There’s no treat more synonymous with the holidays than the humble cookie. Not that we don’t enjoy scarfing down several fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies any time the craving strikes throughout the year, but there’s something about the holidays that makes the soft, chewy morsels taste even more magical. From the classic linzier to something a bit more dramatic, like a matcha checkerboard cookie, or a whimsical swirled one that looks like it came straight out of Whoville, you can pretty much find the perfect cookie to suit your fancy once the season gets into full swing.
And beyond just eating them, baking them up with loved ones is one of the season’s hallmarks and most delicious traditions. Whether you make mountains of peanut butter or prefer a rich, buttery sugar cookie topped with royal icing and sprinkles, there are a multitude of tasty morsels to choose from, and once you’ve made—and tasted—a few, you can package them up in cookie tins to give to friends and neighbors. What’s not to love? There’s a reason cookies are Santa’s favorite treat after all.

Not to mention that National Cookie Day falls on Dec. 4, further proving that without cookies, the holidays wouldn’t be as magical. With that in mind, it makes sense that retailers like Sam’s Club would get in on the cookie action and offer up a few tasty varieties of its own, perfect for putting out for Ol’ Saint Nick when he finally comes to town. But what if instead of just putting out a few cookies, we could give Kris Kringle a little something extra, like a tasty new sundae that shoppers say is “Santa-approved”?
Sam’s Club’s New Jingle Cookie Crunch Sundae Has Shoppers Drooling
Well, it looks like it’s Santa’s lucky day. Starting today, Dec. 1, Sam’s Club is offering its new limited-time Member’s Mark Jingle Cookie Crunch Sundae at Sam’s Club cafes throughout December while supplies last. Members helped choose the decadent new addition via a social media poll, selecting it over a Member’s Mark Berry Merry Crunch sundae. Here’s hoping we get a taste of that one later on down the road. The new menu item features creamy frozen yogurt layered with chocolate cookie crumbles and is topped with Member’s Mark Mini Candy Cookies. It’s everything Santa loves, all layered together into one deliciously festive treat.
