Fro-yo girl here. The last of the new “Holiday Dessert Fair” flavors, Fresh Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, was scheduled to launch in stores yesterday but I had some difficulty finding it (they planned to put it in that evening).
I confess that I despise raisins, so I was afraid of the new flavor. However, I do like oatmeal and oatmeal cookies so I was also curious. Fresh Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookie froyo is made with real cinnamon, oats and raisins. One thing I don’t like about raisins is that the flavor is intense and concentrated. Because the raisins are in teeny bits in the froyo, there wasn’t a huge burst of raisin flavor (a good thing). I could taste raisins but also other flavors, raisins were just one component. The flavor was creamy and comforting. It did taste like it was supposed to. If you have a sweet tooth, I bet the Cinnabon icing would complement the flavor, because I remember how oatmeal raisin cookies were often iced.
Recommended toppings: White chocolate chips, Nilla wafers, cheesecake pieces, Cinnabon icing
For some reason the South Pasadena Menchie’s is still out of Alvin spoons. Both the Menchie’s in Monrovia and Alhambra have Alvin spoons.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Fro-yo girl here. The Holiday Dessert Fair continues at Menchie’s with two new flavors, Holiday Eggnog and Dark Chocolate Cherry Brownie.
I know Menchie’s has had Eggnog froyo before but I usually only sample it because I don’t like eggnog at all. The New Holiday Eggnog is Simon’s Choice (from Alvin & the Chipmunks); it’s lowfat and made with eggs, nutmeg and ginger. The eggnog flavor isn’t too strong, which is good. I could taste the eggnog and nutmeg.
Recommended toppings: Nilla wafers, Cool Whip, cheesecake bites, donut cake
Dark Chocolate Cherry Brownie froyo is Alvin’s choice. This lowfat froyo is made with real cherries and cocoa. I could taste the cherry but it wasn’t overpowering. Chocolate and cherries are a nice combination. It didn’t seem super sweet either.
Recommended toppings: mini Hershey’s kisses, crushed candy canes, brownies, Andes Mints, hot fudge sauce
My Menchie’s location ran out of the Alvin spoons yet again (sad face) and the Alvin & the Chipmunk yogurt cups.
The next new holiday flavor is Fresh Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, starting December 15.

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s rolled out a new holiday flavor today, Southern Pecan Pie froyo. The new flavor is the favorite of Theodore (from Alvin and the Chipmunks), according to the flavor card. Southern Pecan Pie froyo is lowfat and contains pecans and pie crust crumbs.
I’ve never eaten pecan pie (and I never want to) but I do eat pecans. Southern Pecan Pie froyo did have a nutty pecan flavor though it was on the subtle side. I couldn’t detect the pie crust. The flavor seemed very sweet and was a bit icy. Mr. Froyo agreed that he could taste pecans.
Recommended toppings: Whipped cream, almonds, Heath Bars, graham cracker crumbs
My Menchie’s location ran out of the Alvin spoons (sad face) though they’re expecting more soon. They still had plenty of Alvin & the Chipmunk yogurt cups.
The next new holiday flavors are Holiday Eggnog and Dark Chocolate Cherry Brownie, due December 1.

Fro-yo girl here. Here’s a closer look at the new Menchie’s Alvin the Chipmunk limited edition froyo spoons, inspired by the upcoming 20th Century Fox for the new holiday movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip. The holiday themed spoon is available while supplies last (they hope to have them throughout the holiday season/till the end of the year).
Alvin has a red Santa cap on and the spoon says Menchie Loves Alvin. You can see the back of Alvin when you turn the spoon over.

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s has partnered with 20th Century Fox for the new holiday movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip. Alvin and friends have inspired new Menchie’s cups, spoons, promotions and holiday flavors.
New goodies arrived yesterday at Menchie’s locations. New flavors will launch throughout the holiday season. There’s a new topping too: Chocolate dipped cherries.
New flavors (launch date):
- Chocolate Mint Crème made with Andes Mints (Nov. 1): Tastes just like the Andes mint candy, so there’s a strong mint flavor. Recommended toppings: anything chocolate, Andes Mints, almonds
- Spiced Gingerbread Cookie (Nov. 1): Made with real ginger cookies. I could taste mild spices but not the cookies. It didn’t have a strong gingerbread taste. Recommended toppings: nuts, graham cracker crumbs, Cool Whip
- Southern Pecan Pie (Nov. 16)
- Holiday Eggnog (Dec. 1)
- Dark Chocolate Cherry Brownie (Dec. 1)
- Fresh Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (Dec. 16)
The new limited time only cups feature Alvin and his friends, Simon and Theodore, wearing Santa hats. The new limited time only red spoons feature Alvin in a Santa hat.
There’s a holiday gift card promotion. For every $25 Menchie’s gift card purchased, receive a $5 bonus Alvin and the Chipmunks Menchie’s gift card.
Menchie's associates have Alvin and the Chipmunk t-shirts - cute.
