Inspired by a few comments from Ice Cream Journal readers, we’ve re-written the lyrics to “The 12 Days of Christmas” in a song we call The 12 Days of Ice Cream. Enjoy!

The ornament would like nice in my collection. I’ve never tasted egg nog ice cream but would love to try some.
You know what is better than 12 days of ice cream??? How about 31 days of ice cream…that is ice cream for the whole month of December leading up until the New Year. Now that is something truly worth celebrating, Why make it just about Christmas? Doesn’t that leave out Chanukah, Kwanza and other religious holidays? But its okay, because December has 31 days for everyone so how about
On the 31st day before the new ice cream year,

The Turkey Hill 12 Days is great, but send an extra carton to Meghan for her 31 days song.
By the way, I was finishing off the small bit of root beer duetto in the carton and added a small scoop of banana split to it. Bad idea. Don’t mix those two great flavors even though they are adjacent in the song.
cool, would also love to try the egg nog ice cream
I would love to win this ornament. It is so nice. It would look great on my tree and constantly remind me of my love for Turkey Hill ice cream throughout the holiday season and beyond. This is a great giveaway. Thanks.
Is there any Egg Nog ice cream left to give away? Our local grocery store had none in stock and said the warehouse had no more to give them.
You really ought to add the words Egg Nog before Turkey Hill ice cream in your lyrics.
TH Ice Cream & Christmas, WOW!
Very cute poem!
Makes me want to run out and get some turkey Hill ice cream right now. I tkink I will.
Certainly ‘tis the season for Egg Nog
Good song
Well, If I can’t win the grand prize, I guess I would settle for everything listed in the song as a consolation prize. That would cheer me up a little bit.
I don’t see any prize listed for today, but I would like to get an entry in today for that grand prize which I would enjoy so much.
my 94 year old grandma loves turkey hill black cherry ice cream sure she would love the ornament for her tree
The eggnog flavor is super-but I think rum raisin is yummy too. I’d love the ornament on my tree to remind everybody how great Turkey Hill is. The eggnog drink is also pretty spectacular too!
If more people try Turkey Hill ice cream, it might sooth the savage beast and we will all have “Peace on Earth”.
Yes! I want it all.
The ornament would be a great addition to my collection, and I would love to try the Egg Nog ice cream. Sounds good!
Eggnog ice cream sounds like my hubby would really like it.
I have that beautiful ornament on my tree! My wife gave it to me two Christmases ago.
wow wouldnt that be nice
I loved the lyrics! Kudos to the writer.
I do so want that ornament for my tree, it is beautiful!!!
That ornament would look great on our tree. The song is cool too!
Love the ornament and the song should be on I Tunes.
I read those lyrics as a challenge.
Two great tastes that taste great together.
which one do I love more: 12 days of ice cream or 31 days of ice cream…
this is a no brainer, 31 days of course, but the 12 days are cute too
cute ornament!
The only thing better than singing that song is to have all of that stuff under my tree for Christmas, better run for the freezer quick.
Wow, I think Megan S. deserves todays prize!! Good Job. Merry Christmas! Amy
Would love it for our tree!
interesting ornament
and once again here again
oh how sweet and good
a very neat song my grandsons were having fun singing with me,
I really like those ice cream New Year’s resolutions. I’ll start with breakfast – vanilla ice cream on my breakfast waffle.
