Peppermint Frosty is back at Wendy's: Here's how to get one for free this week

If you enjoy holiday-themed beverages but are tired of pumpkin spice, Wendy's has a new frosty for you to try.

The peppermint Frosty has arrived at Wendy's restaurants nationwide starting Tuesday for a limited time and will replace the pumpkin spice frosty, the company told USA TODAY.

The peppermint beverage was introduced last year for a limited time as the first holiday-themed Frosty the chain added to its menu.

"It's the classic thick and creamy Frosty that our fans crave with bursts of fresh peppermint," said John Li, vice president of culinary innovation at Wendy's, in a news release last year.

The pumpkin spice Frosty made its 2023 debut on Sept. 12, delivering "hints of pumpkin and a blend of warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for a taste of familiar fall flavors in every bite," according to Wendy's.

Along with the pumpkin spice Frosty, the restaurant chain also debuted the pumpkin spice frosty cream cold brew this fall, a drink made with the same syrup from the pumpkin spice Frosty.

"There is no better way to share holiday cheer with our fans than giving the gift of a free Frosty or Frosty Cream Cold Brew," said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. chief marketing officer for Wendy's in the news release.
