Krampus & Polar Express Ice Cream + Tasty Gift Ideas

Krampusnacht is Dec. 5th

Who’s on the naughty list? Tell the judgmental guy in the red suit to take a hike! Krampus Ice Cream is what you need. Our Cookies ‘n Cream is made with a creepy Christmas red. It will haunt your holiday dreams.

Note: Krampusnacht is always celebrated the night before the Feast of St. Nicholas. It is a night when people dress up as the devil (or Krampus) and parade while chasing "naughty" children through the streets.

St. Nick’s Day is Dec. 6th

We are all for candy in the shoe, but if you have been “nice” this past year, then you deserve a big scoop of Polar Express Ice Cream. Blue moon with a marshmallow stripe. It is now in the dip case. “All aboard!”
