Noah Kahan received the sweetest honor this week when he was presented his very own, custom ice cream flavor by Vermont-based ice cream giant, Ben & Jerry’s.

The Vermont native took to social media to share the news with fans and other than the ice cream — had zero chill. “F***ing pinch me,” Kahan wrote following the announcement of the custom flavor they’re calling, “Northern Latte-tude,” which is inspired by his 2022 track, “Northern Attitude.”
The mix features a maple latte ice cream with graham cracker cookie dough and graham cracker pieces. Making it even sweeter — it was created specifically for Kahan’s Thursday-night (9/19) charity show in Essex Junction, VT, which benefitted his mental-health focused non-profit, Busyhead Project. It’s a day Kahan and the state of VT won’t soon forget as September 19 was also proclaimed “Noah Kahan’s Busyhead Project Day” by Governor Phil Scottin in recognition of the singer’s efforts surrounding mental health.
“It is the most tremendous honor to have September 19th be named Noah Kahan’s Busyhead Project Day in the greatest state in America. I will celebrate by eating Ben & Jerry’s, getting a horrific stomach ache from my lactose intolerance, and then drinking a Heady Topper as the sun sets over the Green Mountains,” said Kahan. “I have been so fortunate to call this place my home, and I will never forget the love and support that the 802 has showed me. There is no combination of words, lyrics, or music that can fully describe the beauty of this place. I will not try to. I am just honored to be able to live here, to breathe the air, to exist in this magical place, and to call it my home. Thank you Vermont for this great honor.”
Following the show, the flavor is now available for a limited time only at Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops in Burlington and Waterbury, VT while supplies last.
