How to Host a Family Game Night

Weโ€™re celebrating summer with a simple game night! Hosting a game night for my family is one of my favorite things to do. We snack on popcorn and dessert, the kids get to stay up late and we indulge in the best OREOยฎ  Ice Cream Cake, which I picked up at my local Kroger store in the bakery freezer section. We each choose a game to play, clear off the coffee table, toss down some pillows, and create the best memories.

The OREO Ice Cream Cake has a whipped, creamy icing and is made with the best OREO ice cream, with a large OREO cookie on top. My whole family loves it!
