Chick-fil-A Peppermint Milkshake (Copycat)
This Chick-fil-A Peppermint Milkshake copycat is a thick, creamy holiday drink made with vanilla ice cream, peppermint extract, crushed chocolate cookies, and milk. It delivers the same festive flavor and spoonable texture as the seasonal favorite, without waiting in the drive-thru or limiting it to winter.
