National Whipped Cream Day (United States)

National Whipped Cream Day is celebrated annually on January 5.

History and Significance


  • Founder's Birthday: The date was chosen to honor Aaron "Bunny" Lapin, the founder of Reddi-wip, who was born on January 5, 1914.
  • Innovation: Lapin invented Reddi-wip in 1948, revolutionizing the dessert world by introducing real whipped cream in aerosol cans.
  • Historical Origins: While the modern aerosol version is recent, whipped cream recipes date back to the 16th century. It was historically known as "milk snow" or "snow cream" in Italy and France.
  • Observance: The holiday has been recognized in the United States since at least 1984.
