TL;DR: Ben & Jerry's is launching Ice Cream Bars. More than 150 Scoop Shops are handing out free Cookie Dough bars on Dec. 17.

We're coming at you with a double dose of good news.

First, you should know that Ben & Jerry's is officially launching Ice Cream Bars. This exciting new product line features five delicious flavors arriving as soon as January 2026. We're getting Cookie Dough, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Peanut Butter Pretzel, and Caramel Blondie in handy-on-the-go-bars. What a time to be alive.

But that's not all. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Ben & Jerry's is hosting some huge giveaways. On Dec. 13, the Droppin' Bars event in Venice Beach provides an awesome opportunity for fans to get the very first free try of the Ice Cream Bars. Then on Dec. 17, over 150 participating Scoop Shops nationwide will be handing out free Cookie Dough bars (while supplies last).

Over 20,000 of these new bars are being given away in total. Get to your nearest location nice and early to avoid missing out.
