Spring is officially here and if you’re looking for a way to celebrate the change in the season, why not treat the kids to some ice cream, mama?

DQ locations across the country (but not the ones in malls) are giving away free small vanilla cones today, March 20! So pack up the kids and get to a DQ near you.

And if you can’t make it today, from March 21 through March 31, DQ’s got a deal where small cones will be just 50 cents (but you have to download the DQ mobile app to claim that one).

Another chain, Pennsylvania-based Rita’s Italian Ice is also dishing up freebies today, so if DQ’s not your thing you can grab a free cup of Italian ice instead.

We’re so excited that ice cream season is here and snowsuit season is behind us. Just a few short weeks and the kids will be jumping through the sprinklers.

Welcome back, spring. We’ve missed you!
