Celebrating National Ice Cream Month at McDonald’s

This post contains affiliate links.

I am a brand ambassador for Central Arkansas McDonalds. While I am being compensated for this post all thoughts and opinions are my own.

IceCreamMonth

July is National Ice Cream Month and is also one of the hottest months of the year. Coincidence? I think not! I don’t know about you, but I plan on celebrating ice cream a lot this month…HA!

Luckily for me (and you!) McDonald’s has a lot of different ice cream options for you to try and I can honestly say that I have tried them all and they are all equally amazing!! So whether you like your ice cream in a cone or in a cup or eaten with a spoon or straw, McDonald’s has you covered!

McDonald’s has four basic ice cream options to choose from and then several flavors for each. That’s a lot of ice cream to cover so let’s get to it!

Vanilla Cone. This is just your basic vanilla soft serve ice cream swirled up in a crispy cone. You can’t go wrong with this classic, however I find it a bit messy so plan accordingly. I always ask for extra napkins with my cone because I am a grade A klutz! HA!

Sundaes. Oh my word, I love a good sundae on a hot summer day!! McDonald’s sundaes come in three yummy flavors….Hot Fudge, Caramel and Strawberry. If you know me, and I think most of you do at this point, then you know Caramel is my JAM. But I have to say that Hot Fudge is a close second. Don’t forget to ask for nuts!!

McFlurries. Hello my favorite ice cream treat of 2016! I don’t know what it is about a McFlurry that makes me drool but I love these things! Right now McFlurries are available in two flavors, M&M and Oreo, but be on the lookout because McDonald’s likes to sneak a surprise flavor in every once in awhile…miss you Reese’s McFlurry of Summer 2015!!! And other areas of the country got Kit Kat McFlurries and over in Australia they got a Cadbury Egg McFlurry!! I would be so broke if Arkansas ever got a Cadbury Egg McFlurry. Just sayin’…

M&MMcFlurry

Shakes. Some days require you to be a little more hands free and this is where the ever so delicious McDonald’s shake comes in! There three shake flavors always on hand…vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, and one seasonal, shamrock. I don’t think we have gotten the Shamrock Shake in central Arkansas (which is a crying shame because those bad boys are delicious) but my fingers are always crossed for next year!!

So now that we have covered all of this sweet, cold, deliciousness I am ready for an M&M McFlurry ASAP…and what better place to get a sweet treat on this hot summer day than the completely remodeled  McDonald’s in North Little Rock on McCain?? Today is the GRAND OPENING and yesterday I got to go to a preview party!

I got to go “behind the scenes” and tour the back area and I even got to make my very own Carmel Frappe and see the McFlurry station!! Y’all know I was in heaven, right? HAHAHA!!

    McFlurries are the best. I love getting them whenever I stop at McDonald’s. I always opt for extra candy, too. I love my candies in my ice cream! ;)

    That looks so good just about now, it’s pretty hot out here in our neck of the woods. I might hit up McDo pretty soon.
