Feeling the weather warming up? It’s a good thing that Arby’s and Burger King are releasing cold treats way before the summer season. And get this: They boast sweet flavors to get you excited for summer! If that isn’t enough to make you look forward to the coming days ahead, your favorite fast food spots are bringing you gift card deals that you can avail of, especially as we celebrate the upcoming Mother’s Day.
Don’t miss out on these new offerings. Read more to learn about what they offer and the flavors that you can expect from these sweet coolers.
Arby’s
Remember those orange cream popsicles that you had when you were younger? Yup, you can indulge in these treats once again as Arby’s introduces their new Orange Cream Shake that is available for a limited time only. It features Arby’s signature vanilla shake that is blended with orange cream-flavored syrup and topped with a sweet and fluffy whipped cream.
You can now get this seasonal summer drink in participating regular or large sizes for a price of $3.59 and $4.19. However, note that prices may vary depending on location.
Burger King
Not in the mood for a shake? Maybe an ice cream will fix it. Burger King has quietly introduced their most popular dessert with Hershey’s Sundae, which is now available at participating locations. This treat features a creamy and velvety soft serve that is topped with just the right amount of a classic drizzle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup.
Expect the dessert to be priced around $1.99, but it may vary per location. You can find this treat at participating Burger King locations nationwide, but hurry, as they’re only around for a limited time.
Einstein Bros. Bagels
Looking for the perfect gift? Say no more, as Einstein Bros. Bagels is here to say hello. They’re offering a 20% off with E-gift cards from now through June 24, 2025. All E-gift cards are being offered at 20% off, which will last through Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Graduation season.
Also, for Mother’s Day celebration, you can give your Mother a treat that she would love. Just like how she packed your school lunches back then, you can give them a toasty Asiago Cheese Bagel and add in her favorite cream cheese shmear like Garden Veggie, Honey Almond, or even the Country Pepper Shmear. Pairing the bagel with Caramel Cream Cold Brew would be even better.

From The Club
Mom would surely love these deals that are available at the table! There are too many sweets and deals for me to choose my favorite out of the five, but I guess I’ll be trying Shake Shack’s new BBQ lineup with Mom. I will also add in a Panda Express dinner as it is one of the things we enjoy when we’re together. Still, I would love to try everything available for this batch of deals and new releases.
