Following a successful test run last year in Salt Lake City, Chick-fil-A is officially bringing its Autumn Spice Milkshake nationwide.
Starting on Monday, September 12, 2022, Chick-fil-A fans will be able to order the new Autumn Spice Milkshake. This delicious fall-flavored drink combines warm spices like cinnamon with bits of crunchy brown sugar spice cookies. The whole thing is then topped with whipped cream and a sweet cherry. As Beth Hefner of the Chick-fil-A Menu Development Team explains, "It’s been four years since we’ve introduced a new milkshake flavor to our customers. We hope the Autumn Spice Milkshake serves as an exciting kickoff to fall for our customers and that they fall in love with this new tasty treat of the season.”
