IT'S a Christmas dinner — and it's anything but traditional.
Hold on to your tastebuds, a Scottish ice cream parlour is offering a frozen festive feast this year.
Turkey and cranberry ice cream is on the menu at Mackie's 19.2 in Aberdeen.
The city spot is already known for unusual offerings, made on the Mackie's of Scotland Aberdeenshire farm.
It previously dared to offer a Brussels sprout variety.
This year's festive additions also include gingerbread crunch, after-dinner mint and Malteser reindeer.
Owners claim it'll give you a “full Christmas dinner experience” in “just a few scoops”.
Yvette Harrison, parlour manager at Mackie's 19.2, said: “Our flavours are extra special this year to help get people into the festive mood and lift spirits.
“What better way to do that than combining two of the public's favourite things, Christmas dinner and ice cream? We think that they will all be interesting but some may be a one-off.
“We wanted to give people an early taste of Christmas.
“While the turkey and cranberry ice cream is unlikely to be hitting freezer aisles any time soon, we’d love to know what visitors think — or how many will be brave enough to try it.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
