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.

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.
