The yearly tradition brings joy to the world, one scoop at a time.
Get ready for the sweetest day of the year! Ben & Jerry’s just announced that Free Cone Day is happening on Tuesday, April 8, 2025—and they’re serving up free scoops at Scoop Shops worldwide. And you can grab as many free cones as your heart (and stomach) desires!
A Tradition Built on Gratitude
What started in 1979 as a simple “thank you” to Ben & Jerry’s fans has turned into a global celebration spanning 35+ countries. Co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield launched the first Free Cone Day from their Burlington, Vermont, Scoop Shop after surviving a brutal Vermont winter. Fast forward to today, and millions of ice cream lovers now flock to Ben & Jerry’s locations worldwide to enjoy a free scoop in the name of community and gratitude.

Flavors to Look Forward To
Last year, fans helped scoopers serve up over 1 million cones—enough to create an 80-mile ice cream trail if laid end to end! This year, Ben & Jerry’s is going just as big. And the best part? You can get back in line as many times as you’d like.
On April 8, head to a participating Scoop Shop and take your pick from a variety of flavors, including Non-Dairy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. To locate a participating Scoop Shop and check hours, visit BenJerry.com.
