LOUISIANA - If you're a Blue Bell fan, there's some sweet news just in time for summer.

One of Blue Bell's most requested seasonal flavors is making a comeback after nearly nine years off store shelves, and fans across Louisiana are already searching freezer aisles to find it.

Blue Bell has announced the return of Red, White & Blue Bell Ice Cream, a patriotic favorite that hasn't been available since 2017. The limited-time flavor is returning as America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary in 2026.

What Is Red, White & Blue Bell Ice Cream?

The flavor is Blue Bell's patriotic twist on traditional Neapolitan ice cream.

Instead of the classic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry combination, Red, White & Blue Bell features:

Strawberry ice cream loaded with real strawberries
Creamy vanilla-flavored ice cream
Blueberry ice cream made with real blueberries

Carl Breed, Blue Bell vice president says via bluebell.com -

We change our lineup each year to keep it fresh and make room for new offerings. It was a unanimous decision to have Red, White & Blue Bell return this year. The patriotic carton and colorful ice cream are perfect to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.

Can You Buy It In Louisiana?

The company says Red, White & Blue Bell is available now in half-gallon cartons, but only for a limited time. Once supplies are gone, there's no guarantee the flavor will remain on shelves.

For Louisiana ice cream lovers, that means if this flavor has been on your wish list since its last appearance nearly a decade ago, you may not want to wait too long to grab a carton.

Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue in Lafayette, spending the holiday on Lake Martin, or gathering with family for fireworks, Red, White & Blue Bell may be one of the easiest ways to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.
