozy” shakes are an on-trend favorite in restaurants from New York to San Francisco. Alcoholic malts, milkshakes and other creamy concoctions make the holiday season all the more festive, especially with top-shelf HÄAGEN-DAZS and DREYER’S ice cream. Add it to traditional favorites like eggnog, or experiment with new creations like a blended peppermint shake made with crème de cacao and soft peppermint candy. Nonalcoholic versions are also a favorite among holiday patrons of all ages. So go ahead and shake things up a little.

Special holiday creations pair premium items from the bakery with favorite holiday flavors, like pumpkin and peppermint.

Specialty desserts also drive increased check averages because customers are willing to spend more for brands that they trust. Brands like DREYER’S or HÄAGEN-DAZS also give operators another advantage—collaboration.
