As the summer heat swelters, there's nothing better than a cool, creamy scoop of ice cream to satisfy your sweet tooth. This Sunday, July 21, marks National Ice Cream Day, a perfect excuse to indulge in your favorite flavors and enjoy some fantastic deals. Whether you’re a fan of classic vanilla, rich chocolate, or adventurous combinations, there's something for everyone to celebrate.

America's Favorite Flavors

Will vanilla be your go-to choice on National Ice Cream Day? If so, you’re not alone. Surveys consistently show that vanilla is America's favorite ice cream flavor. In an analysis by delivery service Instacart from June to August 2023, 29% of ice cream orders included vanilla. This aligns with a 2022 survey by online research firm YouGov, which also found vanilla to be the most-loved flavor.

Following closely behind vanilla, chocolate remains a popular favorite, taking second place in both Instacart orders and YouGov's survey. For those who enjoy a bit of crunch and texture, cookies and cream ranks third in Instacart's list, while mint chocolate chip secures the third spot in YouGov's survey.
