Wendy’s Is Bringing Back Fan-Favorite Vanilla Frosty for $1

Wendy’s has announced that it is bringing back a fan-favorite Frosty flavor, and fans can get the sweet treat for just $1.

Eat This, Not That is reporting that the beloved Vanilla Frosty, which was temporarily retired in March, is now available again at Wendy’s. In order to make room for the reintroduced flavor, Wendy’s has withdrawn the Triple Berry version from its lineup. The standard Chocolate Frosty is still available alongside the Vanilla Frosty.

When the first Wendy’s opened its doors in 1969, there were only five original menu items, including the Chocolate Frosty. In 2006, Wendy’s introduced the Vanilla Frosty to its menu, and it wasn’t until 2022 that the brand unveiled another Frosty innovation in the U.S.: the Strawberry Frosty.

Since then, Wendy’s has introduced seasonal flavors like the Pumpkin Spice Frosty, Peppermint Frosty, and Orange Dreamsicle Frosty, and each time one of them gets added to the menu, the Vanilla Frosty gets pulled from rotation. Many customers have wondered why this fan favorite isn’t a permanent fixture on the menu at this point.

Though it isn’t clear how long vanilla will be available and whether this will be another limited-time offering until the next seasonal flavor gets released, fans are excited to have it back for now. “FINALLY,” one commenter wrote on food blogger Markie Devo’s Instagram post, while another stated, “This should have never left.”

Furthermore, AL.com reports that the small size of the popular sweet treat is available for $1 for a limited time. The $1 promotion ends Sept. 15.

Wendy’s $1 Frosty Promotion

Last month, Wendy’s announced that it was offering $1 Frosty treats for the rest of the summer.

“As summer ends, Wendy’s is giving fans a celebratory treat that can’t be beat,” the company said in the announcement. “Fans can choose between the Classic Chocolate Frosty or savor the final days of the seasonally inspired Triple Berry Frosty while supplies last — which combines three of the freshest fruit flavors of the season — strawberry, blackberry and raspberry — into one summer treat.”

Wendy’s $1 small Frosty treats will be available at participating Wendy’s restaurants nationwide from today until Sept. 15. The Frosty remains the most well-liked beverage at the massive fast-food chain, regardless of whether customers like to sip it, dip it, or scoop it.

Additionally, Wendy’s has announced that the $1 Honey Buddies — previously known as the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit — will be offered through Sept. 30. It is hoped that this, like the Frosty, will make up for the loss that was disclosed on the Q2 results call.
