Peach Ice Cream Day
When is Peach Ice Cream Day? This holiday is always on July 17
Peach Ice Cream Day is today. This July 17 holiday is a refreshingly cool, peachy-keen day.
Peaches are one of the best flavors of the summer season. People wait for about 48 weeks for the harvest to ripen. And, when it does, for a few short weeks, it’s “peach everything”! In celebration of the harvest, the ice cream companies make peach ice cream. It’s hard to find other times of the year. Most major ice cream makers only produce it during the summer. It kinda makes you yearn for the old days of HOJO’s 28 Flavors!
Peach Ice cream is the way to go today. Enjoy it on an ice cream cone, in an ice cream soda, in a sundae, or simply in a dish.
Here’s the Scoop: You’ll find Peach Ice Cream Day is one of the best ice cream flavors of all!
