Hyderabad witnessed a historic moment as Arun Ice Creams, one of India’s most popular ice cream brands, successfully gathered 5,113 children to create the world’s largest ice cream social party. The event, held on February 6, 2026, resulted in a new Guinness World Record, marking a significant achievement for the homegrown brand on the global stage.
The record-breaking initiative brought together thousands of children who enjoyed a variety of Arun Ice Creams products including blackcurrant and strawberry bars, caramel sandwiches, and chocolate cones, all made with real milk and cream. The participants consumed ice cream continuously for 30 minutes, creating a seamless and coordinated experience that met the strict requirements for the world record attempt.
