Chick-fil-A is kicking off its 80th anniversary year with two new menu staples and a splash of nostalgia. Starting Monday, Jan. 5, the chain is serving Frosted Sodas and Floats at every location.

What’s New in the Treats Lineup

Frosted Sodas blend the chain’s vanilla Icedream with fountain drinks for a creamy, sippable shake. Guests pick from eight familiar options:

  • Dr Pepper & Diet Dr Pepper
  • Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coke Zero Sugar
  • Hi-C Fruit Punch & Hi-C Orange
  • Sprite

Floats keep the same flavor roster but layer soda over a scoop of Icedream instead of blending-an old-school soda-fountain vibe.

Collectible Cups & Surprise Prizes

Chick-fil-A is also releasing Classic Cups wrapped in vintage designs. Each $3.99 cup is sealed, so buyers won’t know the pattern until after purchase.

Among the random drops:

  • 3,000 Gold Fan Cups grant one year of free Chick-fil-A.
  • The rest feature heritage artwork from past decades.

Limited-Time Packaging

Orders of the Original Chicken Sandwich Meal-sandwich, waffle fries, and a drink-will arrive in retro packaging for a short time starting Jan. 5.
