FREE ICE CREAM: On April 8, celebrate Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day by enjoying free ice cream at participating Scoop Shops worldwide.


Hot on the heels of Dairy Queen, Ben & Jerry's has announced the date of its Free Cone Day in 2025.

Lovers of ice cream can get their hands on a free scoop and cone by simply turning up at any participating Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop worldwide from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on April 8. No minimum purchase is required, and Ben & Jerry's have encouraged participants to "get back in line as many times as they’d like." Challenge accepted.

With this kind of free giveaway, there's usually a catch. You're normally limited to one free item per person or you need to make a qualifying purchase. But that's not the case here. Ben & Jerry's annual Free Cone Day aims to spread some joy and thank all the fans out there. So there's nothing stopping you from stocking up on free scoops.

To find your nearest participating Scoop Shop, visit Ben & Jerry's before the big day.
