5 Reasons to Enjoy Creamery Lemont This Holiday Season
During the warmer months, it’s a no-brainer to stop by for an ice cream after a fun day in the sun. However, we’d like to make the case that ice cream should be a year-round treat. With Creamery Lemont’s latest menu, we’ve put together our top 5 reasons why you should enjoy a colossal sundae, hot chocolate, or just a simple scoop of the good stuff!
Indulge in Holiday Inspired Flavors
Seasonal flavors like peppermint stick, eggnog, and gingerbread are a unique twist on the classic treat. Creamery is famous for their Colossal Shakes.
“We first launched our Colossal Shakes and Sundaes as a part of our exclusive Igloo reservations. They were wildly popular so we’ve rolled out seasonal colossal shakes to offer customers a unique, over-the-top festive dessert throughout the seasons,” shares Leah Sisk, Director of Sales and Marketing.

No Rushing
We love to cool down with a cold treat on a hot day but when the temps are 90 degrees plus, we’re in a race against time to finish. When it’s snowing outside, there are no worries about taking your ice cream to-go! Even the hot chocolate still tastes great when it’s cold.
Use the cold months try all of the flavors. The Lemont location has 28 flavors to choose from rotating from a collection of 65+ flavors! From seasonal selections (pumpkin, peppermint, eggnog, and more) to new flavors (ahem, Salted Caramel Brownie!) – there’s always a reason to come back.
Do Some Good
This December, Creamery is partnering with Project Fire Buddies, a local non-profit that makes sure no child fighting a critical illness fights alone. For every regular and loaded Hot Chocolate purchased, they’ll donate $1 to the organization.
Project Fire Buddies brings joy to kids struggling with critical illnesses. We believe that no child should fight these battles alone. Members of PFB visit Fire Buddies in their homes, often arriving in a parade of fire vehicles with lights and sirens blazing. The Creamery is thrilled to grow its partnership with Project Fire Buddies, spreading smiles one scoop of ice cream at a time.
Since its inception, PFB has been steadily growing and expanding. From 2023 to 2024 alone, the organization grew by 500%. New chapters are committing to the mission every day and helping us bring joy to even more children.
Try every flavor of loaded hot chocolate, with the perfect combo of crushed peppermint, whipped cream, marshmallows, mini donuts, cookies, and rich, silky chocolate.
