Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Cold Stone’s new collab with Supergirl, swooping in with exciting ice cream chaos just in time for summer movie season.

What’s on the menu?
Cold Stone Creamery has teamed up with DC’s Supergirl for two limited-time offerings featuring its new Kettle Corn ice cream. First up is The Supergirl’s Cosmic Kettle Corn Creation, a sweet-and-salty mix of ice cream and caramel corn, topped with caramel and Supergirl sprinkles.
Next is The Supergirl’s Popcorn Supernova shake, which doubles down on the Kettle Corn theme with more caramel corn, whipped cream, and (you guessed it!) more sprinkles.
Together, the desserts sound less like traditional ice cream orders and more like what would happen if someone dumped an entire movie theater snack counter into a mixing bowl – sweet, salty, and a little chaotic in the best way.
Why this works for summer movie season
The collab is perfectly timed for blockbuster season, when food brands lean into pure novelty without needing to justify it too much. People are already primed for big releases, bold flavors, and slightly chaotic treats they wouldn’t normally talk themselves into on a random Tuesday. A dessert that feels like it belongs in a cinema snack lineup – but dialed up to full Cold Stone excess – fits right into that energy.
And while Kettle Corn ice cream probably isn’t becoming anyone’s everyday order, that’s kind of the point. These collabs aren’t about restraint or balance; they’re about seeing how far you can push a familiar flavour before it turns into something else entirely. In this case, that “something else” is caramel, popcorn, sprinkles, and ice cream designed less for subtle enjoyment and more for the kind of reaction that makes you immediately send it to a group chat with a “??!” and yum emojis.
With the new Supergirl film hitting theaters next month, Cold Stone is doing what food brands do best: planting itself right in the middle of the cultural moment before it peaks.
Supergirl would approve (probably)
Whether you see it as genius or slightly unhinged probably depends on your tolerance for sugar and sticky fingers. Either way, Cold Stone is not being shy with the sprinkles… and honestly, it never really is.
The Supergirl creations are available now at Cold Stone Creamery locations nationwide for a limited time. No word yet on exactly when they fly off the menu, so if Kettle Corn ice cream with Supergirl sprinkles is your thing (and honestly, why wouldn’t it be), don’t wait too long – or you’ll be left wondering why you didn’t just give in to the chaos sooner.
