When it comes to flavoring, peppermint is the default inspiration for cold desserts, however, Halo Top is defying this with its gingerbread ice cream offering. Dubbed 'Gingerbread House,' the festive option is made available across Metro Ontario, Whole Foods Market Ontario and British Columbia, as well as Choices Markets. Like all holiday-inspired products, consumers can shop the gingerbread ice cream for a limited time.
The packaging of Gingerbread House is true to Halo Top's branding aesthetic -- one that is minimalist, colorful and informational. The pint reveals that the seasonal flavor jas 150 calories and 12 grams of sugar per 188 mL. In addition, the pint is said to have 18 grams of protein. This allows for consumers to better control what they put in their bodies during the holiday season.
