National Frappe Day

If you’re looking for a little pick-me-up today, you’re in luck! It's National Frappe Day. Traditionally made with coffee, milk and vanilla ice cream, folks have been enjoying this foamy, chilled beverage for decades. Mixed with a cocktail shaker, blender, mixer or frappe maker, today’s frappes are available in a slew of delicious flavors.

While the origins of this food holiday are unknown, National Frappe Day is observed annually on October 4 or October 7, depending on which calendar you prefer. But just for fun, why not celebrate National Frappe Day on both days?

Oct. 7 is also Bathtub Day.
