To celebrate Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse, Kith Treats introduced The Horse, a limited-edition ice cream available as a swirl, milkshake, or ice cream sandwich through February 22. I tried the swirl and understood why it’s become such a popular release.
The ice cream is a simple but thoughtful mix of vanilla with persimmon, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and candied pecans. The flavors are perfectly balanced, sweet without being overpowering, and the crunchy mix-ins add texture to every bite. Beyond being delicious, it feels celebratory and respectful of Lunar New Year traditions. Persimmons, a fruit commonly enjoyed during Lunar New Year festivities, are believed to symbolize prosperity, abundance, and a sweet start to the year ahead, giving the dessert a subtle cultural connection that elevates it beyond a seasonal treat.
The Lunar New Year capsule collection released alongside the ice cream reflects the same level of intention. The apparel features clean designs with understated festive details and horse-themed graphics. The pieces feel wearable and well-constructed, highlighting Kith’s ability to merge culture, design, and lifestyle in a cohesive seasonal release. Seeing the collection in person emphasized how the brand creates items that feel timely without being overly trend-driven.
Visiting the Kith Treats Miami Beach location added another layer to the experience. The store is beautifully designed, with bright, well-lit spaces and multiple rooms and corners that make exploring it a pleasure. I personally loved the shoe wall, but each area has its own personality, encouraging visitors to linger. The layout and atmosphere make tasting the ice cream feel like part of a larger lifestyle experience rather than a quick grab-and-go.
Overall, The Horse is more than just ice cream; it is a complete seasonal experience. The flavors are balanced and fun, and the persimmon adds a thoughtful nod to Lunar New Year. Paired with the capsule collection and well-designed store, it all comes together in a way that feels deliberate and enjoyable. Whether you are an ice cream lover, a fan of Kith, or just curious to check out their upscale clothing, it is absolutely worth trying while it remains available.
