The Frosty is more than just a dessert – it's a cultural icon. For decades, Wendy’s has served up this unique treat that’s impossible to define.

Could this be the comeback everyone’s been craving?


The Frosty has always been more than just a menu item; it's a testament to Wendy's commitment to tradition with a dash of innovation.

It's not quite a milkshake, not quite ice cream – it's in a league of its own.

While the classic Chocolate Frosty remains a steadfast option, Wendy's has never shied away from shaking things up with a variety of limited-time flavors that have included everything from Strawberry to Orange Dreamsicle, and even a festive Peppermint.


Now, after a tantalizing absence, Wendy's is answering the call of Frosty aficionados everywhere by bringing back the much-loved Vanilla Frosty.

This fan-favorite has been sorely missed, often taking a backseat to seasonal sensations like the “Spongebob Squarepants' Krabby Patty Kollab Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty” and the indulgent “Salted Caramel Frosty”.

The Vanilla Frosty's return is a sweet victory for those who've been clamoring for its comeback since its last appearance in September.


To celebrate the Vanilla Frosty's return and to sweeten the deal, Wendy's is still offering their Frosty Key Tags.

For just $3, this little tag unlocks a year's worth of free Jr. Frostys – one each day for the entirety of 2025.

It's not just a key to endless Frostys; it's a key to making a difference, with 90% of the proceeds supporting the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.


Available for purchase until February 15th and valid through December 31st, the Frosty Key Tag is the gift that keeps on giving.

Whether you're a Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty enthusiast, this tag ensures that you can savor your favorite flavor every time it graces the menu.


Wendy's has a knack for keeping us on our toes, and while the Vanilla Frosty is here to stay for now, it's only a matter of time before the next tantalizing flavor makes its debut.

So, if you've been dreaming of that creamy, dreamy Vanilla Frosty, now's the time to indulge.

The GrayVine community knows that good things – like the Vanilla Frosty – are worth waiting for, but they're also worth savoring while they're here.

So, gather your friends, grab your spoons (or straws), and make a toast to the return of a legend!
