Festive Milkshake Promotions

This Chain is Celebrating St. Patrick's Day with Discount Shakes

While many people associate St. Patrick's Day with green beer and corned beef, Sonic is celebrating the annual Irish holiday with discount shakes. Although the shakes may not be green, the creamy treat still provides a delicious way to enjoy the special day.

On March 17th, 2016, Sonic will offer its entire shake selection for half price. There are 23 different varieties of shakes to choose from, meaning there is something to suit every customer's preferences. The promotion also includes Sonic's new Creamery Shakes, which are made with slow-churned ice cream. The promotion will run all day, however the brand is offering the same deal on discount shakes after 8PM until the end of the summer.

For those looking for an alternative to green beer, Sonic's St. Patrick's Day promotion provides the perfect solution.
