Informal observance

National Frozen Yogurt Day celebrates frozen yogurt, a frozen dessert made with yogurt and served soft or hard. It falls every February 6.

The day is informal. Day-calendar sites and trade groups list it, but no law or proclamation names it, so it is not a proclaimed holiday. That leaves you free to mark it however you like, with a cup at home or a shared treat at work or school.

Where the day comes from

National Frozen Yogurt Day falls every February 6. It is an informal observance listed by day-calendar sites and trade groups, not a proclaimed holiday. No law or proclamation names it, so there is no official text that sets the date or says how to mark it.

Nobody has pinned down who started it. National Day Calendar lists the day and says it is still researching where it came from. We could not find a founder, a first year or an original sponsor, so we leave those out rather than guess. If you write about the day, that is the honest version of the story: the date is widely listed, and the origin is still open.

The treat itself is easier to describe. Frozen yogurt is a frozen dessert made with yogurt, served soft or hard. For a sense of scale, USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service reports that 34.1 million gallons of frozen yogurt were made in the United States in 2025. That was down 3.9 percent from 2024, according to its Dairy Products 2025 Summary from April 2026.
