From ballpark snacks to hometown diner desserts, Kroger Brand's limited-time All-American Ice Cream Collection features three all-new flavors inspired by nostalgic Americana moments.
Kroger is also giving away 100,000 pints of free ice cream to celebrate the summer solstice.
"Summer is all about bringing people together to create memories that last a lifetime, and we're excited to capture that fun and nostalgia through our new All-American Ice Cream Collection," said Ann Reed, Group Vice President of Our Brands at Kroger. "We've loved seeing customers come back year after year for their free pints and now, we're going bigger than ever by giving away 100,000 pints."
From making a road trip diner stop for cherry pie to sharing a banana split after a day in the sun, each flavor is inspired by the traditions and tastes that define an American summer:
- Seventh Inning Swirl: Caramel popcorn flavored ice cream with praline peanuts and caramel swirls.
- Sweet As Cherry Pie: Cherry pie flavored ice cream with tart cherry swirls and pie pieces.
- Banana Split Social: Strawberry banana ice cream with pineapple chunks and chocolate swirls.
The All-American Ice Cream Collection flavors are timeless, but the pints are limited, so be sure to stock up while supplies last.
Ahead of summer solstice on June 21, customers can grab a free pint to enjoy on the longest day of the year by visiting FreeKrogerIceCream.com to download their limited-time, single-use digital coupon, available exclusively on Friday, June 19, 2026, starting at 12pm EST, while supplies last.
