The holidays have arrived in Disney World, and so have the holiday flavors!
That’s right, we’ve been eating all kinds of holiday snacks flavored with peppermint, gingerbread, pumpkin, and other flavors of the season. But what if you don’t like those holiday flavors? Well, we found the perfect holiday snack that will please you!
Meet the Christmas Tree Swirl. It’s vanilla soft-serve ice cream with sugar lights, sprinkles, and a white chocolate star in a cone. It might look like it’s complicated with some kind of crazy holiday flavors, but don’t let its appearance fool you — it’s not! It’s just simple, but classic!
That’s what we really liked about this treat, too. It’s still a holiday snack — AND it’s fun! But it’s great for those of us ice cream fans who want a holiday treat without any extra holiday flavors.
Plus it’s just so CUTE! LOOK AT IT!
We found this treat at the Backstretch Pool Bar at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort for $5.99. Now, we probably wouldn’t tell you to make an extra trip to the resort to grab a simple ice cream cone, but if you find yourself in the area or if you’re staying at that resort, it’s worth checking out!
