Get ready for a scoop of pure magic, Colorado Springs! Our favorite local creamery, Josh & John’s, just teamed up with 98.9 Magic FM to whip up a brand-new, mystical ice cream flavor inspired by Benson Boone’s hit. Lemon cake, blueberry swirls, and a touch of enchantment—who’s ready to try ‘Moonbeam Ice Cream’ and support a great cause?
An exciting culinary and auditory fusion is set to captivate Colorado Springs as local favorites Josh & John’s Ice Cream and 98.9 Magic FM announce a unique collaboration. This partnership brings forth a brand-new, limited-edition ice cream flavor, promising a blend of local charm and musical inspiration. The city eagerly anticipates this local collaboration, which highlights the vibrant spirit of the community and its businesses.
Named “98.9 Magical Mystical: Moonbeam Ice Cream,” this innovative treat is far more than just a dessert; it’s a sensory experience. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the flavor profile includes zesty lemon cake, delicate blueberry swirls, and crunchy white chocolate chips, creating a harmonious blend that tantalizes the taste buds.
The inspiration for this mystical magical creation stems directly from the popular artist Benson Boone and his hit song “Mystical Magical.” Specifically, a poignant lyric from the song—”you can feel like Moonbeam ice cream”—served as the muse for the collaboration, connecting music fans with a tangible, delicious experience.
Jeff Haber, Program Director and afternoon on-air talent for 98.9 Magic FM, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration. He noted the serendipitous alignment of Boone’s song title with the radio station’s identity, emphasizing the perfect synergy that led to bringing the “Moonbeam Ice Cream” lyric to life through a beloved Colorado Springs institution.
To commemorate the official release, 98.9 Magic FM will host a special event at Josh & John’s downtown location on Friday, September 5. This launch party offers attendees the exclusive opportunity to be among the first to sample the new flavor and even win tickets to Benson Boone’s upcoming concert at Ball Arena, enhancing the excitement around this Colorado Springs food event.
Following the downtown launch, “98.9 Magical Mystical: Moonbeam Ice Cream” will be available at all Josh & John’s locations throughout Colorado Springs while supplies last. Due to the anticipated demand and its limited-edition nature, the flavor is expected to sell out quickly, making early tasting a priority for local residents and visitors alike.
Beyond indulging in a delightful new flavor, patrons will also contribute to a meaningful cause. For every pint of “Moonbeam Ice Cream” sold, $1 will be donated to a dedicated Colorado Springs charity. This initiative aims to empower local students, helping them achieve their dreams and fostering community support through a sweet treat.
Brandon Dale, an operator at Josh & John’s, underscored the significance of the partnership. He highlighted how this special collaboration perfectly encapsulates their shared passion for creativity and community connection, promising a truly one-of-a-kind treat that no one will want to miss. This initiative reinforces the strong bonds within the Colorado Springs business landscape.
