We can always count on Baskin-Robbins to surprise us with some brand-new flavors just in time for the holidays. The popular ice cream chain is welcoming Thanksgiving with the special flavor Turkey Day Fixin’s, which perfectly captures the taste of classic Thanksgiving side dishes.

It’s always exciting to see Baskin-Robbins announce their Flavor of the Month, and Turkey Day Fixin’s felt like the perfect choice for November. It hit the shelves just in time for Thanksgiving, and it’s currently available at Baskin-Robbins locations all across the United States.

The main idea behind Turkey Day Fixin’s is to emulate the taste of almost every classic Thanksgiving side dish at once, and the mastermind behind it achieved this by coming up with a perfect combo of different flavors.

“Have the perfect Thanksgiving spoonful with our new Flavor of the Month, Turkey Day Fixin’s! This flavor brings a lot to the table with sweet potato and autumn spice ice creams with honey cornbread pieces and cranberry sauce swirls,” reads Baskin-Robbins’ press release.

As if that wasn’t enough, Baskin-Robbins will also offer their signature Turkey Cake at selected locations this holiday season. It’s decorated to look just like the roasted turkey, and it’s covered in caramel praline glaze and filled with ice cream flavors of your choosing.

If you love ice cream and Stranger Things equally, Scoops Ahoy was probably your favorite fictional place from the beloved series. Netflix joined forces with Walmart to launch the sweetest food collection inspired by this nautical-themed ice cream parlor.

Located within the walls of Starcourt Mall, Scoops Ahoy was first introduced during the third season and it served as Steve Harrington or Robin Buckley’s workplace. This summer job is long behind them, but Scoops Ahoy still lives in our mind rent-free—and Netflix decided to do something about it!

They joined forces with Walmart for a brand-new Scoops Ahoy ice cream line, packed with flavors and textures that will whisk you away to the heart of Hawkins, Indiana. Tied to episodes, themes, and characters from the world of Stranger Things, each Scoops Ahoy ice cream is special in its own right.

Netflix introduced four flavors inspired by the series and its characters, called U.S.S. Butterscotch, Cinnamon Bun Bytes, Chocolate Pudding, and Triple Decker. They also launched three new flavors that pay homage to the show’s spooky parallel universe the Upside Down: Mint Flare, Pineapple Upside, and The Void.

All flavors are available for purchase at select Walmart stores and they’ll give you a taste of Stranger Things before the show returns for its highly-anticipated fifth and final season.

We can’t discuss the latest trends in music and not mention South Korean bands like BTS and Blackpink who are on their way to conquering the West. Bands like these have always had a big fanbase, but they recently started doing their songs in English, gaining even more fans all over the world. 

On August 27th, Blackpink and Selena Gomez premiered their new song called “Ice Cream” after weeks of teasing fans. The song is catchy, has an upbeat vibe, and the video is a treat for anyone into retro style.

Once you watch the video and the song gets in your ear, you won’t be able to stop yourself from humming it all day long! We loved watching the video on repeat and catching all the amazing retro outfits the girls wore. And just look at those ‘80s accessories like the see-through phone Gomez is using—they are giving us major nostalgic vibes.

“Throughout the music video we tried to have each look suit that entire set, and we especially focused on wearing bright colors that suit the overall vibe of the music and concept,” Blackpink told CNN Style. “We really wanted to portray that fun, bright, summer energy through our outfits, and we hope this message went through to our fans.”

Who doesn’t love McFlurry’s, shakes, and hot fudge sundaes from McDonald’s? While we love these treats, the real dessert winner at McDonald’s is the soft serve and although it’s basic, this soft serve proves that simple is sometimes better. But, the best thing about this creamy treat is that it’s on the fast-food restaurant’s dollar menu. When you crave a simple, but decadent sundae, McDonald’s is the place to go. One this they don’t have on their menu are floats, which are made with ice cream and soda—two things the fast-food restaurant has. And that’s where this latest trend comes in—people are dunking ice cream cones in Coke.

The drink is called a black cow and it’s super popular in Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Columbia, where it’s called a vaca negra. It’s made by combining vanilla ice cream with Coca-Cola.

While you currently can’t order a float at McDonald’s in the U.S., they did experiment with a McFloat for a while. Until they add it back to their menu, you can make your own as it’s pretty easy to make. All you have to do is fill a cup half-full with Coke or any other soda you choose and put your ice cream cone inside. Swirl the cone until the soda becomes frothy. It really is that simple!

It’s not easy to enjoy ice cream with a peace of mind knowing that it’s loaded with sugar that will ruin your health and body. Not anymore! Sugar-free ice cream is the greatest hit this summer and many major companies are on board with the trend.

Sugar-free desserts are not for diabetes patients alone anymore. More and more people are becoming aware of all the negative effects sugar has on us, and we can safely say this is the era of “sugar-free” products, similar to the previous “fat-free” period.

While you can buy pre-made healthy ice creams in most stores, it might be an even better idea to make some yourself. The internet is flooding with recipes and all you need to do is decide on your favorite flavor, get some ingredients and start.

Japan is crazy about matcha. As the Nation that discovered it to the world, they even have specialized shops in Tokyo. And, there’s one store where you can choose an ice cream based on the intensity of green tea flavor.

Matcha is praised for its health benefits and great taste, but there are always those who want something just a little more extra. For them, a new trend has just appeared – the gold leaf matcha soft serve ice cream.

You can try it at Premium Matcha Stan Maiko in Yurakucho and it looks so amazing! They add a sheet of gold leaf around the ice cream for the unique effect. Instagram likes guaranteed!

The price of their regular ice cream, without the gold, is around $7, but with the gold leaf, the price goes to around $11. A few other flavors are available besides matcha.
