National Ice Cream Month, celebrated in July, is a joyous time dedicated to honouring the beloved frozen treat that has delighted taste buds for generations. This month-long celebration was designated by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 to recognise the popularity of ice cream in the United States. It’s a time to revel in the countless flavours and forms of this irresistible dessert, from classic sundaes and cones to artisanal gelatos and dairy-free options. Whether enjoyed at an ice cream parlour, from a food truck, or crafted at home, National Ice Cream Month is an opportunity for people of all ages to cool off with a scoop of their favourite flavour and create lasting summer memories. Additionally, the month also serves as a reminder of the dairy industry’s contributions to the nation’s economy. So, as the temperatures rise, let’s all scream for ice cream and celebrate this delicious, time-honoured treat.
