Hudsonville Ice Cream Celebrates Detroit Baseball with Seasonal Release of Tiger Traxx Flavor!

Spring means the arrival of two great loves—baseball and ice cream. The latest Limited Edition flavor from Holland-based Hudsonville Ice Cream brings together these two passions with the release of Tiger Traxx—the Official Ice Cream of the Detroit Tigers.

Tiger Traxx brings a taste of the ballpark home with you. Your family will cheer for creamy vanilla ice cream, loaded with chocolate covered pretzel baseballs and a thick fudge swirl. Enjoy this Limited Edition flavor while cheering on your favorite hometown baseball team.

“Michigan loves its Detroit Tigers—and we’re certain they’ll love this seasonal flavor as well,” says Raymond Sierengowski of Hudsonville Ice Cream. “This homerun combination celebrates two of America’s all-time favorite pastimes—baseball and ice cream!”

This is the fourth season that these two Michigan organizations have teamed up. Tiger Traxx and five other flavors will be available in the “Big Cat Court” section of Comerica Park, as well in the ballpark suites, throughout the full season. Tiger Traxx will hit retail freezer cases in mid-April, through early September.

Hudsonville Ice Cream flavors can be found in grocery stores and ice cream parlors in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. In addition to its “All Season” flavors, which are available year round, several “Limited Edition Flavors” are offered throughout the year.

Started in 1895 as a farmers’ cooperative, the Holland-based Hudsonville Creamery & Ice Cream is the largest manufacturer of branded ice cream in Michigan. For more than 80 years, this Midwest company has been producing its creamy, delicious ice cream – using many of its original flavors, while at the same time creating refreshing new recipes inspired by the Great Lakes.

Three cheers for the Red, White & Blue – as Michigan-based Hudsonville Ice Cream introduces its latest Limited Edition seasonal flavor, just in time for National Ice Cream Month (July).

Summer Celebration is an explosion of three delicious flavors – swirls of creamy vanilla ice cream, raspberry sherbet and blueberry sherbet – blended in a patriotic color scheme that even Uncle Sam would be proud to savor.

“We are excited to release our newest summer Limited Edition flavor, and this one certainly pays tribute to the red, white and blue,” says Caryn Beatty, from Hudsonville Ice Cream. “Summer Celebration is the perfect treat to scoop up on those lazy summer days spent with family and friends, when it just seems like everything deserves to be celebrated. A sweet mix of our Original Vanilla ice cream, with raspberry and blueberry sherbet, it is certain to be a hit with the whole family.”

In addition to Summer Celebration, Hudsonville is serving up three other Limited Edition summer seasonals, including:

• Grand Hotel Pecan Ball – Since 1887, the stately Grand Hotel has graced Mackinac Island with its signature sweeping porches and air of elegance.

• Tiger Traxx – Bring the taste of the ballpark home with you! Your family will stand up and cheer for creamy vanilla ice cream loaded with chocolate covered pretzel baseballs and a thick fudge swirl.
