For the second year in a row I’ve been making Josh a non-traditional advent calendar for the days leading up to Christmas. He is so good to me all year round, I like doing something sweet that shows him how much I appreciate and love him. Every day in December he gets to open a gift from the present wall. There’s no rhyme or reason to what’s on the wall. One day it could be hot chocolate, the next day it could be event tickets. The only thing all the presents have in common is that they’re something he loves. Seeing how much he has been getting into this gift has made me so happy. I thought I’d show you one of the presents that brought the biggest smile to his face. It involves ice cream!
And not just any ice cream, but Nestle Peppermint Drumstick ice cream. Josh grew up eating Drumsticks and is obsessed with peppermint flavored things. He was so excited to hear about this limited edition flavor.
To get the Drumsticks I ventured to my nearest Walmart. It’s been a long time since I have been in one but I found the food section easy to navigate. In case you’re wondering, any ice cream that is a part of a product and not just a tub of ice cream is considered a novelty ice cream at Walmart. You learn something new everyday!
I took one out of the box, hid the rest in the back of the freezer, and then tied a bow to the individual cone. I placed it in the front of the freezer and wrote Josh a note on the advent wall to check the freezer for his daily present.
He was very excited. Better yet, he got this present eight days before Christmas, so he can enjoy one each night leading up to Christmas if he wants to. I was excited to be able to bring back a product of his childhood for him, and to be able to introduce him to a new flavor variety. It’s a quick and easy dessert that is perfect for the holidays. He gave it two huge thumbs up!
He loved the Peppermint Drumsticks so much he helped me make this video. I thought it was so cute I shared it on Instagram. 😀
Questions of the Day: Are you a Nestle Drumstick fan? Do you like peppermint? How do you like to surprise your loved ones at Christmas?
FUN surprise. I haven’t had an ice cream cone like that in ages. I used to love the nutty buddies … is that what they were called … We’d walk over to a local grocery store when we were kids to get them.
Josh is obsessed with them! I was happy to be able to surprise him with them! 😀
Those sound amazing. Good job Nestle coming up with a holiday pack! I would say I would pick these up next time in the store but I don’t think I would be able to control myself.
Josh is showing surprising restraint! haha
Peppermint ice cream is my favorite! My Mom used to buy it around the holidays and it is just sooooo good!
Josh is loving it!
Major props for Nestle’ in coming up with such a delicious flavor. Joshua will get drumsticks from time to time. Usually it’s a cookie dough flavor. Which are pretty delicious!
Ohh I would be all over the cookie dough flavor!
What a great idea to count down to Christmas. I may have to steal this next year. #client
Josh loved it! I thought it was such a fun present! 🙂
