KFC brings back its fan-favorite Fill Up meals—with a new twist
- Replies 0
There’s something about summertime that makes comfort food even more satisfying—especially when it doesn’t break the bank.
Whether you’re heading to a movie, taking a road trip, or just enjoying a laid-back afternoon, a good meal can make the moment even better.
That’s why this limited-time comeback from KFC is getting attention.
The beloved Fill Up meals are back—and they’re bringing a few surprises along with them.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s inside the box (literally), why folks are excited, and how long you have to enjoy this deal.
Back by demand: the return of the Fill Ups
First launched in 2009, KFC’s Fill Up meals have built a loyal following thanks to their mix of generous portions and affordable price.
In 2025, they’re back for a limited time at just $7 each.
That’s a small bump from the original $5 deal, but still a solid value at a time when many fast food meals easily top $10.
Here’s what you can choose from:
Each option includes everything you’d want in a satisfying meal: a hearty main dish, a side, a drink, and something sweet to finish it off.
A new sip for summer: Peaches & Cream soda
To go along with your Fill Up, KFC has introduced a limited-time drink: Sweet Lightning Peaches & Cream.
Inspired by the trendy “dirty soda” concept, it’s a creamy, fruit-flavored take on Mountain Dew—and it’s only available while supplies last.
It’s a refreshing way to round out the meal and adds a bit of fun to the drive-thru experience.

Why this deal still stands out
In a world of shrinking portions and rising prices, KFC’s Fill Ups stand out for their value and completeness.
Each box delivers a full meal—main, side, biscuit, drink, and dessert—without leaving you wanting more.
For longtime fans, it’s also a little nostalgic: a throwback to when $5 could get you a satisfying lunch.
Now at $7, it’s still one of the more generous fast food deals around.

A movie tie-in adds extra flavor
This year’s Fill Up comeback is part of a special promotion with F1: The Movie, celebrating speed and summertime thrills.

Other restaurants are rolling out similar movie-themed offerings—but KFC’s combo of variety, value, and comfort food is hard to top.
