National Ice Cream Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of July each year, a delightful occasion that pays homage to one of the most beloved desserts in the world. The origins of this sweet holiday can be traced back to 1984 when President Ronald Reagan declared July as National Ice Cream Month and designated the third Sunday of that month as National Ice Cream Day. This proclamation was part of a broader initiative to promote the dairy industry, which was facing challenges at the time.
