Treat Yourself to some of our 2020 Family Favorites! 

We checked in with some of 2020 Family Favorites winners to see if they had any weekend-worthy updates to share. Spoiler: they did. 

Try January Flavors and 2021 Macaroons at Loblolly 

Some good things came out of 2020, like Loblolly’s Dairy-Free Pistachio Bark ice cream. They are bringing the flavor back this month and families can stop by the shop to pick up your scoop (or pint) this weekend. While you’re there, you might as well taste test their new macaron flavors: flavor-winner Chai Cookie Butter along with Peanut Butter Cup and Pistachio. Learn more here.
