Did you know that July 17th is a huuuuuuge holiday?!
Okay, maybe not as huge as Halloween or Christmas…but it’s a big deal to us. That’s because it’s National ICE CREAM Day! It couldn’t be hitting at a better time, as the heat has us dragging, and who couldn’t use a cold treat right now? And, of course, we would be doing you a big disservice if we didn’t share ways to celebrate — we are Disney FOOD Blog, after all. So, without further delay, here are 6 ways to celebrate National Ice Cream Day!
Salt & Straw Perfume
Yes, you absolutely read that right. PERFUMES are coming to Salt & Straw, and they launch on National Ice Cream Day! These aren’t perfumes you wear (although you can) — they’re edible and create an “all-sensory” ice cream experience. And, if you want to try it out before you buy, take advantage of the special National Ice Cream Day offer Salt & Straw shared on Instagram:
Grab a scoop at any Salt & Straw location, and you’ll receive a complimentary spritz of one of their perfume flavors: Cloud of Cocoa, Swoon of Citrus, and Plume of Blooms. So, if you’re looking for an innovative, unique way to celebrate the day, visit Salt & Straw!

Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Sandwiches
If you’re looking for a simple way to celebrate the holiday (with a touch of Disney magic), you can pick up a box of Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Sandwiches from Target! These cookies ‘n cream sandwiches are shaped like a Mickey head…and we all know Mickey head snacks are supreme.
You can snag a box at Target if it’s in stock at your local store!

DoorDash
Of course, you don’t have to leave the house to grab ice cream, thanks to grocery delivery services. And, if you add a pint of ice cream to any DashMart, grocery, or convenience order of $20 or more, you can use code “ICECREAM5” to get $5 off!
