Ben & Jerry’s free bar drop: List of stores, new flavors, and where to find sweet treats nationwide today
Ice cream lovers rejoice: Ben & Jerry’s has something new and exciting to introduce to the world.
The Vermont-based ice cream company announced that it will add ice cream bars to its lineup. The new ice cream bars will be available in these five flavors:
- Caramel Blondie
- Chocolate Fudge Brownie
- Cookie Dough
- PB Pretzel
- Strawberry Cheesecake
A December 10 company news release noted that each ice cream bar “features decadent ice cream, plenty of chunks and swirls, dipped in a chocolatey coating with cookie pieces.”
The new product line will be available at retail stores as soon as January 2026. Each box will feature four ice cream bars. The company will also offer single Cookie Dough ice cream bars, which will be sold at convenience stores beginning next spring.
How can I try the new flavors?
Ice cream lovers don’t have to wait until the new year to try the new ice cream bar flavors.
To celebrate the news, Ben & Jerry’s will be doing a free ice cream “bar drop” at 150 Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops nationwide.
The bar drops are happening today: Wednesday, December 17, 2025, in shops from Los Angeles to New York. More than 20,000 ice cream bars will be given away for free, according to the company.
