Cool Off in Carlton with GLO Gelato’s Christmas Creations
Melbourne’s dessert scene is getting a festive upgrade this summer, and the team at GLO Gelato are leading the charge. Based on Lygon Street in Carlton, this gelateria has just unveiled a series of limited-edition creations to celebrate the Christmas season, and they’re as eye-catching as they are indulgent.
From refreshing granita to over-the-top shakes and rich Italian classics, GLO Gelato has found the perfect way to capture the flavours of summer and the spirit of the holidays.
Cherry Granita
It starts with the Cherry Granita, which they describe as “summer in a cup.” This frozen delight comes topped with whipped cream for a creamy finish that balances perfectly against the bright cherry flavour. It’s light, refreshing, and ideal for anyone chasing that cooling hit on a warm Melbourne afternoon.
The Monster Shake
Next up is The Monster Shake, a creation that looks like it’s stepped straight off a dessert dream board. This Oreo thick shake is stacked high with Biscoff gelato and topped with a freshly baked house cookie. It’s unapologetically rich, picture-perfect, and practically made for the ‘gram.
Tiramisu Gelato
For those who like their treats with a touch of sophistication, Tiramisu Gelato offers a more classic indulgence. It layers mascarpone, espresso, sponge, and cocoa into a creamy scoopable form, turning one of Italy’s most iconic desserts into a perfect summer indulgence.
Panettone Gelato Jar – Arriving 17 November
Launching on 17 November, GLO’s Panettone Gelato Jar is the festive crown jewel of this collection. Real panettone chunks are folded through creamy gelato and swirled with sweet peach jam, creating a dessert that feels both nostalgic and new. It’s rich, buttery, and exactly what you want after a long Christmas lunch.
A Scoop Above
What makes GLO Gelato special is its blend of creativity and craftsmanship. Every batch is made fresh daily, with ingredients chosen to enhance both flavour and texture. The Carlton store itself captures that cheerful Italian energy — vibrant, welcoming, and full of the scent of freshly made waffle cones.
So whether you’re chasing a quick summer cool-down or planning your next festive dessert stop, GLO Gelato’s Christmas collection is the perfect excuse to indulge.
