There’s something magical about how the seasons influence our cravings—and few treats adapt better to those changing moods than milkshakes.

Let’s take a look at some of the must-try seasonal shake flavors and how they bring the spirit of the seasons to your cup.

Spring: Fresh Flavors & Fruity Vibes

Spring is all about renewal—flowers blooming, weather warming up, and the first taste of summer peeking through. It’s also the perfect time for shakes that are light, bright, and fruity.

Year-Round Hits with Seasonal Vibes

Some shakes from our menu are so versatile, they feel seasonal no matter what time of year you enjoy them.

🍫 Fluffernutter Shake

Made with marshmallow cream, peanut butter, and Hershey’s ice cream, our Fluffernutter Shake manages to feel both summery and wintery depending on your mood. The sweet-salty combo satisfies every kind of craving, and the marshmallow base gives it that nostalgic, fireside feel.

You can grab it any time—but it really hits the spot on cool spring evenings or post-summer sunsets.

Create Your Own Seasonal Signature

One of the coolest things about Cookie Dough Monster is how customizable our shakes can be. Want to remix a vanilla shake with graham cracker crumble for that “s’mores in summer” taste? Or blend peanut butter and banana in the fall for a cozy combo? We’re here for it.

Looking to create a one-of-a-kind shake for an upcoming event? Our catering team can work with you to design a shake bar with seasonal options your guests will love. From weddings to school parties, our mobile shake station brings flavor and fun.

Why Seasonal Shakes Hit Different

Why do we love seasonal shakes so much? It’s more than just flavor—it’s about emotion, nostalgia, and the feeling that your food matches your mood. A peppermint shake at Christmas feels like tradition. A strawberry banana shake in May feels like freedom. It’s part of what makes our dessert experience so memorable.

That’s why we keep reinventing our flavors and introducing new ones inspired by the time of year. At Cookie Dough Monster, we’re not just slinging milkshakes—we’re building crave-worthy experiences one cup at a time.
