Wendy’s Brings Back Vanilla Frosty—but Fans Are Buzzing About a New Flavor

Fans of Wendy's vanilla Frosty will be thrilled to hear it's back—but there is a catch. Frosty-lovers have a limited amount of time to snag one of their favorite icy treats before Wendy's yanks it again. This is par for the course for Wendy's, as the chain regularly removes the vanilla flavor in favor of new ones such as the salted caramel Frosty, the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, a Spongebob Squarepants-inspired flavor, triple berry Frosty and orange dreamsicle Frosty.

Fat food influencer snachwithzach highlighted the return of the vanilla Frosty in a post where he says the old favorite will most likely be replacing the salted caramel flavor. "This will run through February, at the end of February it may or may not be replaced with the Thin Mints one," he said. "They're running out of the mix in preparation of the new Thin Mints flavor so once a location's salted caramel is gone, it's gone!"

While there is no confirmation on the Thin Mints Frosty (we did ask, and Wendy's is neither confirming nor denying at the present time), vanilla Frosty fans can enjoy the sweet treat while contributing to a good cause in the meantime.
