Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches® and National Park Foundation Bring Campfire Nostalgia to the Freezer Aisle with New S'mores Ice Cream Sandwich

New Target-exclusive flavor inspired by America's outdoor adventures arrives nationwide in early September

RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches^®, the Richmond, Virginia-based maker of chef-crafted ice cream sandwiches, today announced the launch of S'mores, a new limited-edition flavor created in partnership with the National Park Foundation. Available exclusively at select Target stores nationwide beginning in early September, the new flavor celebrates the simple joy of gathering around a campfire and making memories outdoors. Sales from this officially licensed collaboration will support the National Park Foundation, the nation's most trusted way for people to support all of America's national parks.

Inspired by one of America's most beloved treats, S'mores features honey graham cookies sandwiching rich chocolate toasted marshmallow ice cream swirled with ribbons of marshmallow fluff. The flavor captures the nostalgic taste of a perfectly toasted campfire s'more while delivering the elevated ingredients and handcrafted quality that have become synonymous with the Nightingale brand.

For Nightingale CEO and Co-Founder Hannah Pollack, the collaboration is deeply personal. Growing up, some of her favorite memories were made outdoors, and today she remains an avid adventurer with a personal goal of visiting every national park in the United States over the next five years.

"There's something magical about gathering around a campfire at the end of a day spent outdoors," said Hannah Pollack, CEO and Co-Founder of Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches^®. "Whether you're watching the sunset over a mountain range, sharing stories with friends, or making s'mores with your family, those moments stay with you forever. As someone who dreams of visiting every national park in the country, partnering with the National Park Foundation felt incredibly meaningful. We wanted to create a flavor that captures that sense of wonder, adventure, and nostalgia in every bite."

The launch reflects Nightingale's continued commitment to transforming familiar childhood desserts into chef-driven frozen novelties crafted with premium ingredients. Since its founding in 2016, the company has built a devoted following by combining scratch-baked cookies, 14% butterfat ice cream, and handcrafted inclusions inspired by classic American desserts.

The partnership with the National Park Foundation also aligns with a growing consumer desire for products that connect indulgence with meaningful experiences. By celebrating America's national parks and the traditions that bring people together outdoors, the collaboration invites consumers to create new memories while savoring a timeless flavor. "National parks bring people together and inspire a lifetime of unforgettable memories," said Amber Hanna, Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships, Licensing Strategy, at the National Park Foundation. "We're thrilled to partner with Nightingale Ice Cream to capture the iconic outdoor tradition of s'mores and give ice cream lovers a sweet way to support and protect these treasured places for generations to come."

Beginning in early September, S'mores will be available exclusively at select Target locations nationwide while supplies last.
