Holiday ice cream

Some people wait all year for eggnog or pumpkin ice cream from Braum's.

I love both of those flavors, as well as the new ones they've added this year: gingerbread and peppermint chocolate chip.

Seasonal ice creams are so popular that companies tend to bring them out really early and let them drag on as long as they can past the holidays.

One flavor, Hot Cocoa Slow Churned ice cream from Edy's won't make it past the holidays. In fact, it's completely sold out in Tulsa, and most likely won't be back until next year. But Edy's does make a good Slow Churned Peppermint flavor that you can find at Wal-Mart and Target stores.

Baskin-Robbins has pumpkin, eggnog and a great Winter White Chocolate – a chocolate ice cream with chocolate-covered cherries and a cherry swirl.

Blue Bell makes a wonderful peppermint ice cream – a peppermint-flavored ice cream with crushed, sprinkled peppermint candies. And even though it doesn't scream Christmas, another great flavor Blue Bell is making just for December is caramel turtle fudge. I could eat three bowls.

This one can be hard to find, but it's so worth it if you can… Peppermint bark ice cream from Haagen-Dazs is so, so good. Grab a pint and a spoon and dig in to white chocolate ice cream with crumbled, crunchy dark and white chocolate peppermint bark.

When the opportunity to become the food writer at the Tulsa World presented itself in the summer of 2011, Nicole jumped at it. She is excited to explore a new side of Tulsa and make the transition from crime to cuisine. .
