Today's Reason to Celebrate

July 23, 2025 was

National Vanilla Ice Cream Day


It’s Vanilla Ice Cream Day! Vanilla ice cream has gotten a reputation for being a bit plain, especially when compared to its more exciting siblings – chocolate, strawberry, mint chip, and cookie dough. Today is vanilla ice cream’s day to shine! 

Vanilla ice cream is a classic ice cream choice with a rich history. Though vanilla ice cream was not introduced in the United States until the 1780s, when Thomas Jefferson brought the recipe over from France, vanilla had been used as a flavoring ingredient by the Aztec people as early as the 1500s. 

Pick up a pint of your favorite brand at the grocery store to celebrate National Vanilla Ice Cream Day. Pass up fancy flavors like cookies and cream or fudge brownie for good old-fashioned vanilla ice cream!
