These kid-friendly holiday milkshakes are so fun! We love making them on Christmas morning along with these cute Christmas Waffles for a fun morning treat, but they’re also perfect for Christmas parties. They’re thick, creamy, and addictive that you’ll drink them until the very last drop!
Why You Will Love These Milkshakes
Unique! Forget about plain milkshakes, and make these festive milkshakes instead. Fun. The kids are going to LOVE these milkshakes and will keep asking you to make them during the festive season. Change up the colors for fun themes, i.e blue and white milkshake for a frozen-themed treat! Simple. You only need a few simple ingredients to make this, a blender, and 5-10 minutes of your time. It’s so easy! Next, try making a copycat Wendy’s Frosty!
Key Ingredients
You only need 2 simple ingredients to make a milkshake, but we’re also decorating the rims of the glasses to make them pretty and festive! Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Ice Cream: You can either use vanilla ice cream, or light green ice cream (we love the Christmas Cookies flavor by Blue Bell Ice Cream). Make sure that the ice cream you’re using is 100% made of dairy. Milk: You can either use whole milk, or 2% milk. If you want a creamier milkshake, heavy whipping cream can be used. Icing: To rim the glasses, use store-bought canned icing/frosting. Sprinkles: Any holiday sprinkles would be cute! Food Coloring: Use gel food coloring for the best bright colors.
How To Make Christmas Ice Cream Milkshakes
Recipe Tips
Allow the ice cream to sit on your counter for 5 minutes before scooping it into the blender. This will soften the ice cream and make it more scoopable. When buying ice cream, make sure that it’s 100% made of dairy. There are many frozen treats that are made with vegetable oils and you want to avoid them. Place your glasses in the freezer 15 minutes before making the milkshakes, this will help the milkshakes stay cold for longer. Do not add ice cubes to your milkshake, they will melt and your milkshake will become too watery. For the grown-ups, try mixing up a batch of homemade spiked eggnog this holiday!
I hope that you enjoy making and serving these cute Christmas Milkshakes! I’m wishing you a wonderful holiday season, and I hope you get to make all the fun treats that you want! © Little Sunny Kitchen
