Summer's arrival coincides with a delightful national holiday – National Strawberries and Cream Day, celebrated annually on May 21st. This cheerful occasion offers a delicious opportunity for businesses to connect with their customers and boost sales.

A History Dipped in Cream

While the exact origin of National Strawberries and Cream Day remains unknown, its celebration reflects the enduring popularity of this simple yet satisfying dessert.  Strawberries, packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants, have been enjoyed for centuries.  Whipped cream, a delightful invention possibly dating back to the 16th century, perfectly complements the tartness of the berries.  National Strawberries and Cream Day is a delightful way to celebrate this timeless flavour combination.

Celebrating the Sweet Life

National Strawberries and Cream Day is a low-key holiday, perfect for casual celebrations. People might:

  • Indulge at home: Whip up a batch of homemade whipped cream and enjoy it with fresh, seasonal strawberries.

  • Visit local farms or farmers markets: Support local growers and pick your own berries for a fun, family-friendly activity.

  • Dine out: Many restaurants offer special promotions or strawberry-themed desserts on this day.

  • Share on social media: People love posting pictures of their delicious treats using relevant hashtags like #NationalStrawberriesandCreamDay.
