Edys Provides Lower Cal Alternatives To Holiday Favorites

Concerned about what the upcoming holiday season means for your diet and ultimately your waistline? Worry no more because Edy’s Slow Churned Ice Cream has done the math for you and offers great alternatives to traditional, high calorie holiday favorites that will still keep your taste buds jolly!

Edy’s Slow Churned is bringing back its Limited Edition Slow Churned® Light Ice Cream Holiday Flavors in Eggnog, Peppermint and Pumpkin Pie just in time for the holiday season. And new to the holiday line-up, Edy’s has added a brand new flavor, Slow Churned Hot Cocoa! With sweet and fluffy marshmallows swirled into a creamy chocolate light ice cream, this new flavor is sure to top your “nice” list.

All Slow Churned varieties contain half the fat and one-third fewer calories than regular ice cream, but packs the same amount of flavor, allowing you to satisfy those holiday cravings while getting a head start on that New Year’s resolution!

Rather than eating a slice of Pumpkin Pie which packs 316 calories and 14g of fat, opt for a serving of the delicious and flavorful Slow Churned Pumpkin Ice Cream which contains only 100 calories and 3g of fat. Or, curl up next to the fire with a serving of Slow Churned Hot Cocoa Ice Cream which has 280 fewer calories and 12 fewer grams of fat than a 16 oz. serving of traditional Hot Chocolate.

You can also use these fun holiday flavors to wow friends and family at all of your holiday gatherings. Try topping off some freshly baked Mini Churros with a scoop of Slow Churned Peppermint Ice Cream or make your own Mini Chocolate Ice Cream Cones and complete them with Slow Churned Eggnog Ice Cream.

These popular flavors are available now through January 2010 and for additional holiday dessert and snack ideas, simply visit www.icecream.com.
