Later this month, we’ll be kicking off our annual holiday celebration, the 12 Days of Ice Cream. To recap for some of our new readers, the 12 Days of Ice Cream features a new blog entry every day for 12 days leading up to Christmas. What makes it fun is that each blog entry will feature an ice cream related prize, which will be given away to one commenter chosen at random from that entry. So basically, you have a chance to win a fun prize every day!
This year, we thought long and hard about what sort of prizes to give away, and we settled on gifts chosen from the popular website, Etsy. For those not familiar, Etsy is a cool website that features handmade and homemade crafts and artwork. People can create anything they want, and open a “store” on Etsy to sell their creative handiwork.
This year’s ice cream prizes are truly fun and creative. They include everything from a handmade ice cream pillow to a hand-knitted cozy sleeve to put around your pint of Turkey Hill ice cream while you’re eating it!
The first 12 Days of Ice Cream entry will be posted on December 14 and will conclude on December 25. But before the celebration begins, we’ll be posting our four finalist recipes in this year’s Ultimate Holiday Recipe Contest. Look for those entries next week and a poll on Friday to vote for your favorite.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
I can’t wait to see the four finalist’s recipes. I enjoy each year trying all of them and my family reaps the rewards of Turkey Hill Ice Cream treats. Oh, and I also can’t wait for the 12 days of Ice Cream to begin !!!!!!!!!

I like the concept of 12 flavors of Turkey Hill, a flavor a day for 12 days! A simple way to make life a little sweeter.
Worth every calorie!
Have never heard about Etsy…will have to check it out.

HI EVERYBODY!!
12 Days of Ice Cream, how well I remember that song, on the first day of ice cream my true love gave to me, a single scoop of vanilla ice cream…
Leaving ice cream for Santa! now why didn’t I ever think of that?
Love the idea of twelve days of ice cream! Who wouldn’t? Thanks for this chance to win!
Great idea!
Great idea!

There were some cool prizes last year! Can’t wait!
I entered this contest last December, but did not win anything. Maybe I’ll be lucky this year.
Ho Ho Ho…Santa and Turkey Hill…can’t be beat!!
I loved this contest last year. Thanks to the sense of ‘community’ that Turkey Hill has, they are giving opportunities to many Crafters who use Etsy as their ‘community store’ for their hand-made and home-made crafts. Once again, Hurray for TH!
Turkey Hill always comes up with the best ideas! In ice cream & fun things to do!
There is always something fun to look forward to on this blog. Keep the good things coming Turkey Hill
!
All I can say is Merry Christmas Turkey Hill! You folks are great, I am always amazed at the stories and ideas that you come up with. Once again it looks like you have outdone yourself, I can’t wait for this contest to start.
the contest sounds like fun. we will be able to see what other people have come come up with for craft ideas.
Can’t wait!!!
Sounds good to me
What a coincidence! I just read an article about Etsy today in the Hemisphere magazine on my United Airlines flight from Texas. It sounds like a neat website and I’m planning to check it out. I had a nice Thanksgiving with my daughter & family in TX but sure missed my Turkey Hill while I was there.
We can’t wait!!! Bring it on.
I can hardly wait for the 12 days of Ice Cream to begin. Helps to make an exciting season even more exciting!
Also looking forward to the delicious recipes to be posted.
can’t wait
Let the celebration begin, mmmmmmmm

Hi Turkey Hill Fans, I hope I win some ice cream. That sound good to me. about the 12s days of christmas ice cream.

I love your blog and would really love to win an ice cream prize this year.
HELLO AGAIN! ME LIKE ICE CREAM!!
Great start for the Christmas season!
Prizes & Christmas – The Best.
Just say the word,ice cream,and I am soooooooooo there.
I love contests and ice cream. Leave it to TH to put these two things together! I can’t wait!
counting down the days till this starts
Ice cream gift certificates are a great idea but a bat execution! Charging or gauging customers to spread the word of your great icecream to the tune of double the price is just well not in the spirit of viral marketing. You should discount the price of a certificate to make it attractive and rewarding for folks to spread the word about your ice cream make the packets bigger say 20 certs to a booklet if handling costs of the sale are an issue!
i can;t wait i love ice cream!!!
I scream,you scream, we all scream for Turkey Hill ice cream!!!!!
Chocolate peanut butter is my fave. A cold night, a big bow of Turkey Hill and I’m in heaven.
My Dad taught me from an early age that ICE CREAM was the best stuff on earth. Now that he has left this earth, I am teaching my granddaughter THE SAME THING!!! My motto has always been:
WE’RE ONLY HERE TO EAT ICE CREAM!!!
yummy choc peanut butter
I LOVE ICE CREAM!!! Turkey Hill is the best. I would never buy anyother kind. There is a store in Quarryville Lancaster County that made corn ice cream this summer, I tried some as a sample and it was pretty good. It had corn (sweet) and corn muffin in it, so don’t disreguard sweet bacon ice cream until you give it a try!!
My whole family loves Turkey Hill ice cream. My favorite is cookies and cream. We also love Touchdown Syndae in honor of the Eagles. I would love to try a different flavor each day but my freezer isn’t big enough!
I grabbed some Tin Roof Sundae for a last minute party contribution. It was a hit.
German Chocolate Cake Ice Cream is a flavor you guys should make year round!!! It is so good.
Ah, Turkey Hill Black Cherry, how we love you. Large luscious pieces of black cherry embedded in cherry vanilla ice cream – delightful!
We love Turkey Hill ice cream. We like trying the new flavors. We expecially like the Butter Pecan and Peanut Butter Cup.
[...] you been over to the Turkey Hill Ice Cream Journal lately? Well, bookmark it today, because the annual 12 Days of Ice Cream is once again [...]
I can never find the seasonal and unusual flavors at my local supermarket. Bummer.
Ginger Snap is a new favorite at our house, wish it were available all year long!
YUM YUM!!!
I love your Ice Cream
Start yelling… tis the season for Ice Cream
Bacon and ice creammmmm! My arteries are hardening already!

Today is my fathers 3rd surgery this year for cancer and he still cannot get enough of your ice cream
Yippee Gingersnaps in ice cream!
wow, do you know how neat that sno-cone machine would be??? I love to just chomp on ice and it’s lo-cal!
I am a plain Jane with as my kids say white ice cream but oh the wonders of topping and sprinkles
I absolutely adore the moosetraks light ice cream! It allows me to enjoy my favorite treat without the guilt, especially around the holidays.
The more ice cream, the better!
Ice Cream is my favorite,diet downfall. I think I would stick to my diet if they had bacon flavored ice cream, yuck! I can’t wait to see who wins the recipe contest. I be it will be the chocolate peanut butter pie, yummm, yummm, yummm!
What could be Finner in the Carolina’s then to Finally have Turkey Hill Ice Cream make it to South Carolina, and to that the Local Bilo stores for Finally bringing it to Greenville. When we moved here no one new what Turkey Hill was but I proudly displayed my calendar and told people down here how good it was and how they have so many flavors to choose from, 12 days of Christmas and 12 days of Turkey Hill would make a southner proud.
this ice cream is Orgasmic!!!!!
I bet I buy at least 15 cartons of Turkey Hill for my 87 year old mother a month… she just loves it!!!
Our family used to eat some basic flavors of Turkey Hill ice cream when we lived in PA. After we moved to DE and our grandaughters became teenagers, the flavors we purchased increased significantlly due to their tastes and now WE LOVE THEM ALL! Thanks for giving us such a tasty variety.
thank you for the 12 days of christmas turkey hill
It can’t be a party without ice cream! I was so hesitant to try Turkey Hill but after I did, I was hooked! Wonderful!
