There are many firm favourites across Northern Ireland when it comes to shouting your order up at the ‘pokey man’ when he turns up in his ice cream van or when you head to your local shop for an instant cool-down.
From forgotten gems to classics that have stood the test of time, there are plenty of frozen delights that spark joy in even the iciest of months.
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite, nostalgia-inducing ice creams and ice lollies to bring back a few memorable moments.

These flavoured ice lollies are still available for purchase, featuring their perfectly crafted triangular holders. Jubbly ice lollies are a juicy alternative to the Choc Ice for similarly messy eaters who prefer a more fruity concoction. Photo: Iceland

20. Zoom
The predecessor to the Rocket Lolly, the Zoom lolly was a fruit explosion of raspberry, strawberry and banana flavours. This childhood favourite has been discontinued, with fans across the UK and Ireland petitioning for its return to stores. Photo: Bring Back Zoom Ice Lollies on Facebook
