Peppermint Milkshake ?! Are You Kidding Me ?!?!?

[@Mrhandfriends]

We’re bringing a taste of Chick-fil-A to our kitchen in the UK! Mrs. H and Elana tackled the famous Peppermint Milkshake, and Mr. H is here for the ultimate taste test! 🇬🇧🇺🇸 Let us know in the comments: Have you tried Chick-fil-A’s Peppermint Milkshake before? What’s your favorite holiday treat? Don’t forget to give this video a LIKE and hit SUBSCRIBE for more British takes on American classics! How Does It Compare to Other Holiday Drinks? Unlike traditional hot holiday drinks like eggnog or peppermint mochas, the Chick-fil-A Peppermint Milkshake offers a cold, creamy alternative that still feels festive. Its playful mix of textures (smooth ice cream and crunchy peppermint bits) and the bold peppermint flavor set it apart. Fun Fact: Many fans have tried to recreate this iconic milkshake at home during the off-season, blending vanilla ice cream, peppermint extract, crushed candy canes, and even a splash of red food coloring to get the perfect look and taste.

Chick-fil-a is said to marinate its chicken in pickle brine and the batter tastes as though it is mixed with honey and garlic powder.

[@lonegrimo6098]

If you're ever in states around this time of the year you need try Steak & Shake milkshakes their Eggnog milkshake is my favorite.

[@GranpaMike]

Yes, every time I go there and it's available. Good stuff!

[@balancedactguy]

Let me guess..Mr. H is named DAVID......Mr..DAVID ATCH! Don't know what the Mrs is named!

[@havok6280]

Baby H is right. You have to taste all of the ingredients to make sure they're fresh....😅

[@toddhadley9002]

Exactly. Sampling the ingredients for freshness is a time honored tradition. It's related to the tradition of over-measuring ingredients. As in, "Oh no! I measured out too many chocolate chips! Now that they've come into contact with the ice cream, I can't put them back in the bag, so I guess I'll have to eat them." For some reason it always happens with certain ingredients but not others. I never over-measure flour or baking soda, for example, but chocolate chips? Every time. I was aghast when Mrs. H told Elana "no tasting." What kind of nonsense is she teaching her daughter? For chocolate chips to go into a recipe without any being eaten would be a travesty. Fortunately they spilled a couple or the whole thing would have been ruined.😉

[@CascadeKait]

Quality control very important job

[@intergalacticnutcracker5884]

Mr and Mrs h always make me smile such great enthusiasm

[@chrisjarvis2287]

Peppermint / Candy Cane ice cream has been a Christmas favorite of mine for over 40 years

[@MeidasMJ]

Mine too. Peppermint ice cream.. and black licorice ice cream. Although the ONLY place I’ve ever seen licorice ice cream is a local ice cream stand. I loved that as a kid. I don’t think they have that anymore.

[@gnardawg69]

I love that they are drinking out of the moose cups from Christmas Vacation 😆

[@allie9244]

After a little person is asleep, traditional eggnog with a shot or two of rum is quite nice.

[@VorchaKali]

The main difference between American and UK peppermint extract is the flavor profile: American peppermint extract has a strong mint aroma followed by a crisp, cool, and slightly sweet taste, while UK peppermint extract has a bold minty taste.

[@Mrhandfriends]

Awesome !!! Thank you 🙏

[@darrell9546]

You should try making it a malt (a "malted") instead of just a milkshake, much richer. You'd have to get your hands on some malt powder, just add it to the mix when you blend it. Elana is growing up so fast!

[@GranpaMike]

Awesome! Been loving peppermint ice cream and shakes since I was Elana's age. Now that I'm an old geezer, I make mine a little different. Vanilla ice cream, half & half or cream, a tbsp of Ovaltine chocolate malt, and a shot (or two) of green Creme de Menthe. I highly recommend it to other old geezers and geezettes.

[@Mrhandfriends]

Sounds good

[@SunnyDays-k6c]

Elana is absolutely adorable!

[@Denise-t4z]

Elana with her peppermint milkshake would make a cute Christmas card. 🎄

[@terryburgdorf5448]

I was going to say the same thing! Her looking at the moose cup with the candy cane and the Christmas tree behind her...that would be an adorable card! I would buy a whole set!

[@intergalacticnutcracker5884]

Oh my gosh less than 2 mins in elaina is so smart that's so cool

[@intergalacticnutcracker5884]

Sorry elana*

[@apt221bbakerst]

Try peppermint in hot chocolate. I worked at a ski lodge one year and a bartender taught me a drink called PEPPERMENT PATTY. You put a half a shot of Peppermint Schnapps in a coffee mug. If you want non alcoholic, use two drops ONLY of Peppermint extract or stick a peppermint candy in it. Pour the hot chocolate drink in and add whip cream. It is like eating an American Peppermint Patty candy .

[@PandoraBear357]

You can also break the hook part and a bit of the end off of a candy cane and use it as a straw. I like the straight jumbo sized ones. Just nibble a bit off each end in that case. Best hot chocolate straw.

[@jenneper]

Mint and chocolate is a staple here for Christmas. When my kids were growing up, I made peppermint hot cocoa with "magic" (sprinkles of colored sugar) on top. Now that they're all grown, I make grinch cocoa (because we don't buy presents now..haha). I make white cocoa, color it with green food coloring,and add creme de menthe. If Im feeling extra festive, I make green whipped cream, too. Christmas is typically a very tough holiday so anything that feels like a celebration makes me happier.

[@Mrhandfriends]

It’s just the best 🤤

[@Mrhandfriends]

Who else has had this milkshake ??? ❤

[@MeidasMJ]

Nope. Never. Never been to CFA

[@MeidasMJ]

I wish I could find some GOOD peppermint ice cream. I know a local ice cream shop would make the absolute best… if they were only open in the winter. Their Teaberry ice cream could bring about world peace if we could all sit down to a cone or dish of that. The same with their mint chocolate chip.

[@SherriLyle80s]

I haven't but my kids just had a Peppermint Cocoa Blizzard yesterday after their orchestra concerts

In the '70's, Chick-fil-A was often found right next to an Orange Julius. For years after Orange Julius went down, did'nt want the excellent Chik-fil-A without the Julius.

I don't know about where you live, but Orange Julius is still around my area, & it's right next to Dairy Queen in one of the local malls.

That is true. She’s got us wrapped around her finger, the same finger she dipped in that icecream

One of the great things about America is that it is so vast there's something for everyone. In this case, for example, Mr. H doesn't like egg nog but loves the peppermint milkshake, so, we can offer him the milk shake and dump an egg nog on his head 😁

At the 4:30 mark, I just couldn't help myself any longer, and I busted out singing "The Wally World Theme Song!"(as sung by the Griswold family in the original "National Lampoon's Vacation" movie from 1983), as you all gathered in front of your Christmas tree, and raised your "Marty Moose" glasses to taste your delicious holiday-themed Peppermint Milkshakes! I'm here to offer to everyone the lyrics to this Christmas and Holidays Classic (huh??? LOL!), so that everyone can sing along and celebrate the Spirit of the Season!, (or the spirit of cross-country car trips with the family 😂!: "Who's the moosiest moose we know? Marty Moose!" "Who's the star of our favorite show? Marty Moose!" "M is for Merry - we're merry, you see; O is for Oh gosh, Oh golly, Oh gee; S is for Super Swell family glee; E is for Everything you want to be.

I have never had that shake. But have made peppermint crack. Melt white chocolate add in some crushed peppermint, poor it on a cookie sheet (with parchment paper on it). You can sprinkle on more crushed peppermint if you want. Let it cool, then just break it up in pieces, with your hand, not a mallet. ;).

Marty Moose Mugs make everything better lol....Mrs H a quick & easy life hack tip is to just break the candy canes in their wrappers then cut off the tip of the long end so you can pour out the broken bits or just cut the seam on the side instead of fighting with the wrapper....btw there's different kinds of peppermint so some are bolder in flavor than others
