Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned Limited Edition holiday ice cream

by

As I write this, I’m enjoying a couple of scoops of Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned Limited Edition holiday ice cream. For the sake of a review, of course! It just hit me that ice cream is just as comforting when it’s 16 degrees outside as it is on a hot summer day! So yummy!

If you live West of The Rockies, you probably know this ice cream under the Dreyer’s brand, and if you live from the Midwest all the way to the East Coast, like me, you’re likely a fan of Edy’s ice cream. William Dreyer and Joseph Edy were the company’s founders. The reason there are two different names is to avoid confusion with the Breyers brand, which was already established when Dreyer’s expanded towards the East Coast back in the 80’s. As you can see from the photos of the ice cream cartons, aside from the name, both brands are identical.

To celebrate the holiday season, Dreyer’s/Edy’s is selling a few special holiday inspired flavors of their Slow Churned light ice cream. Peppermint, Eggnog and Hot Cocoa. You can create delicious desserts with them (there are recipes on the website!) or enjoy a few scoops on their own.

Peppermint ice creamI’ve tried the Peppermint and Hot Chocolate varieties and it’s hard to believe they have 50% less fat and 30% fewer calories than regular ice cream. Rich, creamy, and full of flavor, you won’t miss that extra fat one bit! The Peppermint ice cream has real peppermint candy pieces swirled through it, which makes for a unique but holiday appropriate dessert. The Hot Cocoa ice cream tastes like that hot cocoa you make from a powdered mix, complete with marshmallows! My daughters were a little perplexed by it because the flavor is spot on! And the Egg Nog ice cream I just picked up at the market today and had a couple of spoonfuls of… so good. I’m thinking it would make a great milkshake!

Hot Cocoa ice creamYum!

  5. My family would probably enjoy the Peppermint and Hot Chocolate flavors the best. I’d like the Dreyer’s coupons (because I don’t think Edy’s is sold here in Oregon). Thanks for the giveaway.

  6. I’d love to have Edy’s since there’s no Dryer’s here & I’d love to try the Egg Nog Limited Edition & Apple Pie Limited Edition

  16. I would like the Dreyers only and would love to try the Peanut Butter Cup

  30. Hi- I’d like to try the Limited Edition Peppermint flavor Dreyers. But I can’t guarantee if I win the coupons that one won’t go for good old Rocky Road.

  34. I would like to try the Edy’s Apple Pie flavor OR the Dreyer’s Rocky Road!! They both look soooo yummy!! 🙂

  40. We love, love, love Edys ice cream, its our favorite and we would love to try the limited edition of Hot Chocolate, usually when I buy a 1/2 gal Chocolate on Friday come saturday its gone, my hubby will just keep eating, eating til nothings left, he really is the ice cream addict at my house but we all love edys, thanks for the great giveaway

  45. Peppermint and Egg Nog both sound good. I’d really like the peppermint. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway

  70. We love, love, love the Dreyer’s Peppermint. We’ve been going through 3-4 cartons a week at our house! I wish they’d make it all year long, it’s so yummy!

  82. I’d love to try the Peppermint. I have the Eggnog one in the freezer as we speak but haven’t tried it yet. I got hooked on their Pumpkin Pie flavor last month. Wish they sold it year long! I find it confusing when companies have 2 names depending on where you live. (Best Foods mayo/Hellman’s). Here it is Dreyer’s. I don’t know how you pronounce Edy’s (Eddie’s? Eadie’s?)

  101. Either coupon would be wonderful – I would love to try Edy’s slow-churned hot cocoa ice cream!

  105. I would love to try the Edy’s Hot Chocolate. yum-o. I would like to have the Edy’s coupons…I don’t think we have Dreyers in our area.

    Thanks for the yummy giveaway!
    Happy Holidays!

  110. Hot Cocoa from Edy’s sounds wonderful. We love ice cream. The Edy’s coupons would be great. Thanks.

  113. Every year I wait for the Peppermint, SOOOOOOO good! I love either brand, they are both great quality!

  141. Hot Cocoa flavor sounds great! I don’t think we have Edy’s on the West Coast, so I’d prefer the Dreyer’s coupon.

  145. I like the eggnog and it seems Edy’s is the only company to make it so I’ll say Edy’s please.

  150. Ooh, that Peppermint one looks good! I live in Edy’s country, hehe 🙂

  163. I’d like to try the Egg Nog Limited Edition flavor, and I’d prefer the Edy’s coupon, thanks.

  169. I would like to try either Dreyer’s or Edy’s. I would especially like to try Dryers Eggnog or Peppermint.

  180. I would love to try them all, but Edy’s Slow Churned Hot Cocoa sounds reeeallly good! We only have Edy’s here, not Dreyer’s, so I’d want an Edy’s coupon if I win. 🙂

  184. I would love to try the peppermint limited addition, I perfer EDY’S

  211. I would happily dive into Edy’s Slow Churned Egg Nog. That must taste fantastic. I’d make some great milk shakes with it.

    Edy’s is my preference for the coupons. I’m crossing my fingers.
