Ice Cream for the Holidays

December 11th, 2009 @ 2:00pm (PT) by Rebecca Bollwitt
Posted in christmas, contests, food

The snow has stopped falling outside and although a cool treat may be the last thing on your wind-chilled mind, I have a something sweet to offer a few readers that just might warm up their day.

If I had a million flavours If I had a million flavours If I had a million flavours

Ben & Jerry’s has given me 5 pints of ice cream to give away in the hopes that people will consider ice cream as a holiday party host/hostess gift this season. The idea is that sure, you could show up with wine or crackers but sometimes the sweet surprise of Chunky Monkey, If I had 1,000,000 Flavours, or Cherry Garcia can light up any event. You can give the ice cream as a gift, keep it for yourself, or donate it to someone you think would really appreciate the treat this season.

To enter, just leave a comment or re-tweet this post and I’ll draw 5 winners on Monday. The pints of Ben & Jerry’s (in free coupon form) will then be mailed so that you can select your own flavours and pick them up whenever you like over the holidays. It’s just a small token of appreciation from me to you as you’ve helped Miss604.com have such a great year — and there’s even more things like this to come. Have a great weekend everyone!

Update: My winners are… Erin Maher, Kate T, Gloria, Robert, and Heather. I’ll send you each an email shortly to get your details. Congratulations!

    I’ve never had it, but I really want to try Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream flavour from Ben and Jerry’s. :) Can’t call yourself a part of the Colbert Nation until you’ve had a taste of the Kool-Aid ice cream.

  9. Miss604 says:

    @Tyler yeah it could get messy otherwise :-P the winners will get their coupons mailed to them directly (either that or they could get mailed to me and then I’ll dispense them but that may just take a bit too long at this time of year).
