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!

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.

Gloria wrote:

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.


Kristen Hendricks wrote:

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.


Dan wrote:

cool, would also love to try the egg nog ice cream


Beth Katz wrote:

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.


Meghan Scannell wrote:

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

I’m glad that Turkey Hill openly celebrates the Christmas season.Many companies do not like to mention Christmas.They will say,”Happy Holidays”,instead.Christmas means a great deal to millions of Americans.The Christmas season honors the birth of our Lord.Corporations should not fear wishing their customers a Merry Christmas.

The ornament would be a great addition to our tree… it’s done in ornaments that our kid’s made or that we have collected from out vacations or family has given us. it’s like a mmemory tree that I wish I could keep up all year.

Wow! that is a lot of ice cream, but since it is Turkey Hill we would give it a try. Then we’d need a few extra miles on the treadmill. Or not, since we’ve been shoveling snow like crazy people! 8-) To all who got snow, have fun and be safe. Ho! Ho!! Ho!!!


Denise wrote:

That’s a lot of icecream (add toppings) :)


Tianna wrote:

Whoops
It should be
4 ice cream wrestlers
3 ice cream puzzles

Lol I’m suffering from a brain freeze, after shovelling all that snow.


Lucy T wrote:

Oh boy! I’m full just thinking about all that ice cream. But I still have room for the banana split ice cream

my my, that song is so filling-will have to take it a day at a time-thanks for the calendar


Bob Kessler Jr wrote:

Congratulations to whoever came up with these new words to an old song. You should add the newly worded song to your 2010 calendar. The ornament would be a great addition to anyone’s tree. And a bowl of Turkey Hill Egg Nog ice cream would top off a great Christmas day meal.


Jeanne Lizzi wrote:

One could get fat on your song, but I love it!

I know I’d rather be eating the ice cream than singing….. but I too would never be able to eat it all at one sitting. Love that ice cream, Merry Christmas to all.


Paula J wrote:

There is no way I could eat my way through all those 12 days of ice cream. I would give it the old collage try and buy another freezer to store up the rest!

Nice Ornament.MERRY CHRISTMAS!


Peg Cramer wrote:

I was sooooo tempted to buy your bottled egg nog at the grocery store today, but 64 ounces is too dangerous to have around just for me. Howzabout offering it in pints next year? (Or, maybe I need to find more eggnoggy friends.)


Erin wrote:

That’s a cute song!


Paula wrote:

The recipes are a lot of work. I like simply putting combinations together. The combination of mincemeat pie with a scoop of Turkey Hill eggnog ice cream will make it impossible to resist a second helping. Try it, you will like it.

What combinations do you put together?

Your ornament is really nice. I would be proud to add it to my collection !

What a pretty ornament! I love your egg nog ice cream this time of year.
I serve it in festive dessert dishes, and showcase it in our punch bowl, with egg nog on Christmas Eve. That’s a tradition that I inherited from my Mom (smile).
Thank you for this contest fun! Ho…Ho…Ho…

I HATE that song! I’m a piano teacher and have banned almost every student from ever learning it. Imagine starting to teach holiday songs right after Halloween to 20 – 30 youngsters who require corrections in notes and rhythm, fingering and the constant question: Where does it go NEXT? It’s enough to give anyone a bad case of the Bah Humbugs! Soothe my soul with a bowl of Turkey Hill EggNog!
