For a limited time, customers can purchase a Vanilla Frosty at any participating Wendy's restaurant

Wendy’s fans were happy to hear that the fast food chain has brought back a favorite Frosty flavor.

The restaurant has announced that vanilla-flavored Frosty treats are once again available at participating locations nationwide.

Food blogger snachwithzach shared the news on Instagram after on January 11.

The Vanilla Frosty replaces Wendy’s new Salted Caramel Frosty.

Before January, the Vanilla Frosty was available for a limited time at participating restaurants from September through October 2024.

It was later replaced by the SpongeBob SquarePants Krabby Patty Kollab Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty.

Wendy’s has not yet confirmed when the flavor will disappear from menus, but snachwithzach reported it would be available until the end of February.

Instagrammers continued to comment on the return of the Frosty.

A few commenters were surprised to find the flavor back on the menu, while some customers claimed they never knew Wendy’s had removed it.

“I never thought I’d hear that the vanilla icy is ‘back,'” someone joked.

Several commenters asked why the Vanilla Frosty initially disappeared from menus and urged that it become a permanent flavor.

“Just keep chocolate and vanilla then rotate a third flavor,” one fan wrote.

“I never understood why they keep removing vanilla ice creams.”

In addition to the Vanilla Frosty, Wendy’s has been busy promoting the $3 Frosty Key Tags, which returned on December 9, 2024.

With the temporary Key Tags, Wendy’s customers can score a free Jr Frosty.

The fast food chain offers the item to its customers annually in support of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

“Every purchase of a Frosty Key Tag directly helps find families for youth in foster care by supporting the Foundation,” according to a Dec. 4 news release.

“To date, the Foundation has helped find families for more than 14,800 children in the U.S. and Canada.”

Customers interested in purchasing a Frosty Key Tag can do so at any participating Wendy’s restaurant now through February 16.

Wendy’s current deals were announced after the company confirmed a successful third quarter in October 2024.

The fast food chain experienced an increase in sales, mainly due to gains in advertising revenue, franchise royalties and franchise fees.

“Wendy’s restaurants continued to deliver sales growth in the third quarter, with overall traffic and dollar share in the QSR burger category maintained,” said Kirk Tanner, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“We have continued to strengthen relationships with our customers through our digital and loyalty platforms, while driving growth for breakfast and late-night dayparts.”

Wendy’s fourth-quarter report and full 2024 revenue are expected to be released on February 13.
