The holiday season is *almost* here and Wendy’s is gearing up with four new items for November, including a peppermint-flavored Frosty! The iconic fast food chain will debut their minty milkshake across many nationwide locations as early as November 15th, according to leaks on Reddit and TikTok by fans, and an internal document that was reportedly leaked to The Fast Food Post, as well.
Wendy’s customers are saying goodbye to the company’s Strawberry Frosty, which will soon be replaced by the new wintry one, and many fans on Twitter and elsewhere are expressing their excitement regarding the news. Here’s what we know about the upcoming treat:
@snackolator I can’t wait for peppermint season and really excited that we’re getting a new Frosty for the holidays from Wendy’s. Let me know if you are going to try this one – it will replace the Strawberry frosty and I think will be amazing – the Peppermint and Gingerbread themes at Christmas are the best. #wendys #wendysfrosty #Frosty #wendyslife #fastfoodlife #peppermint #icecreamtok #frosties #newfood #foodnews #snacktok #icecream #junkfood #greenscreen ♬ Christmas Bells – Nature Sound
Wendy’s Is Swapping Their Strawberry Frosty For Peppermint
Just in time for snow days and festive activities, Wendy’s lovers will soon be able to sip on a peppermint-flavored version of their favorite shake. If you already love the vanilla-flavored Frosty drink from the chain, you might find this new edition tempting. The Peppermint Frosty will be made with a classic vanilla Frosty base mixed with peppermint syrup.

According to the leaked company memo, the vanilla Frosty flavor won’t return to Wendy’s menus until sometime early in 2023. Instead of bringing back the Vanilla Frosty, Wendy’s is aiming to replace the new Strawberry Frosty with the Peppermint one as colder weather approaches.

Fan Reactions
Popular TikTok creator @snackolator was one of the first to break the news of the Peppermint Frosty’s arrival to a wide audience last week. As seen from their comment section, Wendy’s customers are elated at the idea of the new drink. “Excittttted! I love peppermint ice cream!” one user wrote, as another joked, “I’ll be there daily.”
Another fan commented, “Definitely trying the peppermint frosty” while someone else introduced a clever idea, replying, “Do you think they’d do half peppermint half chocolate ? Id probably cry tbh.” (Us too!) Other Twitter users recently shared their excitement for the Peppermint Frosty as well:

What Else Is Coming To The Wendy’s Menu?
Three other exciting options will soon be hitting a Wendy’s near you apart from the Peppermint Frosty as part of Wendy’s ‘Made to Crave’ menu. This includes two delicious upcoming ‘Italian Mozzarella’ sandwiches: the Italian Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich and Cheeseburger, and garlic fries for a new side dish as well.

According to The Fast Food Post, these four new menu offerings will be found at participating Wendy’s locations nationwide, for a “limited time” starting November 15th. The publication also writes that some locations are already offering the new ‘Made to Crave’ sandwiches, “now in advance of the official release date.”
