Christmas in Your Mouth

The Christmas season seems to begin earlier and earlier every single year.

I was in Wal-Mart and Target the day after Halloween this year and the Christmas decor and products were already up. Actually - Target had their aisle of Christmas cards out towards the beginning of October.
Regardless if you're feeling "in the season" or not, Chick-Fil-A has a new product that needs your immediate attention.

First, let me caution you. Unless you're desperately in love with Peppermint flavored drinks and desserts you might have no interest in the rest of this story as I am about to profess my undying love for peppermint flavored treats.

Chick-Fil-A milkshakes are unbelievable. I don't need to go into great detail here. You know they are thick, and creamy and full flavored and delicious. Their core flavors are good, as well as the limited edition Coffee Caramel flavor.

On Monday however, Chick-Fil-A introduced a revolutionary flavor that you simply can't find anywhere else: Peppermint Chocolate Chip.

As soon as I found out about this - my mouth started watering. I wait ALL year for peppermint flavored seasonal favorites to come out....peppermint ice cream, peppermint blizzards, etc.

Before I even got a chance to go to Chick-Fil-A to get a taste I received an email from a reader who described the shake like this, "it's like Christmas swirling in your mouth."

That is a bold statement.....and even further solidified my desire to go get one.

Yesterday I had my chance. In the drive thru, after I ordered I asked the speaker Chick-Fil-A girl, "Is it good?" She said, "Yes."

When I got to the window and paid my $3.10, I asked the Manager who handed me the shake, "Is it good?" He said, "Eh....I guess if you like peppermint." WHAT! The manager can't even stand by the BEST flavor Chick-Fil-A has ever invented?

I was disappointed with his attitude, but I wasn't going to let it stop me from enjoying my peppermint shake from heaven.

I sucked the thick, sweet shake through the straw and as it hit my lips I flashed back to the reader's comment....it IS like Christmas in your mouth!

Rich, creamy, peppermint flavored goodness. The best part? The chopped up chocolate chips mixed in....not to mention the whipped cream and cherry on top.

This is a Christmas dessert classic. If you have ANY passion for peppermint flavored treats at all - this is a MUST have.

The days are numbered. In fact as of right now you only have 51 days left to get it.

Go now, consider it an early Christmas gift to yourself.
