Wendy’s Frosty will forever remain one of the most loved items at the fast food chain. There’s a reason why the Dave Thomas-created treat—which is somewhere between a milkshake and soft-serve ice cream—has withstood the test of time since its induction as a core menu item at the first Wendy’s restaurant.
In fact, the Frosty is so loved that when Wendy’s started adding seasonal flavors to the menu like Strawberry, Pumpkin Spice, and Salted Caramel, fans complained that they could no longer order their favorite Vanilla Frosty. Because that’s the biggest problem with the Frosty: there can only be two flavors on the menu at the time. Or, at least that’s how it used to be.
In February, Wendy’s introduced a Thin Mints Frosty in collaboration with the Girl Scouts. The Frosty features a unique Thin Mints-inspired cookie butter swirl—and, for the first time ever, customers can choose if they want the swirl in the Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty. That means there are currently four Frosty options on the menu.
After proving the classic Frosty is even more delicious with a simple swirl of Thin Mints cookie butter or Pineapple Mango purée (in the Spongebob-inspired Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty), Wendy’s has decided to add a new kind of Frosty to menus.

At Wendy’s Investor Day, the chain confirmed it’s introducing new Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions to menus this spring.
“Frosty is one of the most iconic items on Wendy’s menu and we know that consumers are increasingly seeking new flavors and variety,” said Lindsay Radkoski, The Wendy’s Company’s U.S. Chief Marketing Officer. “Our new Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions will give our fans even more ways to enjoy this classic treat.”
Much like the Thin Mints Frosty, the new Frosty Swirls will allow you to add a sauce to your Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty. The Frosty Fusions will feature those same sauces, plus additional mix-ins to make for an even more delicious experience.

Wendy’s didn’t share what the new sauces and mix-ins will be, but the photo provided by the brand shows what looks to be caramel sauce, cookie pieces, and some kind of strawberry crunchy crumbles (social media rumors say they resemble Pop-Tart pieces).
The brand also didn’t clue us in on when exactly the Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions might hit menus, but Radkoski did share that the new add-ins aren’t the only thing changing for the dessert. Wendy’s will now have new Frosty cups, lids, and custom blue spoons “designed for the perfect eating experience.”
“This spoon allows customers to get every bit of Frosty goodness out of the bottom of the cup,” she explained.
In addition to the new Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions, Wendy’s also announced that it has plans to collaborate with Takis, the spicy rolled tortilla chip, later this summer.
Even without official dates, we think it’s safe to say that we’re going to have a delicious spring and summer filled with new Wendy’s menu items.
