Is there anything better than getting ice cream on a hot, summer day? Not really. Well, July is National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of July is always National Ice Cream Day, and there are a few places you can score deals to make sure you celebrate accordingly.

Whether you like vanilla, chocolate, cookie dough or rocky road, it really doesn't matter, as long as you get your hands on some ice cream, your day is guaranteed to be better, especially if it's free!

Here are all the places you can get yourself a free cone July 19. Some do require you buy one first, so grab a friend and head down to your favorite ice cream shop to cool down in the best way possible this Sunday.

Carvel will be offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal on their soft-serve ice cream. With the purchase of a cup or cone of any size, you will get one free.

Baskin-Robbins will be offering a free waffle cone upgrade if you order a double or triple scoop purchase, and this deal will be going on until the end of July. And, on July 31, to celebrate its 70th birthday, the company will be taking 31 percent off ice cream sundaes.

Friendly's buy one cup or cone, get one free deal will be going on all weekend since Saturday is Friendly's 80th birthday.

Cold Stone Creamery also has a buy-one-get-one-free deal, but you have to be a member of its free rewards club,  My Cold Stone Club. This deal applies to ice cream "creations," as well as shakes, smoothies and frappes.

If you're lucky enough to live near a Dippin' Dots, employees will be handing out free samples of the new Redberry Sherbert flavor, which is made with pieces of Sour Patch Kids.

Marble Slab Creamery is offering a deal that is going on the entire month of July: If you use the Happy Rewards app, you get $3 off your entire purchase.

Graeter's will be offering $1.45 cones Sunday to celebrate their 145th birthday, which happens to fall right on the National day this year.

Since Dairy Queens are all independently owned and operated, each one will be doing something different, if anything at all. Call your local shop to find out if it is offering any deals on Sunday.

Breyers will be hosting Sundae Funday at nine Six Flags theme parks, offering the first 200 guests between noon and 5 p.m. a free upgrade to a sundae if they purchase a double scoop of ice cream.
