This Limited-Edition Thanksgiving Ice Cream Is Turning Heads

A Festive Thanksgiving Ice Cream Flavor Hits the Market

Two iconic brands have joined forces to bring a taste of the holidays to freezers nationwide. Martinelli’s — best known for its sparkling apple cider — has partnered with the celebrated McConnell’s Ice Cream to release a limited-edition Thanksgiving flavor: apple cider and cranberry jam ice cream.

A Blend of Classic Holiday Flavors

This seasonal treat combines two beloved Thanksgiving staples in a fresh, indulgent way. McConnell’s signature smooth, creamy base is infused with Martinelli’s sparkling apple cider, delivering crisp, bright notes of apple. Ribbons of cranberry jam swirl throughout, adding tartness and depth — a perfect balance of festive flavors made for holiday gatherings or cozy nights in.

While pumpkin and peppermint often dominate this time of year, the apple-cranberry combination gives dessert lovers something new to celebrate. The flavor is designed to taste like the best parts of Thanksgiving in one spoonful: sweet, seasonal, and unmistakably nostalgic.

Limited-Time Availability

The specialty ice cream is available for a limited time and can be found at select retailers across various regions, as well as through McConnell’s own distribution channels. Fans of either brand — or anyone looking to elevate their holiday dessert table — may want to grab a pint before the seasonal supply melts away. Each pint retails for $12, making it an accessible premium treat during the holiday season.

As Americans gear up for Thanksgiving, this festive collaboration offers a playful twist on classic flavors. Whether enjoyed after a big holiday meal or scooped into a warm dessert, the apple cider and cranberry jam ice cream provides a new way to savor the season — and celebrate the creativity of two beloved American brands.
