You'll try to resist, but you Pecan't 🍁 ... Hansen's Egg Nog is back! 🎄 ... Dinner and Dessert Pizza Special 🍕🍎 🫐

November 2026

Happy Thanksgiving! Hansen's Dairy stores will be open regular hours on Wednesday, Nov. 25, and closed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26.

Photos of the Month

One of our favorite fall traditions is our annual Down on the Farm Breakfast. More than 500 people join us each year for a hearty breakfast, a little farm fun and the chance to meet some of the cows behind their milk.

These are a couple of standout snapshots from this year's event on Oct. 17. The kids got to meet our gal Lively, and their expressions say it all. Judging by their reactions, Lively made a pretty good impression!

MONTHLY COUPON

Treat of the Month

We tried to resist. We really did. But we just pe-can't. Meet Pecan't Resist, our November Treat of the Month.

It features a scoop of Butter Pecan ice cream in a mini waffle bowl, drizzled with caramel. Then we top it with whipped cream, more caramel, pecans and a cherry. Yeah, we never stood a chance.

Available all month long at both stores. Go ahead. Give in. You pe-can and you should.

Pizza of the Month

The pineapple-on-pizza debate can wait. Dinner can't. So move quickly for our Pizza of the Month.

Ultimate Hawaiian Pizza piles on the good stuff: ham, bacon bits, red peppers, pineapple and a whole lot of mozzarella, all on a fresh pizza crust.

Pick up a large 14-inch Ultimate Hawaiian Pizza all month long at our Cedar Falls store for just $21.99. Stop in or call (319) 266-3044 to order ahead!

Pie by the slice? Don't mind if we do!

Want a slice of pie but don't want to bake? Step away from the oven and let us take it from here!

Our Waterloo store is serving up slices of a different Try Pie variety each day Monday-Saturday. 🥧 Find favorites like Apple, Apple Pear Cranberry, Peach Blackberry, Blueberry and Triple Berry.

Grab the slice of the day while supplies last. Want whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on top? We can do that, too! Stop in!

Cow of the Month

Our November Cow of the Month isn't afraid to say what's on her mind. Loudly.

And what's on her mind is the milking parlor. Dorothy always arrives early and bellows if she's kept waiting. This diva wants to be milked tout de suite (that’s “right now” for those of us who didn’t take French) and expects our parlor crew to oblige in lockstep. They do.

At 5 years old, Dorothy is producing 110 pounds of milk a day, well above the herd average. Turns out, her big personality comes with big production.

Dorothy’s a looker, too. Proper height, strong legs, a well-shaped head, a strong jaw and bright eyes. Rumor has it some top modeling agencies are trying to reach her. They can find her in the milking parlor. 💄🐄

Cooking with Hansen's & Tom the Chef

I’ve met plenty of people who aren’t huge fans of broccoli, but I’ve never met anyone who didn't fall in love with this soup.

It is incredibly creamy, rich in flavor and so simple to make from scratch. By using the whole broccoli, stem included, we get amazing flavor and zero waste. Top a warm bowl off with crispy croutons and a dollop of thick sour cream, and you've got the perfect comfort meal.

Tom Slepicka is a classically trained chef born in the Czech Republic and living in Cedar Rapids. He is a recipe creator, food writer and culinary educator who publishes scratch recipes from around the world at tomthechef.com. Hansen's Dairy is Tom the Chef's favorite dairy brand to use in his recipes!
