About National Strawberry Sundae Day
When is National Strawberry Sundae Day? This holiday is always celebrated on July 7
It’s time to harvest strawberries. So, it is only appropriate that today is National Strawberry Sundae Day. On this July 7 holiday, we have the opportunity to get our fill of this delicious dessert. Strawberries are one of America’s favorite fruits. When the strawberries ripen each year, it’s time to celebrate. Many communities hold strawberry festivals to celebrate the harvest. At the festivals, strawberries take center stage. They are in the ingredients of hundreds of recipes.
After the harvest has come and gone, summer arrives with heat and humidity. This is the perfect time to add sweet, tasty berries to ice cream for a cooling summer treat. Don’t forget to add your favorite toppings. Whipped cream is a must. Chocoholics will love it with a little chocolate syrup topping.
Celebrate today, with a Strawberry Sundae.
