I have a bit of a soft spot for gingerbread. Gingerbread cookies, gingerbread houses, gingerbread men with their little icing faces. I’ll happily eat the lot. Chai is another favorite of mine, especially when the weather starts getting colder. All those lovely warming spices, preferably in a big mug that I can wrap both hands around while pretending I’m in some sort of cozy Christmas movie.

So when I heard that Pinkberry had decided to combine gingerbread and chai into one holiday frozen yogurt flavor, I was very much on board. Yes, frozen yogurt. Not a latte, not a cookie, not a candle that smells good enough to eat. Actual frozen yogurt.
What’s In Pinkberry’s New Gingerbread Chai Frozen Yogurt?
Pinkberry’s latest seasonal creation is called Gingerbread Chai, which is wonderfully straightforward as far as holiday flavor names go.
The new limited-time Gingerbread Chai frozen yogurt combines the classic flavors of gingerbread with the warming spices of chai. It’s also a non-tart flavor, which is worth mentioning if you usually associate frozen yogurt with that distinctive tang. This one leans into the sweeter, creamier side of things.
And Pinkberry hasn’t stopped at the frozen yogurt itself.
The holiday offering comes topped with cinnamon powder, whipped cream, and a gingerbread cookie. A whole gingerbread cookie. On top of your frozen yogurt. I appreciate that. There’s a little bit of everything happening here. Creamy frozen yogurt, fluffy whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, and something crunchy to finish it off.
When Can You Get It?
The good news is that there’s no waiting around for this one. Gingerbread Chai is available now at participating Pinkberry locations nationwide and it’s sticking around until January 7, 2027.
So you’ve got the whole holiday season to try it, including those strange few days between Christmas and New Year’s when nobody knows what day it is and eating dessert at 11AM is perfectly acceptable. And while I love a good holiday cookie or slice of pie, I also like the idea of something a little different.
We tend to associate Christmas desserts with things that come straight out of the oven. Warm cookies, freshly baked gingerbread, pies that need a scoop of ice cream on the side. Pinkberry has taken those same cozy flavors and made them cold―which, when you think about it, is a slightly strange choice for winter. But people eat ice cream in December all the time, so I’m not going to start questioning it now.
And if anyone needs me between now and January 7th, I’ll be busy trying to decide whether to eat the gingerbread cookie first or save it for last.
