With Halloween just over eight weeks away, restaurant chains are helping customers celebrate the spooky season by launching exciting themed offerings.
And fortunately 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 "HalloWEENDY's season.
Each kids meal includes a choice of four-piece chicken nuggets (180 calories), a hamburger (250 calories), or a cheeseburger (290 calories), along with Jr. Hot & Crispy Fries
(210 calories) or Apple Bites (35 calories), and a drink. However, the chain adds some seasonal fun to the meal by including new limited-edition collectibles.
Because what would a kids meal be without a toy? As part of this new offering, customers can collect Frosty Frights toys inspired by Wendy's beloved Frosty.
There are 11 total characters, with a few options being Franken Frosty, Frosty Bite, Coolie Ghoulie, Brrr Beast, Cold Spell, and Junior. The Frosty Frights Kids Meal will be available until Nov. 3.
Wendy's Halloween-themed offerings aren't limited to the new Frosty toys. The chain also just brought back its special-edition Boo! Books, which customers can purchase at participating locations for just $1.
These feature Frosty Frights characters with coupons for five free Jr. Frosty treats, plus a sixth extra coupon that unlocks a $1.99 Wendy's kids meal with any purchase. Customers can redeem these coupons through Dec. 31.
According to Wendy's, 90 cents of every $1 book sold through Nov. 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 a Boo! Book in-restaurant, at the drive-thru, through self-order kiosks, online, and on the mobile app. The book is available under Wendy's "Give Something Back" category.
