The Rock, whose new holiday alter ego is "Dwanta Claus," wrote on Twitter "Acquiring an ownership stake in Salt & Straw is the exciting business part. Launching my own line of Christmas themed ice cream flavors from my non-denominational alter ego, “Dwanta Claus” is the exciting FUN part."

He helped create two "naughty and nice" seasonal flavors along with founder Tyler Malek and team that includes, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Dwanta Claus" and "The Rock'n Around the Christmas Tree."

The first flavor is an "upgraded" version of a classic peanut butter cookie with chocolate chip cookie dough and milk chocolate caramel fudge swirled into a rich whiskey ice cream base.

That's right, Dwayne Johnson dreamt up to two custom "naughty and nice flavors," the confectioner told ABC News.

His second confection includes one of Johnson's favorite "cheat day" treats, brownies.

The Rock'n Around The Christmas Tree flavor starts has a Pacific Northwest spruce ice cream base, buttery frosting, gooey brownies and is decorated with raspberry jam and glacé cherries, similar to that of a classic fruitcake.

The other three flavors in the pack that costs $65 include peppermint cocoa, vegan cinnamon chai spiced eggnog and chocolate gooey brownie.

To make the holiday treat even sweeter, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
