Here’s the latest on Kawartha Dairy ice cream and The Tragically Hip, based on recent reports:
-
The Tragically Hip have teamed up with Kawartha Dairy to release a limited-edition flavour called The Tragically Chip, described as maple whisky-flavoured ice cream with dark chocolatey chunks and a black cherry ripple. It launches on June 22 and is available at Kawartha Dairy stores and select grocers, with profits supporting Breakfast Club of Canada. [Sources include CTV News, Global News, Exclaim!, and iHeartRadio coverage from May 2026.][2][4][5][7]
-
The collaboration is positioned as a Canada Day-time limited run, intended to celebrate Canadian themes and the Hip’s connection to Canadian identity, rather than a permanent addition to the lineup.[4][5]
-
Media coverage highlights the charitable component, with a portion of sales supporting Breakfast Club of Canada, and notes the renewal of Hip fandom in the run-up to Canada Day.[5][2]
If you’d like, I can pull exact store locations, official launch dates, and a list of participating grocers, or summarize fan reception and early sales signals from Canadian outlets. Would you like a concise bullet-point quick summary or a side-by-side comparison table of key details?
