“The biggest Ben and Jerry’s day of the year” has arrived.
From chocolate fudge brownies to marshmallow skies, the Burlington, Vermont-based ice cream company will celebrate Free Cone Day on April 14 by offering free scoops “all day long.”
This tradition can be found at participating scoop shops around the world and has been observed since 1979. According to Ben & Jerry’s, it was a way to thank customers for all the “love and support” they’ve shown during their first year in business.
“Free Cone Day is for the fans,” Ben & Jerry’s CEO Jochanan Senf said in a statement. “It is our way of expressing our gratitude through moments of international solidarity.”
“Our goal for 2026 is to achieve even bigger goals. We want to give away 1 million 1 free ice creams around the world to spread a little joy on the best unofficial holiday of the year,” Senff added.
Here’s the scoop on Ben & Jerry’s Free Corn Day.
