For those seeking bold, savory satisfaction, the Pretzel Bacon Double SONIC Smasher™ is an indulgent new way to experience the classic SONIC Smasher™.

It’s never too early for winter treats as the Peppermint Brownie Bark Shake blends creamy vanilla soft serve with decadent chocolate chunk brownie pieces and a sprinkle of cool, crushed peppermints, topped with whipped topping, a cherry and more crushed peppermints. Perfect for winter cravings that call for a sweet, festive treat, the shake starts at $5.39* for a Medium.

“At SONIC, we know the ultimate crave season doesn’t stick to one flavor or one moment,” said Barb Williams, Vice President of Category Management at SONIC. “This year, our Peppermint Brownie Bark Shake and Pretzel Bacon SONIC Smasher™ bring a perfect mix of festive indulgence and crave-worthy comfort. Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet, savory, or both, we’re making it easy for everyone to enjoy a little more flavor and fun this season.”
