As the holiday dust clears, a victor emerges from the most wonderful competition of the year. Throughout December, three mighty Christmas villains battled to see who was the most devious of them all. The Grinch snuck down the Meeple’s chimney to steal victory, but found votes too small for a Who’s mouse. Ebenezer Scrooge tried to hoard his votes, but the ghost of milkshakes past showed him the error of his ways. The Abominable Snowman arose from the mountains of triumph and crushed the other milkshakes to take home the victory! While we send the Grinch and Scrooge packing, the Abominable Snowman’s coconut, marshmallow, and brownie deliciousness will move on to become January’s Milkshake of the Month.

In January we celebrate another very special holiday tradition. No, this isn’t Santa, gifts, or sleigh bells; it’s the Dr. Who Christmas special! January’s shakes represent some of our favorite elements of the Dr. Who universe. All month long the Gallifrey (Peanut Butterscotch Cake), the Weeping Angel (Chocolate Marshmallow Cookie), and the TARDIS (Blue Raspberry Muffin) will compete for your hearts, your taste buds, and of course your votes.

Will the Galifrey lord over the other shakes? Will the Weeping Angel win in the blink of an eye? Or will the TARDIS be tastier on the inside?

So grab a Malted Meeple milkshake to go, and head on home to check out the Dr. Who Christmas Special (you DID record it, didn’t you?)

Don’t forget to vote for your favorite shake before you go, as only one of these shakes will go on to become February’s Milkshake of the Month!
