Are you looking for a fun way to treat your family to something special this holiday season? I have just the idea! How about putting together a winter-themed frozen treat  buffet? This sweet spread is made extra memorable with Breyers®, festive toppings and whimsical decorations. The best part is that everyone gets to create their own magical treat. This post is sponsored by Breyers®, all opinions are my own.

With these three elements, you can put together a unique dessert table that will make everyone smile. The best part is it's easier to plan than you think. It all starts with the magic of delicious Breyers® flavors. Their brand has been making frozen treats for well over 100 years and is still made with the same promise of the best ingredients.

When it comes to creating a frozen dessert buffet, their flavor options are absolutely perfect. They have so many to choose from. To make my sweets table perfect, I hand-picked my flavors to match the whimsical holiday vibe.

Here are my picks for this festive spread:

  • Breyers® CINNABON® - Nothing says holiday more than the scent of cinnamon rolls especially if they are from Cinnabon. I knew that I had to serve up this flavor. This became an instant hit for my family, and my favorite part? The delicious dough bites!
  • Breyers® New York Style Cheesecake - The flavors of this classic dessert are brought to life in this frozen dessert. The  graham-covered cheesecake pieces and sweet creamy cheesecake flavor won me over.
  • Breyers® Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate - Flavors of cocoa and peppermint come together perfectly for a limited edition festive treat. Seasonal flavors are a must!
