Free Carvel Ice Cream Day Is A Holiday We All 'Scream' About

Kick off the start of ice cream season with free soft serve ice cream from Carvel. Carvel's official Free Cone Day is April 30, so mark your calendars and head to your friendly neighborhood Carvel for some free ice cream cones. You'll be able to get a free junior cone in vanilla, chocolate, or Nutella. Swirl isn't mentioned, but we hope that if you ask nicely, you can get a combo deal. But hurry up, because you'll only be able to get your free soft serve between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. at participating Carvel locations.

Perhaps just as important as free ice cream is the cause Free Cone Day supports: the American Red Cross. Carvel will be selling a $2 coupon book on April 30 that's filled with $20 worth of savings. All proceeds go toward a $20,000 donation for the Red Cross disaster relief fund. Of course, this is especially helpful in light of the recent Nepal earthquake that has already claimed thousands of lives.

"Free Cone Day is always an exciting time but this year is extra special because guests can try our wildly popular soft ice cream made with Nutella, absolutely free," said Carvel president Scott Colwell. "We hope everyone visits their nearest participating Carvel shop to enjoy our delicious ice cream and help us support the American Red Cross."

Free Nutella ice cream for a good cause? We give it two thumbs way, way up.
