Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has launched its annual Splendid Holiday Collection, introducing six limited-time flavours inspired by seasonal desserts, confectionery and celebratory drinks.

Leading the 2026 collection is new Sticky Toffee Pudding, a dessert-inspired ice cream combining vanilla and date molasses custard with brown sugar cake and buttery toffee sauce. The flavour joins five returning seasonal varieties, bringing a mix of European-inspired desserts and traditional holiday favourites to the brand’s portfolio.

The collection is available through the company’s online shop and Jeni’s scoop shops across the US, while two additional seasonal products extend the range into the packaged ice cream novelty category.

The Splendid Holiday Collection brings together familiar festive flavour profiles with dessert-inspired combinations, offering consumers a range of seasonal options in the run-up to the holiday period.

The six-flavour line-up comprises:

Sticky Toffee Pudding: The new addition combines vanilla and date molasses custard with brown sugar cake and buttery toffee sauce, drawing inspiration from the traditional British dessert.
White Chocolate Peppermint: A pink and white peppermint ice cream with white chocolate pieces, inspired by founder Jeni Britton’s grandmother’s cookies.
Pistachio Macaron: Roasted pistachio cream with a savoury finish and honey-like texture, referencing the classic French confection.
Boozy Eggnog: A velvety egg custard flavoured with nutmeg and whiskey, available exclusively in pint format.
Cranberry Panettone with Chocolate Sprinkles: Brioche-inspired custard featuring cranberry-orange jam and chocolate sprinkles, taking inspiration from the Italian festive bread.
Black Tie Tiramisu: A combination of mocha and mascarpone ice creams with ladyfinger cookies and chocolate drizzle.

The collection brings together established seasonal favourites and a new flavour designed to evoke the richness and familiarity of traditional holiday desserts.

Alongside the six-flavour collection, Jeni’s is introducing its first-ever holiday ice cream sandwich and ice cream bar, extending its seasonal offering beyond traditional pints.

The Buttercream Sugar Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich combines buttercream frosting ice cream with vanilla sugar cookies and rainbow sprinkles. The product is designed to recreate the experience of a sugar cookie filled with an indulgent layer of buttercream icing.

The Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownie J-Bar offers a contrasting flavour profile, combining dark chocolate and cayenne ice cream with Mexican vanilla-cinnamon ice cream and chewy brownie pieces. The product draws inspiration from one of the first ice cream flavours created by Britton.

Both novelties are available through major US retailers, including Kroger and Whole Foods Market. The Buttercream Sugar Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich is also being stocked by Target and Harris Teeter, and is available at Costco stores in the southeastern US.

Founded in 2002 by James Beard Award-winning ice cream maker Jeni Britton, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams operates more than 90 scoop shops across the US and distributes its products through grocery retailers nationwide.
