August 26: Cherry Popsicle Day (United States)

National Cherry Popsicle Day is observed worldwide every August 26, celebrating the delightful frozen treat known as cherry popsicles. This day encourages people to indulge in cherry-flavored popsicles, which are made by freezing cherry juice or any cherry-flavored beverage. While store-bought popsicles are popular, many celebrate by making homemade versions, often incorporating ingredients like coconut milk or Greek yogurt mixed with fresh or frozen cherries. The name "popsicle" has become a generic term for ice pops due to the brand's popularity in the United States and Canada. To commemorate the day, individuals can try a simple recipe that involves blending defrosted frozen cherries and combining them with yogurt and honey before freezing them in molds.
