What’s more festive than Candy Cane Milkshakes?! With a fabulous cool minty flavor and beautiful pink color, this easy holiday treat is as beautiful as it is delicious.

This recipe makes two tall milkshake but easily doubles for a crowd. Classic peppermint candy canes give the milkshake the fabulous pink hue. I oohed and ahhed as the blender transformed vanilla ice cream into a pink candy cane milkshake. Much to my delight, they taste even better than they look!

I topped these gorgeous milkshakes with peppermint whipped cream. Honestly it’s more than you need but any less cream is a little hard to whip. Just keep the leftover cream in the fridge to add to hot chocolate and ice cream sundaes for a few days!
