The Wendy's Peppermint Frosty has been unveiled by the QSR brand as its latest frozen treat arriving just in time for the holiday season to offer patrons a decidedly fresh yet creamy option to try out.
The frozen treat features a creamy base that's infused with ample peppermint flavor to give it an almost candy cane-inspired taste. The menu item is being launched as a replacement to the Strawberry Frosty, which was introduced as a warm weather treat for patrons to enjoy in place of the original Chocolate Frosty.
The Wendy's Peppermint Frosty is launching now at participating locations, but will only be around for a short while. The treat comes as part of wider shift towards festively flavored treats with a summertime inspiration.
