Launching the 2023 festive season with a tasty treat, Wendy's has officially announced the comeback of its seasonal favorite, the Wendy's Peppermint Frosty, as a limited-time offering.

Through a press statement, reintroducing the Peppermint Frosty aims to take Wendy's customers on a world of festive joy with every invigorating spoonful of peppermint.

The Peppermint Frosty, a seasonal offering, will be on the menu for the 2023 holiday period, serving as a splendid treat for the winter. Meanwhile, Wendy's Vanilla Frosty will be temporarily unavailable to highlight the Peppermint Frosty.

John Li, Wendy's Global VP of Culinary Innovation, adds a new item to the menu to go with the Peppermint Frosty.

"With the holidays around the corner, it's the perfect time to introduce the all-new Peppermint Frosty Cream Cold Brew together with the return of Wendy's beloved Peppermint Frosty," Li said. "Our fans consistently crave new, innovative Frosty flavors, so we embraced the season's flavor with not one, but two sweet treats to savor throughout the holidays."

The company's website revealed that its Peppermint Frosty has a tasty and creamy texture where customers can enjoy the fresh peppermint in every bite. This one-of-a-kind peppermint treat joins their Classic Chocolate Frosty on menus to celebrate the season.

The sweet signature of Wend's is thick enough to use a spoon and smooth enough to drink through a straw.

Moreover, the Peppermint Frosty is exclusively available at Wendy's restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.

Wendy's states they are constantly exploring limited-time menu additions to their Frosty lineup to bring their fans the most irresistible tastes of the season.

Additionally, for those who crave more, Wendy's offers their Cold Brew using the same delicious syrup from the Peppermint Frosty with Vanilla Frosty creamer. Besides, the peppermint pick-me-up will also be available to order with Wendy's core vanilla, caramel, and chocolate Frosty Cream Cold Brew flavor.

Frosty can be a dessert, drink, or a dip; with its consistency, it is considered a milk shake and soft serve ice cream. It was created to be eaten with a spoon. But depending on the customer's preference, they can also let the frosty melt a bit to enjoy it with a straw.

People also like to dip their Wendy's Hot & Crispy Fries in a Frosty to get the best of both sweet and salty worlds.

This holiday treat returned on November 14, 2023, and is available in four sizes for a limited time. Customers can avail the seasonal treat throughout the holiday, and it's anticipated to be discontinued in early 2024.

Wendy's Frosty History

For over 50 years, Wendy's has served the Frosty Dairy Treat. It was one of five original things on Wendy's menu until now.

This famous treat was created in 1969 by Fred Kappus, CEO of Kappus Company, an Ohio-based company that sells food service equipment, and Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's. Dave was looking for a frozen dairy treat to add to the menu of his new hamburger joint. He believed Fred might know of a recipe since he sold ice cream machines.

The Frosty was born because of that gut feeling. Kappus still sends Frosty machines to Wendy's stores worldwide, even though it's been over 50 years.

Customers can go to the nearest Wendy's or download their app to order this limited holiday treat before this season ends.
