The severity of Ottawa's winters is no secret. But it's never too cold in the capital to enjoy everyone's favourite frozen treat. And we've got the scoop on some delicious festive flavours coming soon to the capital. If you’re looking for holiday ice cream, Ottawa has you covered. The Merry Dairy in Ottawa is rolling out its holiday lineup starting this week, and honestly, our mouths are already watering. With nine flavours expected to be here by the weekend, it's going to be nearly impossible to decide which one to try first. Do you go traditional with peppermint crackle, or switch it up with some enticing frozen rum and eggnog ice cream? Other flavours coming soon include gingerbread, fresh ginger with candied ginger, white chocolate with raspberry and chocolate truffle, vegan peppermint crackle, vegan sugar plump fairy, cranberry orange sorbet, and frozen hot cocoa. Yum! But the deliciousness doesn't stop there. To please your taste buds even further, why not grab a scoop or two in an amazing blue corn tortilla or red velvet cone? So, what are you waiting for? It's time to indulge yourself with festive ice cream flavours to turn this holiday into a holi-yay!
