An ice cream maker is a great holiday gift. Yes, it’s freezing outside. But, you’re inside. You’re cozy by the fire where it’s downright toasty. Take that eggnog.

Toss a scoop in a frosty glass of Imperial Stout by Boulevard Brewing Company. A eggnog beer float—tis’ the season. Fa la la la la la la la la! Because the KI-15 is self-refrigerated, you needn't freeze the bowl 24 hours. That means you can enjoy fresh, customized ice cream each of Christmas's 12 days. We at G@H thank Sunpentown for providing the sample SPT KI-15 Self-Refrigerated Ice Cream Maker.
