Get ready for the most Chicagoan collaboration ever: Oberweis Ice Cream and Dairy has teamed up with The Joffrey Ballet.
This partnership celebrates the 10th anniversary of two-time Tony Award®-winning choreographer Christopher Wheeldon’s The Nutcracker. To honor this milestone, Oberweis has crafted a brand-new, limited-edition ice cream flavor: Nutcracker Peppermint Swirl.
