The shake is made with the brand's [hand-spun milkshake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/habit-burger-grill-peppermint-bark-shake) along with a cool blue swirl throughout that helps to give it a distinctly chilly appearance before being toped with a dollop of whipped cream. The treat comes as one of a growing number of frozen dessert varieties being created with wintertime in mind to help consumers extend their love for ice cream into the cold weather months. The Carvel Winterfest Shake is available now at participating locations nationwide for a limited time and is being launched alongside the Unicorn Fairy Dust Specialty shake for patrons to pick up.
