National Grape Popsicle Day - May 27th, 2025

National Grape Popsicle lovers out there, get ready to rejoice because May 27th, 2025, is just around the corner and we can't wait to dive into the sweet, juicy, and colorful world of grape popsicles!

But before we dive into the fun part, let's take a step back and explore the rich history behind this delightful holiday. Did you know that popsicles have been around since 1905 when an 11-year-old Frank Epperson accidentally invented them? Frank left his glass of soda powder and water on the porch with a stirring stick in it, and when he woke up the next morning, the mixture had frozen, creating a popsicle-like delight! And thus, the first popsicle was born!

Fast forward to the 1920s, when Epperson began serving his "Epsicles" at local amusement parks, and it wasn't until 1922 that the term "popsicle" was officially coined. As for grape-flavored popsicles, they became a staple in the 1950s and have since become a beloved classic.

How People Celebrate

So, how do people celebrate this sugary holiday? Well, for starters, it's all about the grape popsicles, of course! Many people stock up on their favorite brand or make their own at home (we'll get to that in a bit). Some families even make it a fun activity and have a popsicle-making station set up with different flavors and toppings, like sprinkles, whipped cream, or even chopped nuts.

Others take it to the next level by hosting grape-themed parties, complete with grape-flavored treats, drinks, and even grape-colored decorations!
