WINTER is coming to Chick-fil-A, but not without some controversy.
A Chick-fil-A employee has leaked details of the chain’s upcoming winter menu weeks before its official release, sparking excitement — and confusion — among fans.
The leaked menu, posted to Instagram, reveals the return of beloved seasonal items, but customers are noticing something strange: the release dates seem to keep getting delayed.
According to the leak, two fan favorites are making a return next month: the Peppermint Chip Milkshake and the Chicken Tortilla Soup.
Both items have become staples of Chick-fil-A’s winter offerings, with many customers eagerly anticipating their arrival as soon as the temperatures drop.
The Peppermint Chip Milkshake, made with the chain’s signature Icedream dessert and peppermint bark chips, is a sweet indulgence that’s been described as the perfect holiday treat.
The Chicken Tortilla Soup, a creamy, savory blend of chicken, beans, and vegetables, is also a seasonal must-have for many.
MENU MIXUP
But while the menu items are a hit, some fans are frustrated by what they perceive as shifting release dates.
The leak claims the Chicken Tortilla Soup will be available starting November 13, with the Peppermint Chip Milkshake following on November 18.
However, several longtime customers have pointed out that these items used to be available earlier in the year, with some even claiming they’ve seen the soup hit stores as early as October in previous years.
Fans took to social media to express their confusion.
“They keep pushing the soup back..or am I trippin?
“Cause I could’ve sworn one year it was released in October!”
Another chimed in, “I could’ve sworn last year it was like the first week of November.”
This isn’t the first time fans have raised concerns about changing release dates.
Chick-fil-A’s seasonal menu has a loyal following, and any slight change in timing can cause a stir among its dedicated customers.

Here are the leaked release dates:
- Chicken Tortilla Soup: November 13
- Peppermint Chip Milkshake: November 18
Whether the chain is adjusting its calendar or whether the perceived delays are simply a result of excited anticipation, the conversation is heating up just in time for the winter season.
Despite the confusion, fans are still excited about the return of their favorite winter items.
The Peppermint Chip Milkshake and Chicken Tortilla Soup have become as much a part of the season as holiday shopping and cozy sweaters.
As long as the treats make it to stores next month, many customers are likely to forgive the timing discrepancies.
For now, fans will just have to wait and see if the leak holds true—and whether Chick-fil-A will address the claims of delayed releases.
