Attention, sweet treat aficionados! You officially have a new holiday to celebrate, and it involves everyone’s favorite creamy, dreamy frozen dessert. Wendy’s is declaring the first-ever global Frosty Day, an annual celebration dedicated to the iconic frozen treat that has been cherished for decades.
The best part? Frosty Day appropriately lands on November 15th, marking the anniversary of the very first Wendy’s restaurant opening back in 1969. That means this celebration spans generations of loyal fans who have perfected the fry-dipping technique!
Hello, Snickerdoodle!
To honor this inaugural sweet holiday, Wendy’s is rolling out a brand NEW, seasonally-inspired limited-time treat: the Snickerdoodle Cookie Frosty Fusion!
Holiday cookie lovers, prepare yourselves: this dessert takes Wendy’s classic Vanilla Frosty, blends it with a sweet, cinnamony snickerdoodle sauce, and tops the whole thing off with real cookie crumbles. It sounds like the perfect cozy cap to a Baconator meal.
“Frosty has been at the heart of our menu since the very beginning – a treat that embodies the tradition, innovation and legacy Wendy’s continues to stand for today,” said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer, The Wendy’s Company.
A Global Frozen Sensation
It’s truly fitting that the Frosty gets its own official day. It was, after all, one of the first five menu items founder Dave Thomas created back in 1969. While its core creamy goodness remains a one-of-a-kind classic, the dessert continues to evolve, surprising fans with innovations like the new Frosty Swirls and Fusions.
The Frosty love isn’t confined to the U.S., either – it’s a bona fide global sensation! You can find a Biscoff Frosty in the UK and a Caramel Toffee Frosty in Canada. But when it comes to sheer volume, Ohio still reigns supreme as the undisputed Frosty capital, selling more of the frozen treats in 2024 than any other U.S. state. That’s some serious home-state pride!
So, whether you’re a loyal Frosty veteran or ready to try the new Snickerdoodle fusion for the first time, Wendy’s invites you to raise a spoon (or even a fry!) on November 15th and join the newest, sweetest annual tradition.
