i remember those and i loved those. i am pretty sure you can still get them here in indiana around the holidays.

Hell yes!! I remember those. I think they were some kind of vanilla or creme flavor or something. there were also white ones just like them, and I think I remember getting them in school as a treat, not at home!!

Yes. I remember these from the 70s. I live in CT and would love to get some for these holidays. Anyone have a maker or any other information. They were vanilla flavor.

I loved these. They were mintyvanilla flavored.

I grew up in Minnesota and when I go back there for the holidays, I have found these on occasion. They are made by Kemps. Yum!

We got these on the last day before Christmas break at school. The only day we didn't get scolded for eating dessert first!

YES! I love those and search high and low for them every year! ABout 2 yrs ago Super Walmart had them and so did Kroger. Now I can't find them anywhere. When I do find them, I swear I am buying them ALL and putting them in the deep freezer. lol

yep, I grew up in Oregon and they were part of our Christmas goodies. They were so cool looking, and yummy. I've looked for them for years, to no avail.

I remember these, too! I grew up in San Diego, and my grandma would buy them for us every year. They also made these little gingerbread man ice cream sandwiches that were delicious!!!!

Yum, I remember those gingerbread man ice cream sandwiches, too. They WERE delicious. They also had a sugar cookie version - Christmas bears or something, I think. The size was perfect, just enough for a little treat.

Please someone tell me where in Michigan i can get these

Kemps Frosty Trees!!!! Such a wonderful creation!!! i hope to find them in TX

Kemp's Ice Cream makes these

I love the gingerbread ice cream sandwiches! They WERE to die for... now i cant find them anywhere! I would have them every year until about 3 years ago when they stopped selling them :(

Yes they were minty vanilla flavor and they also had the snowmen who were vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Kroger sold both of them last year but they do not have them this year nor does Walmart in the Atlanta area.

I have been looking for these all over Chicago. I loved those minty trees and gingerbread ice cream sandwiches!

I have been searching all over St. Louis for the gingerbread man ice cream sandwiches. I bought them last year and loved them and they were only 90 calories. I also called a local distributor and confirmed that it is Kemps. Here is a link to Frosty Trees http://www.kemps.com/products/prodListing.aspx?pnm=6&plc=20&pcc=52

OMG! We bought the mint ones and weren't sure if they were the right ones. We called our moms to see if they remembered where they bought them back in the day...they had no clue! Now thanks to yall we have finally found our favorite holiday treat! There's about to be a blast from the past in our apartment! YAY!

I remember Vanilla Ice Cream with a green Christmas Tree down the center. You would slice the Half Gal. and everyone got a tree. I would always eat the vanilla first, leaving just the green tree. I have been lookind all around here (PA) for it but have not been successful. My hunch is that so many companies have changed the shape of their containers that they can't do it that way now. Pity

I was looking for the frosty trees and couldn't believe other people were too! these things were so yummy! Does anyone know about the gingerbread man ice cream treats that were out at the same time as the trees? I hit the Kemps link I found here and they weren't listed. There were also a Santa shaped ice cream treat too. Any other info out there? Thanks!

thanks,all! Ive been obsessing on these for years!

I am so glad I found this site! I haven't seen those little green trees since the late 1960's in southern Lancaster County, PA! No one ever believed me about them and I thought I'd never find out any info about them!

we had them here in Atlanta back in the 70's, I remember them like it was yesterday.

I love them!!!!!! I look for them all the time!!!

Just bought a box of this dean's christmas tree ice cream bars yesterday! They are still being made today. Picked up a box at Meijer.

I bought a box of Dean's Christmas tree ice cream bars today at Walmart in Michigan (mint flavored). I still can't find the gingerbread sandwiches. Please help!

I love the ginerbread ice cream sandiwches. I was in Price Chopper in new Hampshire last weekend and bout a box. I can't find them in CT.

I called price Chopper and they are made by speciailty desserts. I can not find a phone number anywhere. When I google it...they come up but no contact info. This weekend I will look at the box and post more info. BTW they also make the snowman and mint trees. They are sold in a green box.

Anyone have any more info about the gingerbread ice cream sandwiches? I'm looking for them all over the DC area!

Just ate a green christmas tree! They had them at kroger. Also had a snowman head made of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry icecream!

Two years ago at Kroger they had the Santa Bear (sugar cookie and vanilla ice cream) Ice Cream Sandwiches. I have been looking for them ever since. I must look like a sad little puppy trolling the ice cream isles each year in the hopes of one day spotting them again!

i use to get the gingerbread men and the bear shaped ice cream sandwiches at price chopper when i lived back east... they are called Chilly-bears. I'm pretty positive... but when i good that i only get the nutrition facts... so i know they are real lmao. but i cant remember what the ginger bread men were called. now i live in arizona and i am calling around to see where i can find them.

I have been looking for those Christmas bear ice cream sandwiches for several years now...I wish I knew the company who made them so I could contact them. my family loved them and grown and trying to find them too! I can find the trees and santas.but I want the bear sugar cookie ones! Meijer used to carry them! I'd appreciate any help in locating who makes them/ or where to buy them..Indiana

Yes!! The Gingerbread Men Ice Cream Sandwiches were amazing! A childhood favorite:)growing up in Michigan. I was able to find them a few years ago in NJ at Kings and now can not find them! I look everytime I go:( If anyone knows where to get them, I would love to know!!

Yes! I used to get them every year at christmas, I thought I was insane because nobody else had them! The grocery store I went to also had red and white Santa Claus shaped ice cream that was about the same flavor. I'd say that's probably one of the most nostalgic things from my childhood.

I remember those. I bought them in the 70"s for my children. There were trees and snowmen and i think santa's too. Where are they now????? I am in AZ but will order them from anywhere. I'd love them for my grandchildren.

I have been looking everywhere for the gingerbread sandwiches and the cookie flavored bears. Where can I get them. PLease Help!!!!

I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF SPECIALTY DESSERTS TODAY. HE BOUGHT THE PRODUCTS OF GINGERBREAD MEN, JOLLY SANTA AND CHILLY BEARS IN 2005. STARTING IN THE SPRING 2010 IF THERE ISN'T A DISTRIBUTOR IN YOUR AREA specialty-desserts.com WILL BE SELLING AND SHIPPING ON DRY ICE. IF YOU ARE IN THE MIDWEST, PIERRES FRENCH ICE CREAM OF CLEVELAND IS THE DISTRIBUTOR IN THAT AREA.

Today is my birthday and I would really like a Christmas tree ice cream. I live in SC but we do not have a Kroger. Called my Dad in NMB to go to their Kroger and look for me. None in Charleston to be found. :(

I live in the south now and I can not find them anywhere. There used to be green mint trees, and snowman and santas that were more of a neapolitan ice cream. We also do not have soft serve chocolate ice cream in the south. I have no idea why since Wendy's sell chocolate frostys all over the country. We have dairy queen but not chocolate ice cream. If you ask someone that grew up in the south they think you are nuts when you ask about the ice cream trees or chocolate soft serve ice cream!!

I have a box of the Kemp Frosty Trees in my freezer. Bought them a couple of weeks ago in IL. Didn't see any gingerbread ones though.

Wow! I was just recalling how when I was a little girl in the '60s in N.J., we were on the way home from the grocery store and Mom had bought these tree ice cream bars..she wanted to give me and my sister one but I had a bad sore throat and was crying, couldn't eat it due to feeling bad. Never forgot this as it was the ONLY time we ever got those! I WANT MY TREE!!!!! :) Lana AZ

My brother lives around Atlantic City, NJ and just bought Gingerbread Men and Chilly Bears at ACME grocery store. He said they also have Santa faces, Snowmen, Mint Trees, and Coconut Balls. Of course, this doesn't help me in Alabama! :-)

Yes. I grew up in Michigan. These were seasonal ice creams. The Christmas Trees were mint-flavored. The sugar cookie bears had cookies 'n' cream ice cream I think. I also remember the Santa Claus faces and my favorite: the gingerbread man sandwiches. I don't know if they are still available, but if so, I'd check stores around the holidays, as that's when they used to be sold.

Yes, I remember the green Christmas tree ice cream with the colorful round ball sprinkles I also remember the snow ball ones, it looked like a snow ball and it was covered in coconut. I was very young...maybe around 3 or 4 years old.It was in the late 70's in Houston Texas. That was the last time I ever had one. I thought it was just a part of my childhood imagination but now that read this blog...I know I am not crazy! LOL Those things were like a slice of heaven to me back then! I hope to find them again!

I remember the green trees and the side view of santa clause. Oh how I misse them to, and would love to have them here in Kansas City Missouri to.I sure hope I can find them this Christmas season.

Kemps Ice Cream still makes the trees and snowmen. I know that they are sold around Christmas in MN.

I cannot find the specialty desserts website Kimberley? I would love to order the gingerbread men and chilly bears they were my absolute favorite as a child and my mother would also love to reminisce over them!

I loved the Green ice cream trees, and the pink and white ice cream Santa profile treats as well. But my absolute favorites were the gingerbread sandwiches. I seriously could eat the entire box in an evening, they were so good! I moved to TX 12 years ago, and have been looking for them ever since, with no luck. Now that I have two young boys, I would love to find these to share with them during the holidays. Any help in finding them is appreciated; I would gladly order them and have them shipped in. :)

Ok everyone thought i was crazy when i talk about the gingerbread icecream sandwhiches!!! haha, i was at meijer in michigan yesterday and they have the Christmas trees and Santa ones!! Deans makes them! I still havent found the gingerbread icecream sandwhiches though, if anyone knows please let me know!!!

I am sure the snowballs covered with coconut with a little holly leaf at the top came from Baskin Robbins. 80's and 90's

Yesterday I bought the green mint trees and van-choc-strawb snowmen at a Kroger's in Michigan, made by Kemps. What I really, really want to find are the Chilly Bears and the gingerbread men, though.

Yes, I too remember them as a child in the 70's and 80's here in PA. I've only ever seen them sold at our Weis grocery store. They brought them back for a few holidays a couple of years ago, so I was able to share them w/my young son but have not seen them sold in the past 3 years, including this year. Last year I emailed Kemps and inquired about them myself but never got a response. So far this year, I've only seen the Trees, Snowmen and Santa. I have not seen the Bears(ccokies and cream flavored) nor my favorite, Gingerbread Men.

Peapod and Meijer have the Dean's Snowmen ice cream bars and the geen mint trees

I am so glad I'm not crazy. I just moved to Colorado from Wisconsin and the Christmas trees and santa faces are nowhere to be found. I've had more than a few people look at me like I'm crazy when I've asked for them. My grandma used to get them for us around Christmas

They are made by Kemp's. They have snowman heads too.

Loved those! Lived in IA at the time. Can't wait to try and find them again!

julia, I tried to contact them again this year too, the dry ice thing must have just been an idea because I couldnt find it either, if you are in midwest I know Pierres out of cleveland can tell you were they distribute in your area. I dont live up north last year my boyfriend flew me back 3 boxes on a plane from Pennsylvania.

I have searched high and low for these in the Frederick, Maryland area with no luck. Does anyone know where I can get these around me? These were such an annual tradition when I grew up in Syracuse, NY and I so miss them!

I thought I was the only one who remembered the Ice cream Christmas trees!!! I've been searching VA for them. They are the best!

I just found Kemps Christmas trees and Santa heads at a local grocery store in Bethlehem, PA. They taste just like I remember them, so good! I wish they still sold the gingerbread men, those were my favorites.

Loved the trees and snowmen and can't find them in the DC area. Anyone who has found them in MD or York, PA area please let us know what stores have them so I can make a drive for them!

Does anyone know where I can find them near Lancaster PA or Philadelphia area?

I need to find the gingerbread men icecream sandwich. I found a post the eskimopie made them but nestle bought the company any thoughts

The Snowmen and Christmas Trees are at Kroger (2010) made by Kemps!

HEY I was looking for these trees thats how I came upon this sight! WOW I loved those green Christmas trees with the sprinkles on them. I can't find them in the stores these days. I am going to keep looking ! If you find them give me a call 610 383 2251 OH Merry Christmas !

My fiance loves them! He's looked everywhere but can't find them at any stores.

Kemp's was the maker of the Ginger bread man sandwitches. I went to their site but they aren't listed just the trees and santa's. We should all wirte to them asking for them to start making the ginger bread sandwitches again

I found the Trees and Snowmen in the Lancaster & Philadelphia area!!! The store is called Croppers in Downingtown PA. Bought six boxes on Sunday!!!

King Soopers carried them here in Denver. I bought one box, and two days later I went back to stock up and they were all gone already:(

My Grandma always brought that ice creamove to our house Cristmas day my sisters and i couldnt wait for her to come. My Grandma passed away this year she was 95 miss miss her a whole bunch i wanted to keep the tradion goin and bring the Cristmas TRee ice cream .I cannnot fing it anywhere it would me so much to me and my two sisters

SIGN MY PETITION TO BRING THESE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES BACK TO MARKET! http://www.petitiononline.com/alan2805/

YUUUUUUUUUUUM!! I miss those gingerbread chilly bear ice cream sandwiches or whatever they are! I want to try and homemade make them, but I know they just wont be the same.

Here's the link to the Green Trees: http://www.kemps.com/products/prodDetail.aspx?cid=750&plc=20&pcc=52

Years ago Safeway sold a Lucerne brand ice cream sandwich with pink peppermint ice cream (with crushed candy canes) sandwiched between gingerbread. Haven't seen them in decades, but always ask around the holidays. Lucerne: Bring these back!!

Bring back the Chilly Bears!!!! PLEASE!!!

Yes! The ice cream trees, santas, and snowmen are a vivid memory of my childhood at Christmas time! I've been talking about them for years, and no one including my mom remembers them! But now my husband says he remembers the snowmen. We don't have a Kroger where we live. I hope to find them somewhere some day!

I've looked everywhere for years for the green trees and pink santas we had as kids in Pa. I would love to find them again for my grandkids!

Wow! I was just talking about these gingerbread sandwiches to my girlfriend and she had no clue what I was saying! I live by Albany ny And have looked every holiday season trying to find them! Lol

I live in New york and i havent had chilly bears in 10 years and i look for them every christmas does anyone know where i can get them

I have looked every year for these in Florida and nobody ever has them. I grew up in PA and I want these here too. It wasn't christmas if you didn't get the trees and the santa ice cream.

I'm looking for the chilly bears too if anyone has any information. I'd love to have them again and introduce my nephew to them!

Have been looking everywhere for years for the chilly bears and gingerbread men. One of my sons asks every year. Anyone know of a distributor in Michigan. Dean's has the snowman heads- sold at Meijer. Can't find anything else.

Every year when it gets cold I start looking in the grocery store freezer for gingerbread icecream sandwiches. To my dismay I never find them.n no one even seems to remember them until I found this blog! So glad I'm not alone! So I feel there's hope! Now if I could just find them in Connecticut. Email me if you find a place in ct or mass, info@lindsayshaw.com.

I found the christmas tree ice cream in Super Stop and Shop in NY last night. I was excited because I haven't seen them in years.

in wisconsin we have these at nearly every grocery store and retail store( walmart ect) that carries groceries they sell them around the wintertime hollidays they come in The christmas tree, a snowman. and last year i even bought a reindeer shaped kind it was chocolate YUM. Kemps manufactures them:)

Can't believe there's a page for this! Think I remember, but it would be so cool if someone got a picture on this page. This Christmas Tree Icecream was around in New Jersey (North) around 1975, correct?

im looking for the snowmen ice cream but i cant seem to find them i am in the u.k anyone no where i can get them? or a website i can buy them. PLEASE HELP

their kemps ice cream treats, and their still made today....just google kemps ice cream

I so wish that I could find these now! They also came in stars too! My mom used to get them during the holidays! I just wish sliced ice cream would come back it's so much better than scooping.

ANY word on Chilly Bears around Grand Rapids,Mi? It would be a dream come true! Trying to surprise my best friend for the holidays! Thank You

I was just in a Grand Rapids area Meijer yesterday, and Dean's green Christmas tree ice cream (also snowman heads) were all stocked up!

WOW, cool how people remember those green shaped Xmas trees with sprinkles. I remember them back round 1974-1976. Now with help from Face Book, I am sure we can find those little green trees. Maybe even google or FBI or who knows....iTunes...? I am too, searching again this Xmas 4 those trees. I don't remember any gingerbread shapes......I live in extreme southern Il. Let the 2012 hunt begin........

In the 1960's and maybe 70's, Velda Dairy in Fla made a Green Christmas tree shaped ice cream. It was on a stick and wrapped in paper. It was pretty soft, had some red color mixed in, a very unique taste and was delicious. Sure wish they were still around!

Can't believe no one can find any pictures of those gingerbread sandwiches!! I have searched high and low for them on the internet!! It's like they never even existed!! My sister and I LOVED them!! They were so soft! ...okay now my mouth is watering... :PPPP

They had them at Dave's craft world in buffalo, NY. They had the Christmas Trees and Sugar Cookie Bears. Haven't seen them this year though :(

Just picked up a box each of Dean's holiday snowmen and Christmas tree ice cream treats. Still no gingerbread man ice cream sandwiches. They probably found out they cause cancer and took all proof of ever making them off the Internet. I believe this was the case with another 80's favorite- Oatmeal Swirlers. The gel you mixed into the oatmeal was proven to be toxic! Lol! Merry Christmas!

Thank you for your recent e-mail to Country Fresh®. We appreciate your interest in our products. After careful consideration, the decision was made to discontinue the production of Country Fresh® Gingerbread Man Sandwiches. While this product did well in select markets, it did not meet the overall sales expectations for the company. We will forward your comments to our Marketing Department. Thanks again for contacting the Consumer Affairs Department. Sincerely, Brian Laffler Consumer Response Representative Ref: N1700733

Does anyone remember a mint ice cream with peppermint candy in it? I cant remember exactly what it was called, but I think it was Santa Claus something...... I remember my parents buying a bunch of half gallon cartons around Christmas. Does anyone remember the name of this ice cream?

I remember these like yesterday. They were a holiday tradition from Great Grandma then to my Great Aunt. I have been in search for these for the last 10 years. I used to live in Indiana and now in New York. My determination continues but if all else fails make your own. My dad is going to make these this year. Hopefully his granddaughter will remember them when she is my age and know how special they are. PS: I was glad to find this web page and there are others out there just like me looking for these ice creams.

Good luck in your seach Mrs. Ragu. I'm looking, too and will let everyone know if/when they are found.

You can see a picture on the Kemps website, just google it.

Like Eddie Murphy said in his famous stand up: "ICE CREAM!! ICE CREAM!!" Get it? That funny.

I loved Green Christmas Tree Ice Cream and I'm Jewish! Used to joke with my gentile buds, "Yeah, but you should taste the 'Blue Star of David Ice Cream.'"

I remember a santa with a sack on his back, same company made them that made the slices for waffles and ice cream. Really disapointed I can not find them. My daughter is 7, and never had the chance to meet her grandmom or great grandma on my side of the family. will keep looking. Don't remember the trees, guess Nana always bought the same things.

Giant Eagle Market District stores in Pittsburgh still carry them every December. They also have the snowmen. My daughters are seeking the gingerbread men ice cream sandwiches. I cannot locate them. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tip, Annette! You the woman! I live in North Jersey, but will make the trip out to Pittsburgh and get some. Sorry I can't help with the gingerbread men ice creams

I live in Baltimore and I'll be going to Pittsburg, too!

Having some Green Christmas Tree Icecream tonight thanks to you, Anette. My friend Ben told me and he and I got back yester! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

It's a Christmas miricle

I bought some at a Giant Eagle outside Cleveland, OH; "Kemps Frosty Trees". My adult children were excited to see it-only around xmas though.

I am glad that people have posted their comments..Because I now can look for this Brand Kemps Frosty Trees @ Xmas time...I ate this as a child & remember my grandmother always having this ice cream @ xmas. THANK YOU!!!

Chili Bears were made by Integrated Brands Inc., Ronkonkoma, NY. in the 80's or 90's. Can't find a website for it

We are so excited there is an actual page dedicated to these fabulous ice cream treats. We had the ice cream trees every holiday season as kids and have been searching for them ever since. We haven't been able to find anyone in the Northwest that sells them, but will keep looking.

Have looked for these every year- loved them as a kid growing up! Here in Alabama ours was made by Barbers & they don't make ice cream anymore. If anyone finds them in the south please let me know!

I found the green tree icecream at giant eagle in ohio... I really want the snowman :(... Can't believe they are so hard to find nowadays. Please bring me back my childhood and stock the store!!!

They're baaaaack! (Albeit on a stick ...)

Whoops forgot to post link. Again: They're baaaaaack! http://www.flickr.com/photos/theimpulsivebuy/11187002154

Oh how I remember...one of the best parts of Christmas waaaaay back when. I live in the Pacific Northwest so hope I can find some again someday...will be back a big smile :)

A supermarket in Pittsburgh, Kuhn's Quality Food Stores, carries both the trees and snowmen and I just purcased some. The treats are made by Dean Foods Co., Franklin Park, Illinois 60131, phone #1-800-395-7004.

There are a lot of different brands out there but I believe the original ones that the poster is talking about are by Kemp's. There are Frosty Trees and Winter Snowmen

Stop and shop distributed them in the northeast. The originals are made by Kemps. You can find both the trees and snowmen on their website. http://www.kemps.com/freezer/novelties/

I remember those! My favorites were the snowmen with the chocolate and vanilla ice cream. I was trying to describe them to a friend who never had them as a kid and we looked and looked for them last Christmas. Taking notes for 2014!

did they have these in the late 80's early 90's?

Yes they had the gingerbread men and sugarbear ice cream sandwiches in the 80s/ early 90/s

PLEASE someone sell these in the south. I have told my children about these for over 20 years. I look for them every year and have not been able to find them. :`(

Giant in northern Virginia had the snowmen this year and maybe the trees. They were on clearance a week ago when I went there. The best was the gingerbread men though and haven't seen those in years. I can't believe I found all these comments, what an impression these made on all of us as kids.

There is a group on Facebook trying to get Kemps to bring back the Gingerbread Men ice cream sandwiches... And hopefully someday the Chilly Bears too. There is a picture of the box on the site. :-)

I remember getting the vanilla flavored trees with rainbow sprinkles from Safeway as a kid. The ones made by Kemps and Deans are unfortunately not the same. :(

They have the green mint tree ice creams with sprinkles at Target under Market Pantry brand this year, called Holiday Trees. They taste just like the ones when we were kids!! Yum! Had to buy some!

Found the ones at target today!!! But so wishing someone would bring back the gingerbread sandwhiches. Heck Oreo has Gingerbread flavor!

my mom used to get these in the early 90s and she got the gingerbread too, i sure miss them!!!

My sister and I loved those , there was a box with assorted- green trees, snowman,Stanta with strawberry and ice cream and ithimk a chocolate Rudolf with a red candy nose

Searched for four years, found them at my local Hyvee this year!!!

So how do you serve them at a party? On a plate with a fork? Or straight out of the bag, the way I just did?

The Kemps Gingerbread Man sandwiches are coming back in October 2020 - Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa. The Kemps Frosty Trees and Frosty Snowman will NOT be made for winter / Christmas 2020.
