Wendy’s Just Launched a Kids’ Meal for Halloween

With Halloween just eight weeks away, restaurant chains are helping customers celebrate the spooky season by rolling out exciting themed deals. And luckily for Wendy’s fans, the popular fast-food chain is now one of them.

This week, Wendy’s announced its new Frosty Frights Kids Meal to kick off what it’s calling the “Halloween season.” Each kids’ meal includes your choice of four chicken nuggets (180 calories), a hamburger (250 calories), or a cheeseburger (290 calories), as well as Jr. Hot & Crispy Fries (210 calories) or Apple Bites (35 calories), and a drink. But the chain is adding a little seasonal fun to the meal by adding new limited-edition collectibles. Because what’s a kids’ meal without a toy?

As part of this new offer, customers can collect Frosty Frights toys inspired by Wendy’s beloved Frosty. There are 11 characters in total, and a few options include Franken Frosty, Frosty Bite, Coolie Ghoulie, Brrr Beast, Cold Spell, and Junior. The Frosty Frights Kids Meal will be available until November 3.

Wendy’s Halloween deals aren’t limited to new Frosty toys. The chain also just brought back its special edition Boo! Books, which customers can purchase at participating locations for just $1. They feature Frosty Frights characters with coupons for five free Jr. Frosty treats, as well as a sixth bonus coupon that unlocks a $1.99 Wendy’s Kids Meal with any purchase. Customers can use these coupons through December 31.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

According to Wendy’s, 90 cents of every dollar sold through November 3 will be donated to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding permanent homes for children in foster care in the U.S. and Canada.

Customers can purchase Boo! in the restaurant, at the drive-thru, at self-order kiosks, online and on the mobile app. The book is available in Wendy’s “Give Something Back” category.

7 Major Changes at Wendy’s

The introduction of the new Frosty Frights Kids Meal isn’t the only recent Frosty-related news. Wendy’s also just brought back its Vanilla Frosty (310 calories), which replaces the chain’s Triple Berry Frosty, which launched in June.

In addition to the new additions, Wendy’s will reportedly release a SpongeBob SquarePants-themed Krabby Patty Meal in partnership with Paramount to celebrate the animated series’ 25th anniversary. Neither Wendy’s nor Paramount have provided any details about the offering, but a leaked note shared on Reddit says the meal will be available starting October 8. The meal reportedly includes a Krabby Patty, which is Wendy’s cheeseburger with “fresh produce and secret Krabby Patty sauce,” along with a Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty and medium fries.
