This Valentine’s Day, cuddle up with the people you love and enjoy a sweet drink straight from the North Pole. The Elf on the Shelf® Scout Elves love this Valentine’s Day ice cream float, and it is just as easy to make as a classic fizzy float. It is a fun, elf-approved activity that little ones can help with, making it perfect for a cosy family Valentine’s Day at home.
This Valentine’s Day float combines creamy vanilla ice cream with red or pink fizzy drink to create a festive treat that looks magical and tastes delicious.
What You’ll Need:
- Sundae glass or tall glass
- Vanilla ice cream
- Red or pink fizzy drink
- Decorative straw
- Whipped cream
- Fruit garnish
Instructions:
- SCOOP vanilla ice cream into a sundae glass or tall glass. Leave a little space at the top so the float does not overflow when the fizzy drink is added.
- POUR raspberry, cherry or any red or pink fizzy drink of your choice over the ice cream to create a beautifully coloured Valentine’s Day float. Helpful hint: for a deeper colour, use pink or red ice cream alongside the fizzy drink.
- GARNISH with whipped cream and add a decorative straw with a Valentine’s Day touch. Fresh fruit such as cherries or strawberries makes a lovely topping too.
- BOTTOMS UP and happy Valentine’s Day from the Scout Elves at the North Pole.

For the ultimate Valentine’s Day treat, pair this sweet float with homemade Valentine’s Day biscuits for a magical dessert combo the whole family can enjoy.
