Holiday Treats: Quintin’s Ice Cream Gift Ideas

Spread joy this season with naturally delicious gifts from New Orleans’ favorite creamery

When the holiday season rolls around, the best gifts aren’t always wrapped in bows—they’re scooped in pints. At Quintin’s Natural Premium Ice Cream & Sorbet, we believe the most memorable presents are the ones you can eat, share, and savor together.

Whether you’re shopping for the foodie in your life, planning a festive gathering, or looking for a host gift that’s a little unexpected, our ice cream and sorbet offer a sweet way to celebrate.

Here’s your guide to delicious holiday gifting, the Quintin’s way.

🎁 1. Build-a-Pint Box

Give the gift of variety with a hand-picked box of pints! Choose 4–6 flavors that match your recipient’s taste (or mix it up for a little surprise). We suggest combining classics with seasonal specialties for a well-rounded collection.

Gift-Worthy Flavor Picks:

• Vanilla Bean – smooth and universally loved

• Creole Cream Cheese – uniquely New Orleans

• Double Chocolate – for the indulgent dessert lover

• Candied Sweet Potato (seasonal) – warm, cozy, and holiday-perfect

• King Cake (coming soon during Carnival season) – a fun peek at what’s ahead

• Southern Strawberry Sorbet – a bright, dairy-free option

Wrap the box in tissue and add a handwritten “scoop card” with suggested pairings or dessert ideas!

🍨 2. Screamer Stocking Stuffers

Small, portable, and full of flavor—Screamers make the perfect stocking stuffers or party favors. These hand-held soft-serve-style pouches come in rotating flavors and are great for both kids and grown-ups.

Tuck a few into holiday stockings, gift baskets, or coolers for the ice cream lover who’s always on the go.

❄️ 3. Host Gifts with a Twist

Forget the bottle of wine—show up to your next holiday party with a frozen treat! A pint of Salted Caramel or Roasted Strawberry Creole Cream Cheese paired with a bag of cookies or a jar of hot fudge sauce makes a thoughtful, unique host gift.

Want to elevate it even more? Assemble a “DIY Sundae Kit” with toppings, cones, and a Quintin’s pint or two.

✨ 4. Holiday Dessert Centerpiece

For your own celebrations, wow your guests with an ice cream-focused dessert bar or frozen treat board featuring:

• Scoops of Quintin’s in festive flavors

• Mini waffles or cookies for DIY sandwiches

• Hot caramel and chocolate sauce

• Crushed candy canes, cinnamon sugar, pecans, and more

Add edible glitter, gingerbread accents, and holiday décor for that Instagram-worthy touch.

🎉 5. Gift Cards & Local Pick-Up

Not sure which flavor to choose? Let them pick with a Quintin’s gift card (available in select stores and by request). Perfect for locals, foodies, and fans who want to treat themselves whenever the craving strikes.

🎄 Holiday Delivery Tip:

If you're gifting pints locally, keep them cold with a reusable cooler bag, dry ice pack, or insulated box. It's thoughtful and practical—and keeps the ice cream at its creamy best until it’s ready to be unwrapped (and devoured).

❤️ Give the Gift of Flavor and Tradition

Each scoop of Quintin’s is made with care right here in New Orleans—using only natural ingredients, real fruit, and no artificial flavors or colors. Giving Quintin’s isn’t just a treat—it’s a taste of tradition, community, and celebration.

Skip the ordinary gifts this year and go for something delicious, unexpected, and deeply joyful. Whether you’re scooping, squeezing, or gifting by the pint, Quintin’s Natural Premium Ice Cream & Sorbet is here to make your holidays sweeter.
