Where is National Ice Cream Day celebrated?
National Ice Cream Day falls on the third Sunday of July annually in the USA.
The reason behind celebrating the day is to enjoy different recipes and flavors of ice cream. It is an accepted and renowned fact that ice cream is favorite to almost everyone, be it chocolate chip, cookie dough, or vanilla bean. Since its delicacy is loved by everybody all over the world, it is believed that it took almost 250 years for ice cream recipes to come to North America.
President Ronald Reagan officially declared the day in 1984.
At that time, the day was to be celebrated only once, that is, on July 15, 1984. But the ice cream industry has decided to continue the tradition annually since then.
He desired to celebrate a treat enjoyed by more than 90% of the population of the USA. In 1984, President Reagan announced a day for ice cream, and his declaration essentially glorified the American dairy sector.

They could make the dessert, share it with family and friends, and take their opinions on baking. One can also spread about the celebration photos and ideas on social media accounts using #IceCreamDay on the posts. Furthermore, one could also create their own ice cream bowl.
