SONIC Turns Up the Flavor with Craveable New Menu Items for Fall and Winter Festivities

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As temperatures drop and cravings rise, SONIC is making flavor the star with bold new menu items that indulge the ultimate fall and winter cravings. Beginning October 20 in the SONIC® App, guests can enjoy the Peppermint Brownie Bark Shake and the Pretzel Bacon SONIC Smasher™ – two indulgent delights designed to make the season the most delicious yet.

For those seeking bold, savory satisfaction, the Pretzel Bacon Double SONIC Smasher™ is an indulgent new way to experience the classic SONIC Smasher™. Hand-smashed Angus beef patties with crispy edges are layered with melty American cheese, bacon, crunchy fried onions and creamy mustard – all nestled in a soft, buttery pretzel bun. Guests looking for an even heartier bite can opt for the Pretzel Bacon Triple SONIC Smasher™. The Pretzel Bacon Double SONIC Smasher™ starts at $7.39*, with the Triple at $8.39*.

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.”

Fans can order these new limited-time items, along with the recently launched Bourbon Caramel Iced Coffee, exclusively through the SONIC® App starting October 20, with nationwide availability on November 3. Pricing and participation may vary, while supplies last.
