Burger King is turning up the heat this summer with a flame-breathing promotion that brings fantasy straight to your tray. In partnership with Universal Pictures, the beloved fast-food chain is launching a limited-time dragon-themed menu in celebration of the upcoming live-action How to Train Your Dragon film, hitting theaters on June 13.
Beginning May 27, fans young and old will be able to embark on a culinary journey to the mythical Isle of Berk, where a quartet of new items will give classic BK favorites a fantastical twist. With bold flavors, eye-catching colors, and a playful nod to the film’s iconic dragons, this collaboration is crafted for both hardcore fans of the franchise and everyday burger lovers looking for a little extra magic.
“At BK, we love to bring partnerships to life that create an awesome experience for families,” said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer at Burger King US&C. “Our new collaboration with How to Train Your Dragon is going to be fun for both kids and kids at heart. Our team has created a delicious menu inspired by the beloved characters and themes of this exciting new movie that brings that experience to Burger King restaurants.”
A Menu That’s Straight Fire—Literally
The themed lineup includes four new items, each designed to deliver big flavor while channeling the spirit of dragons. From fiery snacks to fantasy-worthy desserts, here’s what you can expect to find at participating locations:
- Dragon Flame-Grilled Whopper – The main event of the promotion is none other than a flame-grilled quarter-pound burger served on a red-and-orange-marbled bun infused with natural spices and vegetable coloring. The eye-catching bun alone is worth the trip, but it’s what’s inside that seals the deal. Topped with American cheese, thick-cut bacon, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, sliced onions, pickles, ketchup, and creamy mayo, this burger blends flame and flavor into one epic bite.
- Fiery Dragon Mozzarella Fries – Ready to feel the burn? These aren’t your average mozzarella sticks. They pack a punch with gooey mozzarella wrapped in a bold, spicy breading made with Calabrian chili peppers and zesty peppers. The crunch gives way to melty cheese inside, making them a fiery snack with serious attitude. Plus, they’re served in a limited-edition, Toothless-themed carton for that collectible touch.
- Soaring Strawberry Lemonade – After breathing all that fire, you’ll need something to cool you down. Grab a refreshing blend made with real fruit juice. This vibrant drink is bursting with sweet and tangy strawberry flavor and designed to lift your spirits with every sip. It’s the perfect thirst-quencher for a summer dragon quest—or just a regular Tuesday.
- Viking’s Chocolate Sundae – For dessert lovers, Burger King delivers a magical ending. It features creamy vanilla soft serve drizzled with HERSHEY’S® chocolate syrup and topped with dramatic black and green cookie crumbles. The colors play into the Viking theme while offering a satisfyingly sweet finale to your flame-filled feast.
Game On: The ‘Night Fury Flight’ Experience
The fun doesn’t stop at the food. As part of the collaboration, Burger King is launching a “Night Fury Flight” game where Royal Perks members can play daily for exclusive offers and real-world prizes. The digital game gives players the chance to unlock deals, win sweepstakes entries, and score brag-worthy goodies.
The most exciting prize? A grand prize trip for four to Universal Orlando Resort, where the winners will get to experience the all-new How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk attraction up close and in person. Other prizes include digital AMC Theatres gift cards, so fans can catch the film on the big screen without breaking the bank.
The “Night Fury Flight” game and sweepstakes run from May 27 through July 15, giving fans plenty of time to play, win, and chow down on dragon delights.
Why It’s a Smart Move for BK
Burger King is no stranger to nostalgic and pop-culture tie-ins, but this one taps into something special. How to Train Your Dragon has long been one of DreamWorks’ most beloved franchises, with a fan base that spans generations. By aligning with the film’s first live-action installment, Burger King is creating a multi-generational experience that’s both immersive and crave-worthy.
It’s also a savvy summer move. With movie-goers expected to flock to theaters and kids out of school, the timing couldn’t be better for a family-focused fast food promotion that offers novelty and nostalgia in equal measure.
When and Where to Get It
The full dragon-themed lineup and “Night Fury Flight” game will be available at participating Burger King locations nationwide starting Monday, May 27. Whether you’re a fan of the franchise, a lover of spicy snacks, or just someone looking for something new, this limited-time menu is one legendary adventure you won’t want to miss.
