Blue Bell Ice Cream has announced the release of its newest flavor, Honey Vanilla. The rich, creamy ice cream blends the mild sweetness of honey with classic vanilla. The new flavor will be available in pint sizes at most grocery stores starting this Thursday, though it may only be on shelves for a limited time.

Why it matters

Blue Bell is a beloved regional brand, and the release of a new flavor is always an exciting event for the company's loyal customers. The combination of honey and vanilla is a classic flavor pairing that is likely to appeal to a wide range of ice cream lovers.

The details

According to Blue Bell's vice president of sales and marketing, Carl Breed, the Honey Vanilla flavor "was created to enjoy on its own, but it also pairs well with desserts like cookies, cakes and brownies." The new flavor will be joining another recent Blue Bell release, the returning fan-favorite Java Jolt, which features dark chocolate chunks and a coffee fudge swirl.

• The new Honey Vanilla flavor will be available in pint sizes at most grocery stores starting on Thursday, February 26, 2026.
• The limited-edition Java Jolt flavor is also returning to stores this month.

What’s next

Blue Bell has not indicated if the Honey Vanilla flavor will become a permanent addition to their lineup or if it will only be available for a limited time.
