Hey, I just wanted to create a discussion on these flavors. For some reason my gf and I always disagree with Ice cream informant reviews (and we have different tastes from each other too).
I tried the Christmas Cookies and I thought it was awful, it tasted exactly like Italian Creme cake. Way too sweet and little flavor (both were rated A's here).
I tried the Spiced Pumpkin Pecan and didn't like it. In general, pecan pralines & cream is usually my favorite ice cream, but I didn't like this flavor. I didn't like blue bells' pecan pralines & cream either though (lacked flavor? im not sure, ive tried it multiple times and just don't like it).
The peppermint though, was one of my favorite flavors I've tried yet (I'd say pistachio almond, cherry vanilla, and southern blackberry have been my favorites so far. I've really disliked the cheesecake flavors/red velvet, christmas cookies/creme cake, krazy cookie dough, and black walnut (ew). Her's have been strawberry (not straw&vanilla), red velvet (I personally dont like this), and sbb.).
I was wondering if I should try the fudge divinity or not. It definitely doesn't sound as awesome as gingerbread house. I try to buy every flavor, except the ones that I'd clearly hate (ie cheesecakes).

Sorry man, but I have to disagree. Christmas Cookies and Spiced Pumpkin Pecan were loaded with tasty flavors in my mouth. In contrast, while Peppermint is fine, it lacked any mix-ins or anything else to make it special, just ordinary. Sounds like we agree on Gingerbread House, though. Wish they'd have brought that back for this Holiday season.

I like the Mango flavor best. Interesting you say that. I've seen Blue Bell Mango a handful of times around here, but can't make myself invest in an entire half gallon of it. I wish they offered Mango in pints.

I actually prefer less mixins, i feel it detracts from enjoying the purity and quality of the ice cream itself. It was only bb's awesome flavors that made me stop buying only vanilla bean. That said, the mix ins with blue bell are always awesome (though id prefer a pistachio no almond).
Like the pieces in bb cobbler, pretty awesome. The mixins in spp taste great, I just dislike the flavor itself. The christmas cookie & italian creme cake are awful though, its bland flavor, wayyy too sweet, and the mixins are terrible (just really bland cookie pieces).
Ill try mango when i see it, that sounds awesome!
