To mark 20 years of making music together, the Jonas Brothers are hitting the stage—and the freezer aisle. The iconic trio has teamed up with Friendly’s Ice Cream to launch a limited-time 20th Anniversary Flavor featuring not one, but three flavors in one tub: Coffee Cookie Crumble, Chocolate Marshmallow, and classic Vanilla.
Each scoop was handpicked by Kevin, Joe, and Nick to reflect their unique personalities. It’s a nostalgic mashup of taste, music, and memories—just in time for summer and their upcoming tour kicking off August 10 at MetLife Stadium.
What’s in the pint?
The three-in-one flavor party isn’t just cute packaging—it’s a flavor story that fans can taste. Here’s what’s inside:
- Kevin’s Coffee Cookie Crumble – A bold coffee ice cream with cookie bits, perfect for caffeine lovers. It’s a nod to those late-night jam sessions and early mornings on the road.
- Joe’s Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl – Rich chocolate ice cream with ribbons of gooey marshmallow. This one’s all about drama and flair—classic Joe.
- Nick’s Vanilla – A smooth, simple vanilla that balances out the bolder picks. Because mastering the basics is an art in itself.
The tub is designed for maximum flexibility—whether you scoop one flavor at a time or mix them up for the full band experience. Ice cream collabs just hit different …sweet, cool, and totally unforgettable!
The Friendly’s connection
This isn’t just a random celeb collab. The Jonas Brothers have a long history with Friendly’s. As kids growing up in New Jersey, the chain was one of their go-to hangouts. It’s where they made some of their earliest decisions as a band—like choosing their name.
“Friendly’s has been part of our story from the very beginning. It’s where we shared some of our earliest moments as brothers and musicians. Launching this ice cream flavor as we celebrate 20 years feels like coming full circle.” Jonas Brothers
This isn’t their first Friendly’s moment, either. In 2023, they launched limited-edition sundaes with the brand. This year’s release is even sweeter—and bigger.
Jonas Brothers serve up ice cream magic
This launch is more than just a frozen treat—it’s a case study in how food brands can collaborate, storytelling, and spark emotion. Here’s why it’s worth paying attention:
- Multi-flavor packaging is trending – Consumers love options. One tub, three experiences? Yes, please.
- Nostalgia sells – Especially when it’s authentic. This collab brings fans back to their own Friendly’s moments.
- Celebrity x heritage brand = gold – Pairing cultural relevance with legacy makes for a powerful combo.
- Limited-time drops build urgency – Smart timing right before tour season and summer snacking.
“It’s incredibly meaningful that after 20 years in the music industry, the Jonas Brothers came back to the ice cream brand that was with them from the beginning. By creating a flavor that represents each brother’s unique personality, we’re giving fans a delicious way to connect with Joe, Kevin, and Nick, as they celebrate this major milestone. Just as their music brings people together, we hope this special ice cream creates sweet moments of togetherness for fans across the country.” Sharon Springborn, senior director of marketing at Dairy Farmers of America.
