Parents, the New York City-based magazine published by Meredith Corporation, has released its Best Frozen Treats list, a “people’s choice” selection of flavorful and enjoyable pops, bars, and pints.
“Parents’ Best Frozen Treats 2021 list comprises tasty and healthy frozen treats handpicked by kids and parents that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and keep you cool this summer,” said Julia Edelstein, the magazine’s editor-in-chief.
