Halloween Movie-Honoring Shakes

Carvel's New Hocus Pocus Shake Pay Homage to the Sanderson Sisters

Spooky season has officially arrived and Carvel is celebrating with a scary-good new 'Hocus Pocus Shake.'

This Halloween season, Carvel teamed up with Freeform to celebrate the network’s annual '31 Nights of Halloween' movie lineup. One of the movies included is Disney’s 'Hocus Pocus,' which serves as the inspiration for Carvel's latest creation. The new Hocus Pocus Shake starts with Carvel's signature vanilla soft serve blended with OREO Cookie pieces, and then topped with whipped cream and Halloween sprinkles. Naturally, the shake is also served in an exclusive 31 Nights of Halloween X Hocus Pocus limited edition cup. As Carvel's Chief Marketing Officer Nicolle DuBose explains, "Carvel fans look forward to our holiday specialty shakes and we are thrilled to bring even more Halloween excitement to our shops this year with our Freeform collaboration."
