What’s Christmas without sweet treats? Run for these latest holiday releases from Yogurtland, Shipley-Donuts, and more!
The sweetest season of the year is finally here! Holiday menus have started rolling out, and we’re seeing these two flavors in almost every chain: peppermint and cranberry. Peppermint perfectly represents the winter season because of its cool freshness, while cranberry is always that reliable tangy twist to Christmas (we can say the same for blueberries, though). Also, the gingerbread man makes a special appearance, adding that extra dash of sweetness. Ready to experience these festive flavors in new, exciting ways? Here are the latest chains with holiday exclusives you shouldn’t miss!
Yogurtland
The winter season has arrived at Yogurtland as the brand announces three new seasonal offerings. These include a new froyo flavor called Peppermint Fudge Brownie, an online-exclusive offer Gingerbread Wonderland Cup, and the Gingerbread Man cookie topping, all available for a limited time or while supplies last. Now, let’s get into the sweet details.
Each spoonful of Yogurtland’s new seasonal flavor Peppermint Fudge Brownie is a winter wonderland experience. This rich flavor is a combination of the refreshing peppermint and sweet brownie. You can make it more festive by adding in the new Gingerbread Man topping. Yup, it’s winter but that’s not an excuse to miss this froyo treat!
Meanwhile, the Gingerbread Wonderland Cup can only be availed online via Yogurtland’s website or app. You don’t want to miss this because it’s a blend of cheer and nostalgia, as per Yogurtland’s Marketing Head Brittany Knollmiller. The cup is packed with everything festive. It features a creamy vanilla swirl, combined with holiday sprinkles, mini chocolate coated candies, and of course, the Gingerbread Man topping. Knollmiller added that all these new treats are created to inspire joyful moments this season.
Besides these holiday menu items, Yogurtland also has sweet rewards in store for American voters as well as veterans and active-duty military.

And we’re not done yet…because on November 29, 2024, Yogurtland will be celebrating Black Friday by offering double points to loyalty members.

Shipley Do-Nuts
Over at Shipley Do-Nuts, you can also taste holiday magic through their new Candy Cane Crunch Donut. This treat features the brand’s iconic handcrafted hexagon-shaped yeast donut in two varieties: Chocolate Iced and White Iced. Each donut is finished with sweet candy cane bits for that crunchy goodness. Price starts at $1.49.
Two new holiday beverages, with prices starting at $4.99, will also be available at participating locations of Shipley Do-Nuts:
- Candy Cane Shake: This treat features a peppermint-flavored frozen delight, topped with whipped cream and crushed candy cane.
- Candy Cane Mocha Frappe: The classic combination of peppermint and dark chocolate is the star of this drink. It comes with whipped topping and candy cane bits.
According to Kaitlyn Venable, Director of Culinary at Shipley Do-Nuts, the Candy Cane holiday menu lineup offers new tasty reasons to visit the chain. The brand also believes that the holiday celebrations feel incomplete without the classic peppermint flavor. But of course, Shipley Do-Nuts didn’t forget those who are craving something savory this season. The brand has launched another limited-time offer: Bacon, Egg & Cheese Kolache. This handmade pastry is baked until golden brown and is stuffed with applewood-smoked bacon, buttery and fluffy scrambled egg, and melty American cheese. You can get this new kolache treat for only $3.49, available until December 31, 2024.
Carl’s Jr.
Even though holiday celebrations are coming up, we’re still in the thick of football season. That’s why Carl’s Jr. is serving up Baller beverages to elevate your watch party. Available in two options, these Baller beverages are best paired with your favorite Carl’s Jr. burgers:
- Blueberry Baller – This drink delivers a fizzy explosion of flavors from blueberry and cotton candy. A unique combination if you ask me!
- Blood Orange Baller – This one’s a vibrant drink featuring a zesty blood orange flavor, with hints of strawberry. Prepare for a fruity treat that will make you and your taste buds do the end zone dance.
To sweeten the deal, Carl’s Jr. is offering these new Baller beverages for only $2 when you order via their app as a My Rewards member. These drinks are available for a limited time only, so don’t miss out!
Jamba
Finally, the cranberry fever has begun over at Jamba. Starting November 4, 2024, there are two new limited-edition smoothie flavors that are up for grabs: Cranberry Pomegranate and Cranberry Pomegranate Ginger. The former combines sweet coconut whip with cranberry, pomegranate, and citrus flavors for a holiday drink that’s both sweet and tart. Meanwhile, the Cranberry Pomegranate Ginger has the same flavors, but with a scoop of ginger for an extra punch.
Jamba recognizes that cranberry is a winter-friendly fruit, and innovating the menu to incorporate this flavor is a way for them to brighten everyone’s spirits this holiday season.

From The Club
The holidays are nothing short of sweet, and I always look forward to peppermint-flavored treats. I personally think Yogurtland took it up a notch with their Peppermint Fudge Brownie froyo. I’m so excited to try that and to get those double points on Black Friday, lol! The Blood Orange Baller from Carl’s Jr. also sounds interesting; I’d love to have that with my all-time fave Western Bacon Cheeseburger! 🤤
