Food company Blue Bell Creameries has launched its seasonal fan-favorite Christmas Cookies Ice Cream for the holidays. The flavor returned to stores late last week, featuring a blend of holiday cookie classics like chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and sugar cookies.
These cookies are combined with sugar cookie-flavored ice cream, red sprinkles, and a festive green icing swirl, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
Blue Bell announced that the flavor would be available in stores only in half-gallon sizes as long as supplies last. As per Chron, in previous years, some had still found it on shelves till late January. The news of the Christmas Cookies was shared on the company’s Instagram page where it wrote,
“Your favorite flavor is home for the holidays! Christmas Cookies Ice Cream is now in stores. The flavor combines your favorite holiday cookies – chocolate chip, snickerdoodle and sugar –in a tasty sugar cookie ice cream with red sprinkles and a green icing swirl throughout. Available in the half gallon size while supplies last.”
This year, Blue Bell's Christmas Cookies flavor had been highly anticipated. Social media users reportedly searched store shelves in October 2024, worried it might not be re-released. After Blue Bell’s announcement, fans responded enthusiastically, calling it the best flavor they could enjoy year-round.
The Christmas Cookies Ice Cream capped off a year of notable flavor releases from Blue Bell, which included popular dessert-inspired flavors like Peaches and Homemade Vanilla, Chocolate Brownie Truffle, and Oatmeal Cream Pie. The company also released its Peppermint and Peppermint Bark in stores mid-October.
Blue Bell’s Christmas Cookies Ice Cream has a spice flavour too
An old review of the ice cream by the YouTube channel Must Or Bust mentioned that the green color of the ice cream looked appealing and detected a strong sugar cookie scent.
The YouTuber noted hints of Snickerdoodle due to a subtle spice flavor, while the overall taste leaned heavily towards sugar cookies. Although the green icing swirl wasn't intended to add flavor, he mentioned picking up a touch of chocolate chip. He said,
“It has a nice cookie flavour going on, sugar cookies, snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, all the above happening there with a nice red sprinkles. I don’t…they are quite crunchy so that’s cool, it’s just like a regular sprinkle and then you got that icing here that green icing just whipped throughout it’s so cool. Well, you could probably stir up all of these ice cream like when it gets a little softer and then it would all turn green.”
He went on to say that, despite expectations, the ice cream wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. Instead, the sweetness was balanced, enhancing the flavor without overpowering it, providing just the right harmony for the ice cream.

Blue Bell fans were delighted by the announcement, with many expressing excitement. One mentioned being thrilled for the seasonal return, while another said they would buy ten if possible, calling it their all-time favorite Blue Bell flavor.
Several fans planned to stock up for the year, but some acknowledged it might not last long at home. One humorously noted that in their household, this ice cream wouldn’t last more than three days.
