Menu

Over at the Holiday Sweets & Treats Booth, you’ll find a variety of available items (mostly of the beverage variety).

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into everything!

Who’s ready for some SWEETS? Here’s what we tried at Holiday Sweets and Treats 🍦✨

Eats

The food on this menu is limited. Very limited. Only one item, in fact. The Peppermint Sundae for $6.50.

This treat is made with chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, and peppermint candy. In 2021, we thought this treat was sweet and refreshing. In 2023, this was nothing like a sundae. Instead, it’s like a chocolate milkshake with whipped cream and peppermint crumbles on top. It needed another layer of something to be more like a sundae. We’re not sure what it was missing, but we guess it worked as a milkshake. So, how does the 2024 version measure up?

This sundae held up fairly well in the sun. The ice cream base was much more “holiday” to us. The peppermint is just on top and not in the ice cream, so if you don’t really like peppermint, you can easily scrape it off or pick around it. It’s a very simple ice cream treat, but it is a bit bigger, which is nice.

Drinks

In terms of drinks on this menu, this booth is sure to have something for everyone in group. The Joffrey’s Hot Cocoa comes as a classic sweet beverage for $4.00, or you can get an adult version with a choice of Baileys Original Irish Cream for $12.50, Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream or Grand Mariner for $15.50.

Today, we got the Chocolate Peppermint Shake. It features Twinings Peppermint Cheer Tea. The non-alcoholic version is $4.75. The adult version comes with whipped cream vodka for $12.

In 2023, we tried the boozy version and had no regrets. The whipped cream vodka was DEFINITELY the right choice for this drink, making it smooth, a little icy, and sweet. When it all mixes with the chocolate flavor and the dash of peppermint on top, it’s a little bit extra. However, we got the non-alcoholic version this year, and after having both versions, we believe this is probably only worth grabbing if you’re going to add the vodka.

The peppermint was really only in the sprinkles on top, so it was basically just a chocolate milk shake. It was like drinking chocolate milk because of how fast it started to melt. Kids and people who don’t want a strong peppermint flavor will probably enjoy this treat, but for the price and size, we preferred the sundae above!

Now, we’ve got three beers to test out, and luckily, there’s a flight, so we can taste them ALL. You can get the flight for $10.25 or a 6 oz. pour of each for $5.75 or 12 oz. for $9.75. Let’s start sippin’!

The Deschutes Brewery Jubelale is VERY hoppy. It’s bitter and dry, which might be what many people like in a beer. If you do, then you’ll enjoy this!

The Southern Tier Brewing Co. 2XMAS Ale is still pretty hoppy. It’s lighter in flavor than the other two, but it’s still a hoppy beer.

Finally, the Wicked Weed Brewing Hop Cocoa Porter was the only one of the three that tasted like its name implied. It had a strong cocoa flavor and is very stout.

To appreciate and enjoy these three beers you really need to like stout and hoppy beers, which our reporter was not really a fan of. If you enjoy beers of this kind, stop by and give it a try!

OVERALL

This is not a best of the fest stand, but it might call to you. The flavors here are really niche from the chocolate peppermint to the stout and hoppy beers. Kids will probably enjoy the ice cream treats, while adults may have fun with the alcoholic peppermint shake!

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
