Festive Blended Milkshakes

Smashburger Releases Two Limited-Time Holiday Milkshakes

— November 20, 2021 — Lifestyle
Smashburger, the popular restaurant chain for fresh, homemade burgers, has announced two blended milkshakes just in time to enhance festive holiday celebrations. The 'Peppermint Hot Chocolate Shake' and the 'Gingerbread Holiday Shake' are flavor-packed shakes that retail for $5.99.

The Peppermint Hot Chocolate Shake is made with 'Ghirardelli' peppermint hot cocoa and Haagen-Dazs ice cream, making it a high-quality shake. This shake blends flagship products from iconic dessert brands and adds a whipped-cream topping sprinkled with peppermint candies for a festive taste.

The Gingerbread Holiday Shake similarly incorporates famous Haagen-Dazs ingredients. With a vanilla ice cream base and gingerbread crumbles throughout the entire shake, including the topping, this holiday shake is the perfect holiday snack for the gingerbread fan.
