Eat'n Park, Millie's Roll Out Holiday Ice Cream Flavor

PITTSBURGH, PA — For more than 40 years, the Eat'n Park holiday commercial featuring a helpful tree lifting a little star has captivated the Pittsburgh region. Now it has inspired an ice cream flavor whose sales will benefit a charitable cause.

Eat'n Park and Millie's Homemade Ice Cream have teamed to create Christmas Star Ice Cream, which features vanilla-peppermint ice cream loaded with Eat’n Park smiley cookie pieces and yellow sprinkles that honor the glow of the star atop the tree.

Proceeds from Christmas Star Ice Cream pint sales will benefit Eat’n Park’s annual Caring for Kids campaign, which has raised more than $12 million to date for local children’s hospitals.

Pints of the limited-edition flavor are already rolling out at select Pittsburgh-area Giant Eagles, and pints and scoops will be launching at all Pittsburgh Millie's locations on Saturday. To purchase a pint, visit Millie’s website for a full list of participating locations.
