Get the scoop on Ben & Jerry’s sweetest tradition come 8 April at VivoCity
Ice cream lovers, mark your calendars: Ben & Jerry’s annual Free Cone Day is back this 8 April, offering sweet relief in the form of free scoops from 12pm to 8pm at its VivoCity Scoop Shop.
This long-standing tradition—born in 1979 as a humble thank-you gesture from co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield—has since grown into a global celebration, now spanning over 35 countries. What began in a converted gas station in Vermont has evolved into a yearly ritual for fans who turn up for a free cone (or several) of the brand’s famously chunky, swirly flavours.
A Million Scoops of Thanks
Last year’s Free Cone Day saw fans showing up in droves, resulting in over 1 million scoops handed out worldwide. That’s enough to form an ice cream trail stretching 130 kilometres. This year, Ben & Jerry’s is setting its sights just as high, aiming to dish out even more creamy gratitude to its loyal fans.
Where and How to Join the Fun
Singaporeans can get in on the action at Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop at VivoCity (1 HarbourFront Walk, #02-K1).
Just join the line, pick your favourite flavour—from classics like Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough to Scoop Shop exclusives like Berry Berry Extra Ordinary or non-dairy delights such as Strawberry Cheezecake—and enjoy.
And yes, going back for seconds (or thirds) is encouraged. Most flavours are halal-certified too, ensuring there’s something for just about everyone.
More Than Just Ice Cream
While Free Cone Day is undoubtedly about indulgence, it’s also about connection. “It’s our way of saying thank you to the community that’s supported us through the years,” says a spokesperson for the brand. “This day is about joy, gratitude, and of course—great ice cream.”
Whether you’re a long-time fan or just ice-cream-curious, 8 April offers a chance to share a scoop (or several) and be part of a tradition that’s as feel-good as it is delicious.
