Chick-fil-A Welcomes Back Peppermint Shake and Chicken Tortilla Soup

It’s getting minty cool here at Chick-fil-A! 

Don’t you just love it when fast-food chains return food menu items that are long gone in their menu? We sure do! Now, Chick-fil-A is bringing back a milkshake that would excite mint lovers out there. And get this: It’s been a favorite of some and is considered one of the chain’s best menu items. Not only that, but since it’s winter, Chick-fil-A is also bringing back a comfort food that will accompany us throughout the cold winter days.

Say hello to the Peppermint Chip Milkshake, the first rollout of Chick-fil-A’s winter menu! It’s made out of Chick-fil-A’s Icedream, which is a vanilla-flavored ice cream treat. It features a blend of peppermint chips and finished off with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry to resemble the classic diner milkshake.

Chick-fil-A is also welcoming back the Chicken Tortilla Soup made for the cold winter days. The soup features a blend of shredded chicken breast and beans in its white creamy soup base. Some added ingredients are mixed vegetables and spices that are topped with seasoned corn and tortilla strips. It’s just like what your mother used to make you on days that you feel sick or down, like a warm, comforting hug.

Make sure to mark your calendars for these upcoming releases that will roll out Chick-fil-A’s winter menu. 

Milkshake Menu Hack To Try

We’re telling you a sweet secret! Yup, it’s a menu hack. While waiting for the Peppermint Chip Milkshake, why don’t you indulge in banana-flavored goodness? We all know that Chick-fil-A’s Banana Pudding dessert is making a buzz online, but they’re not stopping there. The chicken sandwich chain is gaining from the Banana Pudding’s popularity to bring another sweet treat featuring bananas. 

Say hello to the Chocolate Covered Banana Milkshake, a Chick-fil-A secret menu special! This milkshake takes after Chick-fil-A’s popular Banana Pudding Milkshake but of course, covered with chocolate. As per Instagram user @snackolator, you can’t order the milkshake via the app, but you can do so by asking for it in Chick-fil-A locations. All you have to do is order the Banana Pudding Milkshake and ask them to add Hershey’s Chocolate for a twist.

I think chocolate makes everything better so I definitely think adding some Hershey’s goodness to the Chick-fil-A Banana Pudding Milkshake is a winning option! #fastfood #fastfoodlife #chickfila #cfa #mukbang #eating #foodreview #bananapudding #milkshake #foodtiktok

In case you missed it, the Banana Pudding, which became a hit among fans, also came with the Banana Pudding Milkshake to enjoy the dessert in a different form. Since the Banana Pudding dessert is easy to mix and match, Chick-fil-A also released a Banana Frosted Coffee. It combines a cold-brewed coffee with the chain’s Icedream as it’s mixed with banana and crumbles of vanilla wafer. 

But that’s not all; for those of you who are fans of the combination of strawberry and banana flavors, Chick-fil-A can create a Strawberry Banana Milkshake by requesting to add strawberries in your Banana Pudding Milkshake order.

From The Club

Looks like November is looking really good at Chick-fil-A with their fan-favorite items starting out the rollout for the holiday menu. I’m not really a fan of anything mint-flavored, but I’d be willing to try out the Peppermint Chip Milkshake since I’m curious how those cane candies will work out as a milkshake. Also, the Chicken Tortilla Soup just sounds like heaven. I can just imagine the tortilla strips dipped in chicken soup — that’s how I enjoy my tortillas by dipping them in soup. I guess it would be a good November after all!
