It makes perfect sense - new year parties mean that lots of people will be serving bar-style drinks in their own homes, and you can't exactly just go and scrape some snow off the road to put in your friends' Baileys-on-the-rocks...
Well, yes, it does make sense. It even has a sign on it saying "for parties". But recently my sarcasm has been out-expressing my pedantry, and I can't help but be amused at someone sitting in the middle of an island covered in a varied layer of frozen, distilled, water, trying to sell it prepackaged, even if it DOES make sense :)
It does, after all, take both time and freezer space (and ice cube trays) to make (and keep) your own. Not everyone has a freezer, if they do they don't all have space for lots of ice cubes, and it's NYE - people want ice cubes :-)
