Frozen Holiday Hot Chocolates

Auntie Anne’s Has Created a Hot Chocolate Frost for the Holidays

— November 19, 2019 — Lifestyle
Auntie Anne's is giving its drink menu a seasonal twist with the debut of the new Hot Chocolate Frost.

Created for the 2019 holiday season, the new Hot Chocolate Frost is a festive frozen take on hot chocolate. The drink consists of a rich hot chocolate mix blended with ice, and then topped with whipped cream and a Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup. The new drink is available at participating Auntie Anne's locations nationwide from now through January 5, 2019.

To promote the new drink, Auntie Anne's is teaming up with Grubhub for an exclusive deal. This means that anyone who places an Auntie Anne's order of $12 or more through Grubhub can score a free small Hot Chocolate Frost.
