National Strawberry Sundae Day Date in the current year: July 7, 2025
July is National Ice Cream Month in the United States, and many food holidays celebrating various types of ice cream and ice cream desserts are observed during this time. For example, July 7 is National Strawberry Sundae Day.A sundae is an ice cream dessert consisting of one or more scoops of ice cream (usually vanilla, though other flavors can be used), topped with fruit syrup or a sweet sauce. Other toppings may include fruit, berries, whipped cream, sprinkles, and maraschino cherries.
Fresh fruit sundaes are especially popular during the summer months. They are made with chopped or sliced seasonal fruit that is sometimes sugared and left to sit for a while to form a sweet syrup. The strawberry sundae is one of the most popular variations of a fresh fruit sundae, so it's no wonder that there is a holiday devoted to it.
To celebrate National Strawberry Sundae Day, visit your favorite ice cream parlor or make a strawberry sundae at home. Here is a recipe for fans of homemade fresh fruit sundaes. Place two small scoops of vanilla or strawberry ice cream in a serving bowl. Add four halved strawberries and drizzle with two tablespoons of strawberry sauce. Top with three quartered marshmallows and a dollop of whipped cream.
