National Ice Cream Day
Sunday, July 19, 2026
The third Sunday of July is the perfect excuse for an ice cream social at work.
Background
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day, calling ice cream a 'nutritious and wholesome food' enjoyed by the vast majority of Americans.
How to celebrate at work
- Host an ice cream social or bring in a cart on the Friday before.
- Offer dairy-free and lower-sugar options so everyone's included.
- Pair it with an end-of-week team recognition moment.
