Wendy’s Is About to Drop 6 New Frosty Flavors—And Yes, One Has Pop-Tarts

If you thought Wendy’s was done reinventing its iconic Frosty, think again. The fast-food giant is taking its sweet, creamy classic and dialing things up in a big way.

And no, we’re not just talking about swapping vanilla for chocolate or the occasional seasonal twist—this time, they’re going full-on dessert innovation mode. Think sauces. Think mix-ins. Think Pop-Tarts (yes, you read that right).

Starting this spring, Wendy’s is unleashing six new Frosty creations that are basically a sugar-lover’s dream in a cup.

The Frosty We Know—and Love—Gets a Makeover

Wendy’s has always played it a little safe with the Frosty menu. For the longest time, you were working with two flavor options: chocolate or vanilla. Classic, dependable, satisfying. But in recent years, they’ve been getting bolder.

Remember that Thin Mints Frosty they rolled out in collaboration with Girl Scouts? Or how about the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants? Those were teasers, little hints that something bigger was brewing behind the scenes.

And now, it’s official. Wendy’s is branching out in a big way, unveiling two brand-new Frosty experiences: Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions. These aren’t just gimmicky add-ons—they’re a full-blown reinvention of what the Frosty can be.

You’re still getting that signature Frosty texture, but now with a flavorful twist (or several).

Meet the Frosty Swirls

First up, let’s talk about Frosty Swirls. These are landing in the Wendy’s app starting April 11 and hitting locations nationwide on April 15.

The idea is simple but genius: take your classic Frosty base—chocolate or vanilla—and jazz it up with a swirl of sauce. But we’re not talking basic chocolate syrup here. The three options include:

• Strawberry Swirl – A sweet, fruity kick that adds just enough zing without overpowering the base.
• Caramel Swirl – Rich, buttery, and made for those who like their desserts with a little golden indulgence.
• Brownie Batter Swirl – For the die-hard chocolate lovers who think “too much chocolate” isn’t a real thing.

This isn’t just about mixing flavors—it’s about elevating the Frosty into something layered and exciting. Imagine dipping your spoon into a vanilla Frosty and catching a ribbon of warm caramel.

Or hitting that fudgy brownie batter swirl tucked into the chocolate base. It’s dessert bliss, and it’s right around the corner.

But Wait, There’s More: Frosty Fusions Are Coming

As if that wasn’t enough to get your sweet tooth buzzing, Wendy’s is saving the best for last. Starting May 12, they’re rolling out Frosty Fusions, and these go way beyond swirls.

We’re talking mix-ins—crunchy, chewy, sweet, salty—tossed into your Frosty like a sundae got cozy with a milkshake and had a beautiful baby.

Here are the three Frosty Fusion flavors hitting the menu:

• Caramel Crunch Frosty Fusion – Featuring toffee bits and caramel swirl, this one’s for the texture lovers who want a little snap with their smooth.
• Pop-Tarts Strawberry Frosty Fusion – You heard that right. This one comes with strawberry-flavored Pop-Tarts Crunchy Poppers, making it the ultimate throwback to childhood breakfasts—only this time it’s dessert.
• Oreo Brownie Batter Frosty Fusion – Possibly the most decadent of the bunch, this fusion brings together crumbled Oreos, brownie batter swirl, and little nuggets of toffee. It’s basically all your favorite indulgences in one cold, creamy cup.

This isn’t just a seasonal stunt—it’s Wendy’s doubling down on what makes Frostys fun in the first place. They’re keeping the base you know and love, but adding bold new flavors, textures, and layers that turn a simple treat into a full-on dessert experience.

New Look, Same Chill Vibe

To go with the glow-up, Wendy’s is giving their Frosty cups and spoons a little makeover, too. Expect new cups, redesigned lids, and even fancy new blue spoons made specifically for better mix-in scooping. It’s the small details, folks.

And for those of you wondering if this is just the beginning—yep, it looks like more is on the horizon. Wendy’s has hinted that a spicy new collaboration with Takis is coming later this summer.

Could that mean a sweet-and-spicy Frosty hybrid? A dessert that burns and cools at the same time? Only time will tell, but if these Swirls and Fusions are any indication, we should buckle up.

What Wendy’s is doing with the Frosty right now is the equivalent of turning a reliable sidekick into a full-blown superhero.

For fans of the original, don’t worry—you can still get your simple chocolate or vanilla fix. But for those craving something with a little more flair, more texture, more Instagram potential, these new Frosty Swirls and Fusions are about to change your drive-thru game.
