It may not be the creamery or quaint ice cream parlor you're looking for, but Brigham's really does make a very good peppermint ice cream. Unparalleled. At Christmas time, you can find it at most major supermarkets: Hannafords, Shaws/Star Market, Market Basket, etc.
I enjoy it with a homemade hot fudge sauce that is on the bitter side.

The Ice Creamsmith does have awesome peppermint stick ice cream, but they only offer it as a monthly flavor (November) and they are now on limited winter hours with pre-packed ice cream of just a few flavors.

I hear a lot of people rave about this place but the few times I went the ice cream tasted like frozen cool whip and frosting, kind of like a cheap, no-name, hoodie knock off that you'd get at the high school cafeteria. There seems to be such a disconnect between others opinions and mine that I wonder if maybe I only dreamt I went and never actually set foot in the place.

From an ice cream stand - Crescent Ridge in Sharon.

Of course you'd need a time machine to go back to the 1960's. Never mind.

They have peppermint as a special flavor right now. They will also make a six pint batch of whatever you want if you want that much for a party or freezer hoard. https://www.tippingcowicecream.com/flavors

Tipping cow is great!! They also have really good non-dairy flavors.
Christina's in Cambridge also has peppermint stick as a seasonal flavor, and I believe they'll make anything special if you order a quart. I did that with their mango jalapeno sorbet once (worth it!!).
