Peppermint is popping this holiday season. Chick-fil-A is bringing back it’s fan favorite seasonal Peppermint Chip Milkshake. According to ChewBoom, the holiday treat will return on November 14th along with the fast food chain’s chicken tortilla soup.

The shake is hand-spun and features chips of peppermint bark topped off with whipped cream and a cherry, although the whipped cream and cherry are not available when ordered for delivery. The soup features shredded chicken breast with navy and black beans in a white creamy soup base with a blend of vegetables and spicy heat, topped off with seasoned corn tortilla strips.

Wendy’s has also hopped on board the peppermint train. The company is officially launching the 2022 holiday season with the long-awaited new Peppermint Frosty. The treat features the brand’s signature vanilla Frosty with a festive peppermint flavoring. [Side note: Why not bring vanilla back permanently, too?]

Food & Wine reports that Wendy’s has stopped serving this past summer’s Strawberry Frosty to make room for the holiday treat. You can get a Peppermint Frosty at participating Wendy’s locations nationwide for a limited time. I’m not so sure fries dipped in peppermint will be as good as dipping them in vanilla or chocolate.

6 Of The Best Places To Get Milkshakes In Charlotte

Growing up Milkshakes were my favorite! I could rank just about every place in Charlotte by the quality of their milkshake. As I got older I drifted away from them being my go-to beverage and dessert. But with today being National Chocolate Milkshake Day, I figured it was a good time to visit this frosty treat. There are many many places you can get milkshakes in Charlotte. Everyone knows to go to chains whether fast food or ice cream and their milkshake offerings. I will forever be a fan of Cookout milkshakes for one! But there are some more localized spots you may or may not have tried.  And those places are what this list is about!

We will visit six places around Charlotte, many with multiple locations, to discover some new shakes to try out. From local ice cream spots, burger bars with boozy options, or your classic 1950s milkshake. You can’t go wrong with the basic chocolate or vanilla but the fancier flavors can be delicious as well. I have to say making this list made me crave a good shake. I guess my only decision now is which of these places to visit after work. Or maybe I can sneak away and no one would notice? What’s your favorite place to get milkshakes in Charlotte? If I missed any let us know on social media!
