McDonald's Japan is kicking off the holiday season in a big way with the launch of its latest seasonal sipper: the Orange Chocolate Frappe.
A delicious take on that classic holiday flavor combination of chocolate and orange, the new Orange Chocolate Frappe combines cocoa powder with milk and ice, and then tops it all off with a slightly pulpy orange sauce and whipped cream. There are also some white and milk chocolate shavings added on top for extra chocolate flavor.
If the Orange Chocolate Frappe isn't up your alley, McDonald's is also serving up a White Chocolate Snow Frappe made from chocolate chocolate and a Chocolate Berry Latte made with espresso, steamed milk, and raspberry sauce.
All three are available now for a limited time from participating McDonald's locations in Japan.
