Chick-fil-A
The peppermint candies are out, and so are the Christmas treats inspired by it.

This sweet treat is made out of Chick-fil-A’s Icedream, a vanilla-flavored ice cream treat. It also has a blend of peppermint chips and is finished off with whipped cream and maraschino cherries that resemble the classic diner milkshake.
IHOP
We all love IHOP’s (International House of Pancakes) pancakes since they just hit the right spot. Whether you’re in for a morning breakfast to kickstart your day or just for midnight cravings, they’re serving pancakes all day long. But of course, aside from the pancakes, they’re also serving House-Made Milkshakes made with hand-scooped premium ice cream, real milk, plus a whipped topping to finish it all off.
And speaking of shakes, IHOP just released the Long Lost Cookie Butter Milkshake as part of their Indiana Jones adventure-themed collection. If you’re in for a more chillier winter, then get this milkshake right here. It’s got a blend of cookie butter spread, cookie pieces, and vanilla ice cream.

Jack in the Box
Are you noggy or nice? Since you’ve been nice this year, Jack in the Box is offering you a noggy surprise this Christmas time. Featuring eggnog as the main star, it resembles this popular winter treat that is known to be a warm drink that resembles nearly a melted vanilla ice cream or a glass of custard slightly spiked with cinnamon and nutmeg.
The Noggy or Nice Shake is a blend of eggnog flavors and Biscoff topping on top. As for the Noggy or Nice Sweet Cream Iced Coffee, it’s just a little energizer with High Mountain Arabica Coffee mixed with sweetened cream. It includes some eggnog flavoring and is finished off with a whipped cream and crumbs of Biscoff cookie. You can also get the Biscoff Donut Holes to pair with your beverage.
