Kicking off the 2023 holiday season with some deliciousness, Wendy’s announced the official return of its limited-time menu item Peppermint Frosty. 

In a press release, Wendy’s revealed it brought back the Peppermint Frosty to transport its fans to a “world of holiday cheer” in every refreshing peppermint spoonful.

According to the company’s menu, Peppermint Frosty consists of Vanilla Frosty with peppermint syrup that consists of pure cane sugar. “Frosty is all dressed up for the holidays and bringing some cool peppermint flavor to the party—because warm and cozy is overrated,” the description reads. 

The Peppermint Frosty is a limited-time menu item. It will be available throughout the 2023 holiday season as an amazing winter treat. However, to focus on the Peppermint Frosty, Wendy’s Vanilla Frosty will be temporarily unavailable.

John Li, Global VP of Culinary Innovation at the Wendy’s Company, introduces a new menu item 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 shared. “Our fans consistently crave new, innovative Frosty flavors, so we embraced the flavor of the season with not one, but two sweet treats to savor throughout the holidays.”
