Citrusy QSR Frozen Refreshments

Wendy's Orange Dreamsicle Frosty is Arriving for Springtime

The Wendy's Orange Dreamsicle Frosty is the brand's latest flavor of its iconic frozen refreshment that's making its debut just in time to coincide with the arrival of springtime. The menu item is reported to pack ample sweet orange flavor in every spoonful, which is paired with a delightful creaminess to have it taste just like a blended take on a creamy orange ice pop. The result is a lighter flavor profile that consumers of all ages are sure to enjoy with their favorite meal or as a dessert.

The Wendy's Orange Dreamsicle Frosty is arriving as a temporary replacement to the Vanilla Frosty starting March 19, 2024 but will only be around for a limited time.
