Every New Year’s Eve the Hollis family celebrates the same way. We countdown to midnight with our boys… in our jammies… and we do it on New York time! Just imagine that West Coast parents… your kids get all the fun of celebrating the holiday and everyone is still in bed by 9:30PM!
Now just because we’re partying at home (or with small people) doesn’t mean we take our party less seriously. No way, we fill the hours before the ball drops with all sorts of fun games and party decor and yummy treats that everyone will love! This year we’re teaming up with Dreyer’s to turn their Slow Churned® Vanilla light ice cream into our very own ice cream bar. “Dreyer’s is the name my family has come to know but you may know the brand as Edy’s if you are located east of the Rockies. My kids are going to freak out when they see all these vanilla ice cream mix ins and so will yours! Consider these recipes or put out a bunch of fun toppings and let your guests make their own creations.
Start with a base of Slow Churned® Vanilla light ice cream and let your guests top and mix in their favorites.
Blueberries and crumbled up pie crust are out of this world!
Or pick your favorite flavor of popcorn and go to town.
I’ll be totally honest, when we shot these at Chic HQ I might have eaten this one all by myself.
The cinnamon sugar cookie seems simple but everyone in the office agreed it was the best of the bunch.
And because my love affair with bananas is unending, Caramel Banana Rum Pecan!
