Getting together doesn’t have to be stressful. Think about the parties you enjoyed when you were younger and I bet an ice cream social comes to mind. It was a chance to get together, play games, eat delicious ice cream, and maybe even dance or play music for a bit.
Ice Cream Social – Choose the Right Ice Cream
The star of any ice cream social has to be made from fresh milk and cream that’s rBST-free, with no artificial colors or flavors, and it’s got to be GMO-free. Luckily, DREYER’S SLOW CHURNED® ice cream has all of these features because it’s simply made from real ingredients to be simply delicious.
I scooped the ice cream into plastic serving cups so that on the day of our party, it’s one less thing I’ll need to do. These sundae cups also have inserts so I can put toppings in them and since they’re stored separately, they’ll allow the person enjoying the treat to decide whether or not to pour the topping over their ice cream. Making these individual servings ahead of time makes party day a breeze!
We’ve stocked our freezer with DREYER’S SLOW CHURNED® Caramel Delight Light Ice Cream with its ribbons of golden caramel and DREYER’S SLOW CHURNED® Vanilla Light Ice Cream with flecks of real vanilla bean.
Plus a few fun flavors like Washington Apple Pie with bits of Washington apples and apple pie pieces and Maine Blueberry. My local Walmart store has plenty of variety in stock; it was hard not to bring them all home with me.
You can visit your local Washington State Walmart on 6/30 or 7/2 (depending on location – check your store’s demo schedule here) where they’ll be demoing this smooth and creamy ice cream so you can try it for yourself, or just trust me, it’s fantastic and treat yourself to a pint or two!

We just had an ice cream social for our whole neighborhood last night and we had so much fun, we will probably do it again!
This is the perfect printable to have if you’re planning to put up a dessert bar during a barbecue or a picnic! It’s something that both the kids and the adults will love. I really like DIY decor, this is right up my alley!
We haven’t tried Dreyers, I hope we have this brand in our place. Looks really yummy
I had an ice cream social last summer and it was so much fun! The kids and the neighbors really loved it.
The summertime is perfect for icecream parties! Thanks for sharing the free printables!
We love ice cream and this looks so delicious easy and fun for summer. My girls would love this!
Between Dreyer’s and Breyer’s, I would choose this one! They always have that quality that I’m looking for in an ice cream. I bet your husband secretly wants to “secure” his own cup of it, haha!
I like to have an ice cream social party. Sounds like an ice cream booth will be perfect for my son’s birthday!
What a fun idea. I love ice cream… especially in the summer, winter, fall and spring… anytime ice cream is a great treat!
This sounds so good. I’d love to try Dreyer’s Caramel Delight. An ice cream social would be fun!
The title of this post caught my attention right away! LOL Love ice cream and try to enjoy it whenever possible.
Dreyer’s is one of the best brands of ice cream. My family loves ice cream and we usually keep some in the house. I will definitely be picking up some Dreyer’s Slow Churned ice cream soon.
We have at least one ice cream party every summer and find that offering various flavors is key. I plan to pick up some of that Washington Apple Pie variety next time I’m at the store.
I love ice cream! They don’t have that brand where I live but it looks yummy!
There’s nothing like an ice cream social. I love having ice cream parties during the summer. Great way to beat the heat.
You had me at ice cream! I love Dreyer’s ice cream – yum!
I love this idea! Is there anything that isn’t better with ice cream? No. The answer is no.
Ha! The “ice cream security” made me laugh. Great photo! #client
