Everything On Chick-fil-A’s Holiday Menu, Including A Returning Favorite

The holidays are rapidly approaching, and we can’t wait to get our hands on one particular festive menu item: Chick-fil-A’s Peppermint Chip Milkshake. It’s a staple that’s simply so good, especially if you’re a serious peppermint fan like me. And luckily, we’ve found out that all of the peppermint-flavored goodies offered by Chick-fil-A each year aren’t too far off.

Peppermint Is Coming Back to Chick-fil-A for 2026

Peppermint is the holiday season’s most popular flavor profile, so it should come as no surprise that most of what Chick-fil-A is debuting this year is as minty as can be. The 2026 holiday menu at Chick-fil-A will include the following items:

• Peppermint Chip Milkshake
• Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee
• Peppermint Iced Coffee
• Peppermint Cream Cold Brew
• Chicken Tortilla Soup

That’s a lot of peppermint — but I’m not mad about it. Plus, this year’s holiday treats include some returning staples, which are sure to be crowd-pleasers yet again. The Peppermint Chip Milkshake, Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee, and Peppermint Iced Coffee are all back again; they were part of the 2025 holiday menu, too.

And we’re particularly thrilled to see the Peppermint Chip Milkshake return. It’s become something of a cult classic at Chick-fil-A, with mint fans waiting all year for it (although we have yet to try Zaxby’s new take on a peppermint shake, which features whole milk and real sugar and might have an edge that Chick-fil-A’s doesn’t).

Coffee fans, specifically those of us who refuse to give up iced coffee even when temperatures drop, will also be excited to see the return of Chick-fil-A’s Peppermint Iced Coffee. In my opinion, it delivers where Starbucks and other coffee-only chains don’t: You can get a peppermint-y coffee without a ton of extras (there’s no mocha happening here!).

And this year, there’s one newcomer I’m excited about: the Peppermint Cream Cold Brew sounds oh-so-promising. This drink was actually tested in select Florida Chick-fil-A restaurants back in 2021, but it disappeared and never debuted. Now, it’s finally here, and if this holiday version is similar to the one that was tested five years ago, then we expect the Peppermint Cream Cold Brew to feature cold brew over ice paired with vanilla-flavored cream and peppermint syrup.

The Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce Will Also Make Its Debut

There’s one more item that’ll debut with the rest of the Chick-fil-A holiday menu, and we’ve been eagerly awaiting its arrival: Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce.

Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce was first spotted last month, and it’s the first new permanent sauce added at Chick-fil-A in a decade. (The last new sauce was Sweet and Spicy Sriracha, which debuted in 2016.)

Chick-fil-A’s menu additions tend to focus on sandwiches and drinks, so it’s exciting to finally see a fresh sauce join the ranks. It’ll be available in dipping cups as well as 8-ounce bottles.

When Will the Chick-fil-A Holiday Menu Be Available?

If you’re eager to get your hands on the peppermint-y items in Chick-fil-A’s holiday lineup (I’m literally counting the days until I can try that Peppermint Cream Cold Brew, personally), you don’t have much longer to wait.

According to @markie_devo, the holiday treats — and the new Spicy Chick-fil-A sauce — will all be available at participating locations nationwide starting Monday, November 16.

One item is actually available early: the Chicken Tortilla Soup has already been spotted at select Chick-fil-A locations, so it debuted a couple of weeks earlier than the rest of this year’s holiday eats. This soup is actually a returning dish from last year’s menu, so if there was any dish giving Chick-fil-A fans a sneak peek this year, we’re not surprised it’s this popular pick.
