Imagine biting into a new kind of treat that’s about to make your holiday season even sweeter—sounds exciting, right? Well, here’s the scoop: Ben & Jerry’s is stepping up their game with the launch of their brand-new Ice Cream Bars, and the buzz is already building. But here’s where it gets controversial: these aren’t just any bars—they’re a whole new way to enjoy your favorite flavors on the go, and they’re arriving with a splash of generosity that you won’t want to miss.
Starting early next year, in January 2026, Ben & Jerry’s will introduce five irresistible flavors in convenient bar form. You’ll soon be able to indulge in Cookie Dough, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Peanut Butter Pretzel, and Caramel Blondie—all designed to be portable, perfect for busy days or spontaneous cravings. These new treats promise to bring the same rich, creamy goodness of their classic ice cream, but in a handy, snackable size.
And this is the part most people miss—Ben & Jerry’s isn’t just launching these bars quietly; they’re celebrating with some fantastic giveaways that are sure to excite fans. On December 13, the 'Droppin’ Bars' event in Venice Beach offers a unique chance for enthusiasts to be among the very first to taste these new delights, free of charge. Then, on December 17, over 150 Scoop Shops across the country will be handing out complimentary Cookie Dough bars—while supplies last. Over 20,000 bars will be given away in total, so it pays to get to your local shop early to secure yours.
There’s something undeniably appealing about free ice cream, especially when it’s from a beloved brand like Ben & Jerry’s.
