Now that autumn is officially approaching, we can finally indulge ourselves in all of our favorite pumpkin spice goodies without anyone telling us it’s too early to do so. But while the weather is still relatively warm out, there’s only one thing to do: get our hands on a delectable pumpkin spice frozen treat. Luckily for us, Halo Top just announced that their limited edition Pumpkin Pie ice cream — the brand’s most popular flavor last autumn — has officially returned for 2018. But that’s not all — Halo Top is also giving pints of this seasonal favorite for free.
Halo Top’s seasonal Pumpkin Pie ice cream debuted in 2017; although, it officially became available in stores in August last year, almost a whole month sooner than this year. Now that it’s here, though, we are welcoming this tasty autumn treat with open arms.
According to Bustle, this seasonal ice cream consists of pumpkin spice-infused ice cream, with pieces of actual pie crust sprinkled throughout. PopSugar described Halo Top’s limited edition ice cream as “not too sweet, not too overpowering, and not even the slightest bit artificial — it’s as if you blended an actual pie into a creamy pumpkin milkshake and served it in scoops.” If that makes you want to go to the store ASAP to go and get a pint, you’re in luck, because Halo Top has also blessed us all with a free pint of Pumpkin Pie ice cream.
To celebrate the popular fall flavor’s return, Halo Top is giving out free pints of it. “We’re excited to bring back Pumpkin Pie for our fans, one of our most successful flavors from last fall. It’s the perfect fall flavor, and now our fans can enjoy a free pint on us to welcome our favorite season of the year,” Doug Bouton, President and COO of Halo Top Creamery, said in a statement to Bustle.
Now here’s the scoop on how to score your free pint. According to Food & Wine Magazine, all you have to do is head over to Halo Top’s website starting at midnight EST on Saturday, September 22 and retrieve the coupon. All you have to do is print out the coupon and present it to one of the many retailers nationwide that carry Halo Top, including Target, Kroger and Walmart, to receive your free pint of ice cream. The offer is good only on September 22, which is perfect anyway since it’s the official start of autumn.
There are, of course, some stipulations. As previously mentioned, the coupon must be printed and it’s only redeemable on September 22. In addition, the coupon can’t be combined with any other offers, discounts, or promos, and there is a limit of one pint per customer while supplies last. Lastly, it’s limited to U.S. residents — except in the states of California, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, where customers are limited to dairy-free and vegan-friendly varieties.
There is no word yet on how long the Pumpkin Pie ice cream will be in stores this season, but last year it was in stores through November. In the meantime, we’ll be enjoying all the Pumpkin Pie ice cream we can. Happy almost-fall, y’all!
