Creamery, a chain of south Chicagoland ice cream shops, is hosting some seriously sweet Igloo Experiences sure to sweeten your holidays.Â
Families can cozy up in their own private igloo and enjoy a sweet catered experience. Choose between a rich and delicious hot chocolate bar or indulge in a festive ice cream sundae bar.Â

Hot chocolate bar
Pour a cup of chocolatey goodness from the cocoa carafe. Customize your cup with gourmet toppings, like sea salt truffles, peppermint pieces, sprinkles, mini marshmallows and more!Â
Each hot chocolate bar comes with six jumbo chocolate chip cookies to enjoy with your cocoa. At the end of the 45-minute experience, your family will take home two pints of their favorite Creamery ice cream flavors (and any leftover toppings so you can make your own DIY sundae bar at home!)
Sundae barÂ
Start by choosing two quarts of your favorite Creamery ice cream flavors. Enjoy your treat in a waffle cone, or use a sundae cup so you can load up on the gourmet toppings.Â
If the gourmet sundae bar toppings weren’t enough, each sundae bar comes with six jumbo chocolate chip cookies. Enjoy them along with your sundae, or get creative and add chunks of cookie to your sundae. Better yet, why not use that jumbo cookie as a sundae spoon?Â
Each sundae bar experience includes an insulated bag so you can take home the leftovers — and an extra two pints of Creamery ice cream — and serve up a second sundae bar at home.Â
