It makes sense that I forget about ice when making my (Christmas) shopping lists and double-checking them. If you live in a snowy climate, you may think about something other than ice in the days before Christmas.
You will need ice for Christmas Day and Eve. Ice is needed for many things: making cocktails, iced drinks (such as tea or any other beverage), cooling champagne, filling coolers, or, if you want to be fancy, keeping caviar and shrimp cocktail at the right temperature.
There is no quick way to make ice. It takes several hours of freezing for the water molecules in the ice to form a crystal. Many stores are closed during the day, so you can’t buy ice. Who is (probably) not closed? McDonald’s. McDonald’s. I say “probably” because it’s hard to guarantee. But I’ve had enough McDonald’s breakfast sausage biscuits for Christmas to be optimistic. A company representative also told The Pioneer Woman that most golden-arched establishments would be open. Who doesn’t believe a company rep?
Anyway. You can buy bags of ice at most franchises for less than two dollars, so you don’t have to spend much to get your frozen water. Then, go home and make some cocktails or drink tea. You can get the best ice at Sonic on Christmas Eve. The Sonic drive-throughs will be open on Christmas Eve but not on the day of the birth.
