Wendy’s Is Releasing an All-New Frosty for the Holidays

We know that your Halloweekend was likely filled with eating as many pumpkin-shaped candies as possible, making cookies with your leftover trick-or-treating stash, and buying the store out of all the discounted goodies. But, we hope you had your fill of Halloween because in the fast food world, it’s Christmastime. 

Some people—including foodies—might argue that Thanksgiving doesn’t get enough love in the quick transition, but you can still grab the GetGo Pilgrim sub on your way to the first Starbucks Sugar Cookie Latte of the season.

Even before Halloween, this year, we saw quite a few new holiday-themed menu items on the scene—like Dairy Queen’s Peppermint Bark Blizzard and Holiday Nog Shake. Now, Wendy’s is declaring that it’ll be an extra frosty holiday season with the launch of its all-new Frosty flavor.

Wendy’s is debuting a new Snickerdoodle Cookie Frosty Fusion and Snickerdoodle Frosty Swirl.

Wendy’s Releases New Snickerdoodle-Flavored Frostys

This year has been all about the new Frosty Fusions and Frosty Swirls that the chain introduced in early spring. Now, for the first time, Wendy’s will add a limited-edition, seasonal Frosty Fusion and Frosty Swirl to menus, joining the strawberry, caramel, and brownie batter flavors.

The new Snickerdoodle Cookie Frosty Fusion combines the warm, cinnamon-sugar flavors of the classic holiday cookie with your choice of Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty. The Frosty is swirled with an all-new Snickerdoodle sauce—hopefully, similar in texture to the original Thin Mints Frosty, which had a cookie butter-like swirl that was both smooth and crunchy.

You can choose to leave the Snickerdoodle Frosty Swirl as-is, with just the cookie-flavored swirl, or you can opt to add crunchy snickerdoodle cookie pieces on top with the Snickerdoodle Cookie Frosty Fusion. 

Sadly, for OG Wendy’s flavored-Frosty fans, the Peppermint Frosty won’t be making a return this year. Because most Wendy’s locations only have two Frosty machines, and the chocolate and vanilla flavors are pertinent for making the Frosty Fusions and Frosty Swirls, Wendy’s can’t bring back its traditional Frosty flavors, like pumpkin spice, strawberry, and triple berry, unless all restaurants get a third Frosty machine just for those flavors.

Don’t mourn the Peppermint Frosty’s demise for too long, though, because all four new options, the Snickerdoodle Cookie Vanilla Frosty Fusion, Snickerdoodle Cookie Chocolat Frosty Fusion, Snickerdoodle Vanilla Frosty Swirl, and Snickerdoodle Chocolate Frosty Swirl, are available at Wendy’s restaurants across the U.S. now. They’ll only be served for a limited time, however, so don’t let the holiday season melt away without trying the newest Frosty addition.
