This is one of the brand-heavy of the national days, as this is a brand name owned by a company, not a generic one, even if it may have become slightly more generic these days.
Creamsicles® are a brand of ice pop sold by Unilever. Ice pops, which are also known as freeze pops and ice lollies, are commonly known as popsicles in the United States, even though Posicle® is also a Unilever brand name. Posicle® has definitely became a generic name in terms of usage, even if not legally.
Whereas a normal ice pop is simply flavoured, and coloured, frozen liquid on a stick, Creamsicles® are slightly different. They have a frozen flavoured and coloured ice shell, similar to a normal ice pop, but this shell covers an also frozen and flavoured dessert centre, rather similar to ice cream.
There are a variety of recipes for sweet desserts and drinks that have creamsicle in their names, even though these don't actually use Creamsicles® in their creation. Often, it's the combination of orange flavour and frozen dessert that leads the recipes to be named after the snack.
