Peppermint season returns with these drinks
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.
