2025 Christmas Froyo Shop Spirit Winner

 

Fro-yo girl here. I love seeing all the froyo Christmas spirit during the holiday season. It makes it hard to choose the shop with the most Christmas spirit!

This year, the winner of the Christmas Froyo Shop Spirit Award is…Yogurtland for the second year in a row.

Yogurtland brought by the 12 Days of Froyo promotion, with a mystery reward every day for Real Rewards members. They introduced a new flavor, Peppermint Mocha froyo, and a festive topping, mini gingerbread man cookies. There was a new festive spoon with a red candy cane design and holiday cups. The gift cards also featured holiday designs.

Last year, Yogurtland introduced a new flavor, Peppermint Fudge Brownie, and brought back a seasonal flavor, Cranberry Orange Tart. They also had a new holiday cup design, new holiday spoons (gingerbread man, giant hunter green), a new holiday topping (mini gingerbread men cookies), an online exclusive festive Gingerbread Wonderland froyo creation, and, to top it all off, a 12 Days of Froyo promotion for Real Rewards members.

2024 Christmas Spirit Froyo Shop Winner

 

Fro-yo girl here. I love seeing Christmas froyo spirit during the holiday season. I noticed that 12 days of Christmas promotions were particularly popular this year, and I approve. Santa also made an appearance at multiple froyo shops.

So, which froyo shop had the most Christmas spirit this year? IMHO, Yogurtland wins. This Christmas, Yogurtland introduced a new flavor, Peppermint Fudge Brownie, and brought back a seasonal flavor, Cranberry Orange Tart. They also had a new holiday cup design, new holiday spoons (gingerbread man, giant hunter green), a new holiday topping (mini gingerbread men cookies), new holiday sticker sheets, an online exclusive festive Gingerbread Wonderland froyo creation, and to top it all off, a 12 Days of Froyo promotion for Real Rewards members. During the 12 Days of Froyo, Yogurtland guests will receive a mystery reward each day when they visit the store or order online.

Last year, Llaollao had the most Christmas spirit. Llaollao celebrated Christmas 2023 with a new turron sauce, turron (Spanish nougat), new holiday cup design, new llaollao tote bag, llaollao Christmas socks, and a holiday giveaway.

The 2023 Christmas Spirit Froyo Shop Winner

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been tracking Christmas spirit at froyo shops around the world and I’ve seen new holiday froyo flavors, holiday toppings, holiday spoons, holiday cups, holiday promotions, holiday gift card designs, festive store decorations, holiday froyo cakes, visits from Santa, and more. Taking all of these into consideration, the froyo shop (or chain) with the most holiday spirit in 2023 is…Llaollao.

Llaollao celebrated Christmas with a new sauce, turron (Spanish nougat), a new holiday cup design, a new llaollao tote bag, llaollao Christmas socks, and a holiday giveaway. The turron sauce is only available in December, while supplies last. But you can buy jars of it for home consumption (and/or gifts).

The 2022 Christmas Spirit Froyo Shop Winner

 

Fro-yo girl here. Last Christmas, 16 Handles in Stamford, Connecticut was named the first winner of the Christmas Spirit Froyo Shop (Virtual) Award. They demonstrated their holiday spirit with elaborate window displays and store decorations and they had two holiday new flavors: Butter Cookie ice cream and Cinnamon Bun oatmilk soft serve. They even had a staff holiday party. Congrats!

This year, I’ve seen new holiday froyo flavors, holiday toppings, holiday spoons, holiday cups, holiday promotions, holiday gift card designs, festive store decorations, holiday froyo cakes, visits from Santa, and more. Taking all of these into consideration, the froyo shop (or chain) with the most holiday spirit in 2022 is…Yogurtland.

It’s been years since Yogurtland has shown this much holiday spirit. Remember their annual Yuletide promotions when they introduced 12 holiday flavors? Think back a decade. When they first started the promo, they had a new holiday flavor available for one day for 12 consecutive days! 

It’s nice to see that they’ve got their holiday spirit back. This year, they had a new holiday cup design featuring gold stars on a background of red and burgundy, a cup of froyo, and the words Love, Hope, and Joy. Then there were two new holiday flavors, Chocolate Peppermint Cookie froyo and Snickerdoodle froyo, new holiday toppings (mini Stroopwaffel cookies, holiday tree gummies), and a new holiday spoon that’s red and has a present on the end of the handle. It didn’t end there. They introduced an intriguing White Elephant froyo flavor, which apparently is more than one flavor. There’s an online exclusive froyo creation called the Sugar and Spice cup which features Snickerdoodle froyo topped with Holiday Gummies and Stroopwafels. The gift cards feature holiday designs. They gave out Yogurtland holiday sticker sheets and had a few holiday promos and giveaways, like double points for Real Rewards members. Also, there’s new Yogurtland merchandise, including apparel for adults and kids, bibs, giant froyo spoons, mugs, tumblers, hats, totes, backpacks, pet accessories, and more. Proceeds from the sale of Yogurtland merchandise will be donated to Yogurtland Cares, Yogurtland's non-profit that supports organizations that assist women and children. So, they’re helping others during the holidays (and beyond).

Fro-yo girl here. Every Easter and Halloween, I select the froyo shop with the most Easter and Halloween spirit. I somehow overlooked the biggest holiday, Christmas, even though many froyo shops acknowledge Christmas. I’ve seen Christmas froyo flavors, Christmas toppings, Christmas promotions, Christmas decorations, Christmas spoons, Christmas cups, Christmas froyo cakes, etc. I’ve seen a couple of twelve days of Christmas promotions – very cute.

The first winner of the Christmas Froyo Shop Spirit Award is…16 Handles Stamford, Connecticut. First, their holiday window display and store decorations are attention getting. Second, they had a staff holiday party. Third, they have two new holiday flavors, Butter Cookie ice cream and Cinnamon Bun oatmilk soft serve. They also brought back Eggnog froyo. Congrats!

Merry Fro-yo Christmas

Fro-yo girl here. It’s Christmas Eve and I hope you’re going to have a nice big cup of gingerbread, egg nog, cocoa minty holiday cookie or peppermint froyo today. Use your Menchie’s holiday spoon and top it with peppermint bark, red & green M&Ms, candy canes, gingerbread cookies, Christmas sprinkles, pfeffernusse, chocolate nonpareils, white chocolate, cranberries, toasted pecans, etc.

Here’s a festive picture I took at one of my favorite places: Blush Burlingame. I also made an ornament out of a froyo cup while I was there (they had an ornament making station) enjoying the gingerbread froyo and added it to their Christmas tree.

Hope you wake up and find fro-yo gift cards in your stocking. Happy holidays to all fro-yo fans!

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Celebrating the Holiday Season with Fro-yo

Fro-yo girl here. It seems like I can't go anywhere these days without seeing a Christmas tree and fro-yo shops are showing their Xmas spirit as well. While Halloween and Thanksgiving were about pumpkin fro-yo, Christmas brings flavors like egg nog, peppermint/candy cane, and gingerbread and toppings like peppermint bark and candy canes.

Fro-yo gift cards are a no-brainer stocking stuffer for any fro-yo fan on your list, but did you know about fro-yo ornaments? The ice cream ornaments are cuter though.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
