This Saturday and Sunday, October 24 and 25, 2026, Tiff's Treats is handing out free Tiffwich ice cream sandwiches to kids and teens who walk into any retail location wearing their sports uniform.
The weekend activation is called "Treat the Team," and it was officially announced on October 19, 2026 in a PRNewswire release from the Austin-based warm-cookie delivery brand.
Each qualifying athlete 18 or under gets one free Tiffwich, and — this is the part most parents miss — the athlete can also bring one teammate, parent, or friend who receives a second free Tiffwich at no charge. No purchase, no coupon code, no app signup, and no loyalty-program hoops. Just show up in uniform during normal store hours at any of the brand's 180+ retail locations across the U.S.
The promotion is intentionally timed as a post-game reward for youth sports and team-activity participants. Tiffany Chen, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, put it this way in the release: "We love being part of these everyday traditions and wanted to give young athletes and their supporters a reason to celebrate together with a cold, sweet treat."
This guide walks through exactly who qualifies, how the two-Tiffwich limit works, what counts as a "uniform," where the brand actually operates (it is not coast-to-coast yet), and how to avoid the common mistakes that turn a free deal into a wasted drive.
All facts below are pulled directly from the October 19 PRNewswire release and the Tiff's Treats website.

What Is the Deal, Exactly?
"Treat the Team" is a two-day in-store giveaway at Tiff's Treats brick-and-mortar retail locations. On Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, 2026, any athlete 18 or younger who arrives at a retail location wearing their team or activity uniform can redeem one complimentary Tiffwich® Ice Cream Sandwich.
The athlete may also bring one additional person — described in the release as a "teammate, parent, or friend" — who receives a second complimentary Tiffwich.
"Young athletes who stop by any retail location wearing their uniform can enjoy a free Tiffwich® Ice Cream Sandwich. To make the moment even sweeter, each qualifying athlete can bring along a teammate, parent, or friend to receive a free Tiffwich® as well." — PRNewswire, Oct 19, 2026
The activation runs during normal store hours both days. There is no stated per-store cap, no early-bird cutoff, and no online pre-order path in the release — this is a walk-in, in-store-only promotion tied to the athlete's physical presence in uniform.
What's Free (or Discounted)
The free item is a Tiffwich®, Tiff's Treats' signature ice cream sandwich built around two of the brand's warm, fresh-baked cookies with a scoop of ice cream in between. Per the official brand site, the Tiffwich is normally priced as a made-to-order item, so taking two of them home at zero out-of-pocket cost is the core value of the weekend.
Two Tiffwiches are free per qualifying athlete group:
One for the athlete (must be 18 or under and in uniform).
One for one accompanying guest — teammate, parent, or friend, any age.
There is no minimum purchase, no coupon code to enter, no app download required, and no loyalty-program enrollment mentioned in the release. Additional items — extra cookies, milkshakes, drinks, or a second guest — are not covered and must be paid for at the regular menu price. Customers can browse the full menu and pricing on cookiedelivery.com or through the Tiff's Treats app.
How to Claim It Step by Step
Confirm the date. The free Tiffwich applies only on Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, 2026. It does not roll over to Friday the 23rd or Monday the 26th.
Find a nearby retail location. Use the Tiff's Treats store locator to confirm the closest address is a retail store, not just a delivery-only kitchen. The release specifies the offer is only at retail locations.
Have the athlete wear their uniform. This can be a school or club sports jersey, a rec-league shirt, cheerleading gear, or other team-activity apparel. The release is broad: "kids involved in sports and team activities."
Walk in during normal store hours. No appointment, no pre-order, no mobile-order reserve. The athlete must be physically present and in uniform to redeem, per the release.
Order the free Tiffwich at the counter. Tell the team member you are there for the "Treat the Team" activation. You will receive one free Tiffwich for the athlete and one for the accompanying guest.
Pay for anything else you order. Additional guests, extra cookies, shakes, or drinks ring up at regular menu prices.
Who Is Eligible?
Eligibility is narrow on the athlete side and broad on the guest side, per the October 2026 release.
Athlete: Must be 18 years old or younger, must be present in person, and must be wearing their uniform.
Guest: Any one person accompanying the athlete — teammate, parent, guardian, sibling, or friend. No age limit on the guest.
Group cap: The release allows one free Tiffwich per athlete, plus one for the accompanying guest. A family of three showing up with one uniformed child qualifies for two Tiffwiches total, not three.
Adults who are not accompanying an athlete are not eligible for the free Tiffwich. High-school seniors and college freshman-aged athletes (18 and under) still qualify, but a 19-year-old wearing a team jersey does not — the age cutoff is explicit in the release.
Important Fine Print to Know
Two calendar days only. The offer is valid Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, 2026 during normal store hours. It is not a week-long or month-long promotion.
Retail locations only. The release specifies the activation is at retail locations. Delivery-only kitchens or ghost kitchens that handle cookiedelivery.com orders may not participate — confirm with the store locator before driving.
Athlete must be present and in uniform. The release is explicit: "Athletes must be present and in uniform to redeem." Dropping off a younger sibling in uniform and then leaving does not work.
One Tiffwich per athlete, one per guest. The limit is not per family and not per household. Five uniformed kids in one car still get exactly five athlete Tiffwiches plus five guest Tiffwiches.
No purchase required. The release does not ask for a minimum spend, loyalty enrollment, or app signup. Treat this as a straight walk-in giveaway.
Geography matters. The brand operates 180+ distribution locations across the listed states, but it is densest in Texas and the Southeast. If you are on the West Coast or in the Northeast, check the locator — coverage is thinner and there may not be a participating store within a reasonable drive.
No rain-check. The release does not mention a make-up date for bad weather or store closures. If a local shop closes unexpectedly over the weekend, there is no stated fallback.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a Tiffwich and is it really free?
A Tiffwich® is Tiff's Treats' signature ice cream sandwich: two fresh-baked cookies with a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between them.
Per the October 19 PRNewswire release, each qualifying athlete 18 or under in uniform receives one free Tiffwich, and can bring one guest who also gets a free Tiffwich. There is no purchase required, no coupon, and no app download.
Does my child need a specific sport uniform to qualify?
The release describes eligible participants broadly as "kids involved in sports and team activities." That means school or rec-league sports jerseys, cheerleading uniforms, dance-team attire, martial-arts gis, and similar team-activity apparel all count. The activation is not limited to a single sport or league. The key rules are 18 or under, present in person, and wearing the team uniform at the counter.
How many free Tiffwiches can my family get?
Per the release, the cap is one free Tiffwich per athlete, plus one free Tiffwich for one accompanying guest. A family with two uniformed children in the same car qualifies for two athlete Tiffwiches plus two guest Tiffwiches — four total. Additional guests beyond the "one per athlete" rule must pay full price.
What states and stores actually participate in the offer?
All Tiff's Treats retail locations participate, according to the release. The brand operates 180+ distribution locations across Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado, North Carolina, Florida, Oklahoma, California, Kentucky, New Mexico, Illinois, Nevada, Virginia and more.
Use the store locator on the official site to confirm the closest address is a retail location, not just a delivery kitchen.
Do I need the Tiff's Treats app or a loyalty account?
No. The October 2026 release does not require an app download, loyalty enrollment, email sign-up, or coupon code. This is a straight walk-in, show-up-in-uniform promotion.
If you want to order more items beyond the free Tiffwiches, you can pay at the counter or browse the menu on cookiedelivery.com.
What if it rains or my child's game runs late?
The release does not announce a rain-check or make-up date. The free Tiffwich window is the two-day weekend of October 24–25, 2026, during normal store hours. If a local store closes unexpectedly or the athlete cannot make it, there is no stated fallback in the release — call the store ahead to confirm hours and stock before you drive.

About Tiff's Treats
Tiff's Treats was founded in 1999 in Austin, Texas, by Tiffany Taylor (now Tiffany Chen) and Leon Chen, who were both 19-year-old sophomores at the University of Texas at Austin at the time.
The origin story is part of the brand's DNA: Tiffany accidentally stood Leon up for a date, baked and delivered a batch of warm cookies as an apology, and the concept of warm cookie delivery was born. They launched with $20, a cell phone, and a dream.
Today the brand describes itself as "the original warm cookie delivery company" and has grown to over 180 distribution locations across Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado, North Carolina, Florida, Oklahoma, California, Kentucky, New Mexico, Illinois, Nevada, Virginia and more.
Customers order online at cookiedelivery.com, through the Tiff's Treats mobile app, or by phone. The brand's core mission, per the release, is simply "creating memorable moments." For background on the company's history and growth, see the Wikipedia entry on Tiff's Treats.
