Beginning today and running until January 7, IHOP is introducing a range of new food and beverage choices to celebrate the movie Wonka.

This special menu includes imaginative offerings such as Willy's Jr. French Toast Dippers and the Dreamy Lemonade.

Also, kids 12 and younger can eat for free every day from 4 to 10 p.m. as long as an adult entrée is bought. The offer is exclusively for dine-in customers.

IHOP Highlights Joy with New Wonka Menu

"IHOP, renowned for its creativity and collaboration in family dining, has launched its most imaginative menu yet, inspired by the story of Willy Wonka," said Chief Marketing Officer Kieran Donahue.

She added that they believe in the power of dreams to create good things in the world. With this original and innovative menu, they aim to spread more happiness daily and unite families over meals, whether it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

The "largest menu evolution ever" launched in early April was just one of many new items IHOP added this year. Today, that creativity continues with a limited-time selection based on Warner Bros. Pictures' "Wonka," which stars Timothée Chalamet and comes out in theaters on December 15.

Moreover, the movie "Wonka" is about a young Willy Wonka who wants to open his famous chocolate plant. Donahue says this collaboration is "the brand's most creative partnership yet."

IHOP has done movie-related deals before. Even better, this is not the first movie IHOP has worked with this year. In early 2023, the chain teamed up with Marvel Studios to give free movie tickets to "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania" to anyone who paid $30. In 2022, the chain released a Minions menu to accompany the release of "Minions: The Rise of Gru."

IHOP's latest menu, inspired by the upcoming Wonka movie, introduces eight new items. Among these is Wonka's Perfectly Purple Pancakes, a vibrant dish of purple buttermilk pancakes layered with cheesecake mousse, purple cream cheese icing, whipped cream, and gold glitter sugar.

Another highlight is the Hoverchoc Pancake Tacos, consisting of three chocolate pancakes filled with chocolate chips, cheesecake mousse, strawberries, and chocolate drizzle. The Daydream Berry Biscuit features a buttermilk biscuit filled with cheesecake mousse, mixed berry topping, purple cream cheese icing, and powdered sugar.

The Jr. Magical Breakfast Medley for younger patrons includes a Wonka's Perfectly Purple Pancake, scrambled egg, bacon strip, and sausage link. Willy's Jr. French Toast Dippers offer sliced French toast with strawberries, banana, and chocolate sauce for dipping.

The menu also boasts the Fantastical Wonka Burger, a culinary adventure with a USDA Choice Black Angus steakburger, a blend of four cheeses, avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, fried hash browns, IHOP sauce, and a ranch drizzle, all served on a brioche bun.

In addition to these dishes, IHOP introduces new beverages. The Dreamy Lemonade is a prickly pear-flavored lemonade with a cream cheese icing and rainbow sprinkle rim, topped with cotton candy. The Scrumdiddlyumptious Strawberry Hot Chocolate combines hot chocolate with strawberry syrup, whipped topping, chocolate sauce, and gold glitter sugar, creating a delightful treat.
