Peppermint, chocolate and gingerbread might be some of the first things that come to mind when you think of holiday flavors. But if you’re someone who can’t have Christmas cookies without a glass of milk, there’s an unexpected treat you might love this winter. Target is selling sugar cookie milk from its in-house Market Pantry brand. The flavored whole milk is the best of both worlds: the taste of sugar cookies right in the milk itself.
What Is Sugar Cookie Milk?
The treat, as its title points out, is literally milk that’s infused with sugar cookie flavor. The milk sounds like it would be a yummy way to add a bit of sweetness to your morning coffee (here are some other unexpected but tasty coffee add-ins). Or, you could always do as the packaging suggests and enjoy a cold glass alongside a couple of sugar cookies for an even tastier sugar rush.
And if the sound of sugar cookie milk doesn’t strike your fancy, Target also has a few other holiday-themed milks that might catch your eye. There’s Market Pantry maple pecan milk, chocolate mint milk, and even pumpkin spice eggnog. And if dairy alternatives are more your speed, Target is also selling plenty of holiday-flavored almond and soy milk options, like Califia Farms Mint Cocoa holiday creamer, made from almond milk, and Silk Nog, made with soy milk.
When Will It Be Available to Purchase?
If you’re someone who likes starting the holiday season early, you’re in luck. Target’s sugar cookie milk is available for in-store purchase now, as are the other Market Pantry flavored milk offerings. And who says you have to wait until after Thanksgiving to enjoy holiday-flavored treats? They’ll taste just as delicious at any time of year.
