Things are about to get a whole lot more colorful at Cold Stone Creamery.
In celebration of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation’s upcoming The Cat in the Hat, Cold Stone has cooked up a limited-time lineup of treats inspired by everyone’s favorite red-and-white-hatted troublemaker. Available nationwide through December 1, 2026, the collection brings cotton candy, confetti and plenty of sweet chaos to the ice cream counter.
The headliner is The Cat in the Hat’s Cotton Candy Catastrophe, a colorful Creation made with Cotton Candy Ice Cream, OREO Cookies, The Cat’s Confetti Sprinkles and whipped topping. You can make it even more festive by ordering it in a Cat’s Confetti Waffle Bowl or Waffle Cone.

And because apparently one dessert wasn’t enough, there’s also the Cake Full of Things—layers of Red Velvet Cake and Cotton Candy Ice Cream with confetti sprinkles, all wrapped in fluffy white frosting featuring The Cat himself.
The fun extends beyond the freezer case, too. Fans can enter The Cat in the Hat Sweepstakes through November 7 for a chance to win a private hometown screening of the movie, plus a $100 Cold Stone gift card.
It’s colorful. It’s a little chaotic. And honestly, that sounds exactly right for the Cat.
The Cat in the Hat arrives in theaters and IMAX on November 6, 2026, while Cold Stone’s limited-time treats stick around through December 1.
So if you’re looking for an excuse to eat cotton candy ice cream in a giant waffle cone, consider this your invitation.
