About
As of 2026, it's 89 years old.
The Creamsicle is the Popsicle's classier sibling: vanilla ice cream wrapped in a shell of orange ice, a combination so beloved that 'orange creamsicle' is now a flavor used to sell candles, coffee, and things that have no business tasting like a 1937 ice pop.
It nails the exact taste of a melting orange cream soda, which is to say nostalgia in frozen form, available primarily from a truck playing slightly menacing music.
Cool, citrusy, and creamy at once, the Creamsicle is the rare two-ingredient treat that launched an entire flavor category.
