2024 Easter Froyo Shop Spirit Award Announced

Fro-yo girl here. Happy Froyo Easter! It’s time to pick the froyo shop with the most Easter spirit in 2024. I feel like there’s less Easter spirit this year, but maybe it’s because Easter is so early.

This year’s Easter Froyo Shop Spirit Award winner is…Tutti Frutti Australia. They’re giving away a free sprinkle of Easter eggs with any froyo purchase during Easter week. There are currently fifteen Tutti Frutti shops in Australia.

Last year’s winner, Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, had an Easter giveaway where the prize was a Peeps-themed Easter basket and a $50 Orange Leaf gift card. Also, Orange Leaf shops featured Easter Peeps as the topping of the month in April 2023.

Fro-yo girl here. Happy Froyo Easter! Things are better in Los Angeles; the mask mandate ended on March 4 and it’s springtime. I’ve seen a few froyo shops with Easter decorations. Some of them had Easter events. Yogurtland and sweetFrog have Easter gift card designs this year.

Last year, Marcel’s Frozen Yogurt of South Africa won the Easter Froyo Shop Spirit Award. They introduced a new flavor, Hot Cross Bun, for Easter 2021.

Fro-yo girl here. Easter 2021 isn’t as bad as Easter 2020. Los Angeles just moved to the orange tier and most places have reopened or are about to, including gyms, movie theaters, museums, and theme parks. You can dine indoors again. And the stores are carrying plenty of delicious Easter candy, including new ones like KIT KAT Lemon Crisp miniatures (so good), KIT KAT Key Lime Pie, M&M’s White Chocolate Key Lime Pie, and Sour Patch Watermelon jelly beans.

Last year, Yo Mama Frozen Yogurt in Hong Kong won the Easter Froyo Shop Spirit Award because they had a new Easter flavor, Golden Egg Tart froyo. I love how it was Easter appropriate but also Chinese in spirit. This year, I spotted lots of cute Easter froyo creations, Easter toppings, and Easter promotions.

The winner of the 2021 Easter Froyo Shop Spirit Award is…Marcel’s Frozen Yogurt of South Africa (IG @marcels_za). Marcel’s just introduced a new Easter froyo flavor, Hot Cross Bun. It’s available for a limited time, until April 16. Marcel’s describes the flavor as, “Every spoonful captures the flavour of freshly baked hot cross buns, complete with fragrant spices and a hint of citrus.”

Winner of the 2020 Easter Froyo Shop Spirit Award

Fro-yo girl here. Easter definitely doesn’t feel the same this year, since we’re still under “stay at home” orders here in California. Many froyo shops are closed around the world right now, sadly. But, the holiday must go on and there’s still some froyo Easter spirit out there.

Last year’s Easter Froyo Shop winner was the Yog Bar UK. They demonstrated their Easter froyo spirit by creating Luxury Egg Yog Sundaes (giant chocolate eggs filled with froyo and toppings) and holding an Easter contest with Wolf + Lamb. Unfortunately, the Yog Bar is currently closed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

This year, Pinkberry Japan has really cute Easter creations again. Yogurt Mill just brought back Marshmallow Peeps froyo. DAIREE in Australia has hot cross buns stuffed with hot cross bun froyo with cinnamon sauce (wow). I've seen lots of Easter froyo pies and cakes. TCBY, Yogurtland, and sweetFrog provided free Easter crafts online.

Without further ado, this year’s winner of the Easter Froyo Shop Spirit Award is…Yo Mama Frozen Yogurt (@yomamafroyohk) in Hong Kong (multiple locations). Yo Mama just introduced a new Easter-inspired froyo flavor, Golden Egg Tart froyo flavor, topped with gooey caramel sauce. What’s so brilliant about this new flavor is that it’s so appropriate for Easter (eggs) and Hong Kong (egg tarts). The caramel sauce would add a nice salty kick but I’d love to top it with the flaky egg tart crust too.

I’ve never had egg tart froyo before but I was inspired to pair egg tarts with froyo back in 2017 and I have the post to prove it. Egg tarts went well with froyo. What I’d like to try next is a warm pineapple bun filled not with a pat of butter, custard or cream, but with froyo. I also read a few HK egg tart recipes that didn’t seem too complicated. Maybe I’ll make some at home.

Winner of the 1st Easter Froyo Shop Spirit Award

Fro-yo girl here. Every Halloween, I select the froyo shop with the most Halloween spirit. This year I decided to expand that concept to cover Easter, by selecting the froyo shop with the most Easter spirit. 

I’ve seen quite a bit of Easter spirit out there, including special Easter froyo creations, Easter toppings (e.g., jelly beans, Cadbury eggs, PEEPS), Easter basket giveaway contests, Easter designs on froyo cups, and Easter froyo cakes.

Smile Yogurt, Pinkberry Japan, and the Yog Bar UK are offering Easter parfaits and sundaes. The Yog Bar created Luxury Egg Yog Sundaes – filling giant chocolate eggs with froyo and toppings. Yo-Chi Frozen Yogurt in Australia teamed up with Tub O’Dough for a special Easter topping, Easter flavor cookie dough.

The winner of the first annual Easter froyo shop spirit is…The Yog Bar. The Yog Bar has Luxury Egg Yog Sundaes this year: The Monster Mini Egg Yog Sundae, The Crème Egg Yog Sundae, and The Galaxy Golden Egg Sundae. Each sundae is packed with Easter goodness. For example, the Monster Mini Egg Yog Sundae is filled with mini egg cookie dough, froyo, white chocolate sauce, and crushed mini eggs. The Golden Egg Sundae has caramel sauce, salted caramel cookie dough, froyo (your choice of flavor)/ Galaxy Golden Eggs, and Cadbury’s caramel sauce served in half a chocolate Easter egg. And the Crème Egg Yog Sundae features white chocolate sauce, chocolate chip cookie dough, choice of froyo, half a Crème Egg, and chocolate fudge sauce drizzle, served in half a Cadbury’s chocolate egg.

The Yog Bar also partnered with a restaurant, Wolf + Lamb, for an Easter contest. The prize was a free visit to The Yog Bar for up to 4 people and a free visit to Wolf + Lamb. Naturally, they offer special Easter toppings as well.
