NEWCASTLE, Wash. — The Frosty Barrel is a delightful ice cream bar and café located in the neighborhood of Newcastle, well known for its creative, family-friendly experiences. Their unique holiday theme this year is — “The Gingerbread House” experience.
“Gingerbread mania is this crazy idea; we have to transform the inside of The Frosty Barrel into a life-sized gingerbread house,” said Shawn Sweeney, Founder of Frosty Barrel. “There's something here for everybody.”
The inside of The Frosty Barrel is complete with décor celebrating the holiday season — they even have a selfie wall with the gingerbread mania sign that is popular among social media influencers.
The vibe is pretty cool, but it is all about the sweets, with a special holiday menu where everything has a hint of gingerbread.
“Each one of our featured gingerbread mania plates is beautiful,” Sweeney said.
When it comes to hot chocolates, this is the right place to visit, with creative drinks like Ube Hot Chocolate, S'mores Hot Chocolate, White Butter Rum Hot Chocolate and more.
They also have a drink menu for the 21 plus crowd, with items like the Gingerbread S’mores martini, Amaretto Eggnog, and wine or beer flights paired with ice cream.
“This is not your typical ice cream shop,” said Sweeney said. “We call it family-friendly but adult-forward.”
At The Frosty Barrel, they take great pride in their visually stunning and delicious flights along with their food pairings.
Throughout the holidays, The Frosty Barrel will be hosting special events like gingerbread house-making.
Experience the Gingerbread House this holiday throughout January 5th.
