In 2011, Halo Top started with a craving and the desire for a light ice cream that was creamy, delicious and lower in calories.

From the beginning, Halo Top has taken a different path. While most ice cream brands hide their calorie counts, we put ours right on the front: big, bold, and impossible to miss. It was about transparency and offering a dessert that fits seamlessly into people’s routines. Word spread quickly, and by 2017 Halo Top became the number one selling pint of ice cream in America. TIME even named us one of the Top Inventions of the Year.

What started as a simple idea turned into something bigger: a feel-good treat designed to brighten everyday moments and bring a little joy to your routine. Just really good ice cream that fits effortlessly into your life.

In 2019, Halo Top joined forces with Wells Enterprises, the largest family-owned ice cream maker in the U.S. Since then, we’ve expanded our reach, strengthened our operations, and continued to innovate.

We’ve always focused on balance and empowerment, encouraging people to indulge carefree. In 2022, we made our pints even creamier while keeping all the benefits Halo Top lovers expect: fewer calories and less sugar than other leading brands, with a good source of protein.

And in 2025, we took indulgence to a new level with our most exciting innovation yet, pints with mix-ins in every bite. Think decadent brownie chunks, gooey fudge swirls, and all the creamy goodness you crave, crafted with half the calories of other leading brands. It’s everything you love about Halo Top, now with even more delight.

Today, Halo Top continues to redefine what a feel-good treat can be: light ice cream that’s creamy, delicious, packed with protein, and made for carefree indulgence. A dessert that fits your day, your routine, and your cravings, without overthinking any of it. Treat yourself and dig into carefree indulgence, one spoonful at a time.
