National Creamsicle Day: Cooling Summer Delights & Keeping Kids Safe
Summer isn’t complete without that iconic swirl: creamy vanilla ice cream wrapped in refreshing orange juice on a stick. That’s right—National Creamsicle Day is celebrated each year on August 14, and it’s the perfect excuse to talk about tasty treats and summertime safety for families.
What is National Creamsicle Day?
It’s an annual celebration of one of America’s most nostalgic frozen treats: the creamsicle. A delightful blend of creamy and citrusy, this dessert is a classic way to beat the heat (National Day Calendar).
A Cool History to Savor
Did you know the creamsicle’s celeb story begins with a kid genius? In 1905, 11-year-old Frank Epperson mixed fruit juice and water, forgot it outside overnight, and discovered this frozen creation the next morning. What he’d coined the “Epsicle” later evolved into today’s beloved creamsicle (National Today).
