Fast-food chain Wendy’s may be best known for their meaty Baconator burgers and renowned chili, but its famous frozen treat — the Frosty — is now set for a bit of an expansion for the spring and summer of 2025.
According to an April 10 press release from Wendy’s, two new varieties of Frosty, the Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions lineup, are launching in the days (and weeks) to come.
“Frosty has been on Wendy’s menu for 55 years and is one of the most iconic frozen treats in American culture. We’re expanding on our beloved Frosty so when a sweet tooth strikes, the choice is easy for consumers: It’s Gotta Be Wendy’s,” said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. CMO for The Wendy’s Company.
“We know consumers are always on the lookout for new flavors and ways to customize their order with sauces and mix-ins. We can’t wait for everyone to experience even more ways to enjoy our iconic Frosty!” she added.
Wendy’s Offers New Frosty Swirls in April, Early for In-App Orders
First up are the new Frosty Swirls menu offerings. These sweet treats will be available for order via the app as of April 11 and in restaurants nationwide as of April 15.
The process begins with guests selecting their favorite Frosty flavor — Wendy’s currently offers chocolate, vanilla, chocolate Thin Mints, and vanilla Thin Mints — and then choosing one of three sauces to add to the ice cream.
- Strawberry Frosty Swirl: Just as it sounds, this sauce is sweet, juicy, and tastes like fresh strawberries.
- Caramel Frosty Swirl: Ramping up the sweetness factor, Wendy’s describes this flavor profile as tasting like “a cold, creamy candy bar.”
- Brownie Batter Frosty Swirl: Decadent and bursting with deep chocolate flavor, this could be a winner for choco-holics.
Frosty Fusions Being Launched by Wendy’s in May, Just in Time for Summer
A month later, Wendy’s will double down on its commitment to enhancing its mainstay ice cream, launching a second trio of desserts known as Frosty Fusions.
Frosty Fusions will hit restaurants on May 12, and unlike Frosty Swirls, these variants focus on the trending theme of mix-ins to add a unique quality.
- Pop-Tarts Strawberry Frosty Fusion: In a collab with quick snack favorite Pop-Tarts, this fusion features “sweet strawberry sauce with chunks of strawberry-flavored Pop-Tarts Crunchy Poppers pieces,” per Wendy’s.
- OREO Brownie Frosty Fusion: The OREO McFlurry may have to watch its back, as this concoction draws from the Frosty Swirl sauce of the same name while also mixing in delicious chunks of OREO cookies.
- Caramel Crunch Frosty Fusion: Sweet caramel sauce blended with crisp toffee pieces. What more is there to say?
In addition, the fast-food chain also announced that it would be improving both the cup and spoon that Frosty treats are served in, adding a domed lid perfect for fry-dippers as well as a redesigned blue Frosty spoon designed for an improved scooping experience.
