Tyra Banks is sharing which ’90s trend she’d most like to see come back around.

Banks, 52, recently caught up with PEOPLE at the world premiere of Cirque Du Soleil LUDÕ in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. During the conversation, the former supermodel revealed that there’s one specific ’90s-era style she is longing to bring back.

“I love the ’90s,” she said. “If I could bring back a ’90s trend … (I’d) love those tight necklaces, and they had … a little handle on them, and we made them with black string. Like a black ribbon.”

“So simple, so cheap. Please come back. Make it happen,” she added with a laugh.

TheAmerica’s Next Top Modelcreator also opened up about the success of her new viral dessert: hot ice cream.

The product, which launched in September via her ice cream brand, Smize & Dreamis described as a warm, sippable, dessert-drink hybrid, and is often topped with things like whipped cream and nuts. The hot ice cream debuted at Smize & Dream’s flagship shop in Sydney, Australia, and quickly became a social-media sensation.

Banks called the unexpected viral success of the product “insane.”

“I never in a million years thought it would be viral. I never in a million years thought I would be in … Mexico and at a Cirque Du Soleil opening of a new show and being asked about it. So it’s beyond my expectations, and now I have to live up to it,” she said.

She also shared why she thinks the new product has seen such meteoric success.

“I realized that when I named it hot ice cream, that it’s like playing on opposite — hot, cold, frozen, heat. So it just boggles people’s minds,” she said, adding, “It’s pretty amazing.”

The entrepreneur went on to explain the inspiration behind “Santa Smize,” a character she created to help promote the new hot ice cream concept.

“(Santa Smize) looks exactly like me,” Banks explained. “She has problems with me because I invented hot ice cream. She invented cold ice cream and she does not like the attention that hot ice cream is getting … So it’s a whole situation. You’re gonna be seeing a lot of her — especially next Christmas — because she is also going viral. ‘Cause she is in pain.”

As for Banks’ plans for the holidays? She revealed they will entail a combination of family time and work.

“For me, (the) holidays look like hot ice cream and my hot, crazy family,” she joked. “So we’re gonna work and live and be by the tree, but then have to go and sell some hot ice cream all at the same time.”
