Move over, pumpkin spice. It’s peppermint’s time to shine.

With a wintery chill creeping into the air, some national chains have announced the return of their holidaythe­med food and drink menus, including the beloved peppermint milkshakes. One of the most well-known is from Chik-fil-A, which first introduced its seasonal Peppermint Chip Milkshake in 2008. Here’s when and where you can get a peppermint milkshake this winter.

Chik-fil-A

Chik-fil-A brought back its limitedtim­e Peppermint Chip Milkshake on Nov. 14. The chain saw orders of the holiday treat peak last year, a press statement said. On Monday, Chik-fil-A will also reintroduc­e its Chicken Tortilla Soup. Both items will be available until Jan. 7, or while supplies last.

Wendy’s

At Wendy’s, a new peppermint Frosty debuted on its menu Nov. 15.

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburge­rs

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburge­rs’ new Oreo Cookie Peppermint Shake is available now through Jan. 3, or while supplies last.

Brands to watch for
