Chick-fil-A Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee
If you want something sweet with a little caffeine, the Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee is a great choice. It combines Chick-fil-A’s cold-brewed coffee and peppermint syrup, hand-spun with Icedream® dessert and peppermint bark chips.
It has 430 calories, so it is lighter than the milkshake while still feeling like a dessert. It is perfect for an afternoon treat during the holiday rush.
Chick-fil-A Peppermint Iced Coffee and Hot Coffee
For a lighter option, the Peppermint Iced Coffee mixes cold brew with pure cane syrup and peppermint syrup over ice. It gives you the holiday flavor without the heavy Icedream® base.
Some locations also offer a hot Peppermint Coffee, made with Chick-fil-A’s regular coffee and peppermint syrup. It has only 90 calories and pairs well with Chick-fil-A breakfast items.
New Items Rumored for 2026
This year, the holiday lineup may include a few new items. Chick-fil-A has confirmed only one of them so far, so keep in mind that the rest are still rumors.
