The shake starts off with the brand's [vanilla soft serve that's blended](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-shake) with peanut butter and bacon to give it a nutty yet meaty flavor for a sweet and slightly salty taste experience. The shake is finished with a swirl of whipped topping and a cherry as well as additional [bacon crumble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-pickle-bacon-burger) for a final touch of meatiness. The Sonic Peanut Butter Bacon Shake is making its way to participating locations starting January 8 but will only be available through February 4, 2024 or while supplies last.
