Ingredients
For the Milkshake:
4 cups vanilla ice cream
1/3 cup milk
4–6 drops green gel food coloring (optional)
For the Festive Rim & Topping:
2–3 tablespoons canned vanilla or cream cheese frosting (red or green)
2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles (for rim)
Freshly whipped cream (for topping)
Extra sprinkles (for garnish)
Instructions
Prep the Glasses:
Add a spoonful of frosting to a shallow plate.
Dip the rim of each chilled glass into the frosting, coating about 1/4-inch around.
Press the frosted rim into holiday sprinkles.
Place glasses upright on a tray and freeze while preparing milkshake.
Blend the Milkshake:
Let ice cream soften slightly at room temperature (about 5 minutes).
Add ice cream, milk, and food coloring to a blender.
Blend on low for 20–30 seconds, just until smooth and thick.
Add more milk (1 tsp at a time) if too thick.
Add more ice cream if too thin.
Serve & Sparkle:
Pour into prepared glasses, leaving space for toppings.
Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra holiday confetti.
Add a festive straw and serve immediately!
Notes
Use red food coloring for a peppermint twist or swirl both for a candy cane effect.
Swap vanilla ice cream with peppermint or eggnog flavor for holiday variety.
For dairy-free: Use non-dairy ice cream, milk, and coconut whipped cream.
