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.
