Philadelphia Makes Holiday Hosting Sweeter With Its First-Ever Frozen Cheesecake and New Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Philadelphia Cream Cheese has secured holiday mainstay status for generations, selling more than 50 million pounds of cream cheese each season.¹ Now, the brand that set the cream cheese standard for more than 150 years is bringing magic to this year’s seasonal spread in a way only Philadelphia can with two delicious new offerings: Philadelphia Frozen Cheesecake and Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting. Available nationwide, Philadelphia is making it easier than ever for fans to enjoy holiday favorites with the perfect balance of taste, texture and convenience.
As the most prominent cheesecake ingredient, nearly 50 million slices of cheesecake are made with Philadelphia every holiday season.² This year, the brand makes holiday hosting even easier with the launch of the first-ever frozen cheesecake from a mainstream cream cheese brand, available in two fan-favorite flavors: Original and Strawberry Swirl. As the mainstay ingredient in cheesecake recipes, Philadelphia spent three years developing the new Frozen Cheesecake to make sure it was just right. Crafted with Philadelphia cream cheese as the first ingredient, with no artificial flavors or dyes, each cake includes handcrafted touches like a golden graham cracker crust and, for Strawberry Swirl, ribbons of hand-drizzled strawberry sauce. The all-new Frozen Cheesecake is a permanent addition to Philadelphia’s product offerings and delivers the familiar, homemade taste fans love, in a pre-sliced, thaw-and-serve format, with no baking required.
The delightful news doesn’t stop there! Exactly one year after debuting its refrigerated cream cheese frosting and selling nearly one million units, Philadelphia is answering fan demand with a new flavor: Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting. Made with real milk and cream and delivering the same taste, texture and convenience that cream cheese frosting lovers crave, Philadelphia’s Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting is designed to elevate everything from carrot cake to cinnamon rolls. This new flavor is the first in a line of seasonal cream cheese frosting flavors from the brand with more set to roll out in the coming months.
“Dessert is a daily ritual for many, but not everyone has the time to create holiday classics like cheesecake and cream cheese frosting from scratch every time,” said Kelli Srivastava, senior brand manager for Philadelphia cream cheese. “After three years of development, our new Frozen Cheesecake offers an effortless way to serve a holiday favorite, while our Cinnamon Frosting brings a nostalgic flavor with its blend of warm cinnamon and brown sugar. With more convenient ways to enjoy our signature creaminess, these innovations make it easier than ever to create delicious moments with Philadelphia.”
With innovation and versatility at the heart of Philadelphia, the brand is dedicated to satisfying loyalists and giving new consumers additional ways to enjoy the beloved schmear. Philadelphia’s new creations make holiday preparations easier, giving hosts the confidence to serve their seasonal favorites with the guarantee of a homemade taste.
Rolling out now, Philadelphia Frozen Cheesecake and Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting will be available at select retailers nationwide. For more information on how Philadelphia is making the holidays even sweeter, visit Cream Cheese and follow Philadelphia on Instagram and TikTok.
