Get ready to go green! St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and that means your favorite fast-food spots and dessert destinations are rolling out their festive, minty, and oh-so-delicious treats. But don’t wait too long—these goodies are only available for a limited time. Here’s where to get your shamrock-themed sugar fix this March:

McDonald’s: Shamrock Shake

The OThe OG St. Patrick’s treat. McDonald’s Shamrock Shake was created in 1967 by a McDonald’s owner in Connecticut to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It officially debuted in 1970 and has since become a beloved seasonal favorite. This mint-flavored milkshake is made with creamy vanilla soft serve, Shamrock syrup, and topped with whipped cream.

Bonus: This year, 25 cents from every Shamrock Shake sold at participating restaurants nationwide will support local Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) families.

Arby’s: Andes Mint Chocolate Shake

Arby’s may “have the meats” for the other 364 days of the year, but on St. Patrick’s Day, they’ve got the mints! The Andes Mint Chocolate Shake is a rich and creamy treat, blending cool mint chocolate flavor with their signature shake. It’s topped with whipped cream and crunchy chopped Andes Candy Pieces.

Dairy Queen: Mint OREO^® Blizzard^® Treat

A classic with a lucky twist! The Mint OREO® Blizzard® Treat combines crunchy, chocolatey OREO® cookie pieces with cool mint topping and DQ’s world-famous soft serve. Every bite is a mix of creamy, crunchy, and refreshingly minty flavors.

Culver’s: Mint Shake + Reuben

Try your luck this March with Culver’s Mint Fresh Frozen Custard paired with their Grilled Reuben Melt. Culver’s famous Mint Fresh Frozen Custard is a perfectly smooth and refreshing treat. While their Grilled Reuben Melt is a savory match featuring corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing on grilled rye bread. It’s a match made in March!

Baskin Robbins: St. Patrick’s Day Cake

It’s your lucky day!🍀 Baskin Robbins has cake designs for every occasion, including St. Patrick’s Day!  These festive cakes can be customized with your favorite combination of cake and ice cream, making them the perfect way to celebrate with family and friends.

Krispy Kreme: Green Glazed Doughnuts

While not officially announced yet, history tells us that Krispy Kreme’s Green Glazed Doughnuts will likely make their grand return this St. Patrick’s season. If you’ve never had one, imagine their signature Original Glazed Doughnut—just with a festive, lucky-green twist. Keep an eye out!

Starbucks: Luck of the Matcha Creme Frappuccino

While it’s unclear if Starbucks will bring back their Luck of the Matcha Crème Frappuccino this year, you can still create your own version! Simply order a Matcha Crème Frappuccino and ask for whipped cream, caramel sauce, and caramel-sugar topping (if available). It’s a fun, festive way to sip your way through St. Paddy’s Day.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re a fan of minty shakes, festive cakes, or classic doughnuts, there’s no shortage of St. Patrick’s Day-inspired treats this season. But remember, these delights won’t be around forever—so don’t miss your chance to taste the luck of the Irish while you can!
