Wendy's Frosty: Prices, Sizes, Flavors & Calories (2026)

How much is a Wendy's Frosty?

A Classic Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty costs about $1.59 to $1.90 for a junior, $2.39 to $2.49 for a small, $3.09 to $3.30 for a medium and $3.49 to $4.00 for a large. Both flavors are priced the same.

Those ranges are the middle half of Wendy's own pickup prices at the U.S. stores we checked in late October 2026. The extremes were wider: the cheapest junior we saw was 99 cents and the priciest large was $4.19. The junior is still one of the cheapest items on the whole menu, which is why so many people add one to a meal just to dip fries.

The Frosty is listed on Wendy's lunch menu, which starts at 10:30 a.m., so most stores will not sell one during breakfast. The rest of the dessert and drink lineup is on our Wendy's menu page.

What sizes does a Wendy's Frosty come in?

The Classic Frosty comes in four sizes: junior, small, medium and large. Swirls and Fusions come in three: small, medium and large.

Calories rise steadily with size. A junior Classic Frosty has 190 calories and 6 grams of protein, while a large has 510 calories and 15 grams. Chocolate and vanilla are within a gram or two of each other on every measure.

The table shows price and calories side by side so you can pick the size that fits. If you only want a few spoonfuls, the junior is plenty.

What Wendy's Frosty flavors are available now?

Wendy's sells eight Frosty flavors in late October 2026: Classic Chocolate and Vanilla, three Frosty Swirls and three Frosty Fusions. You can build each Swirl and Fusion on a vanilla or chocolate base.

Frosty Swirls add a ribbon of syrup: Strawberry, Caramel or Brownie Batter. A small costs about $2.99 to $3.19, a medium $3.69 to $3.89 and a large $3.99 to $4.49.

Frosty Fusions blend in mix-ins: Cookie Dough, OREO Brownie or Caramel Crunch. In our check they cost about $4.19 for a small, $4.99 for a medium and $5.49 for a large at most stores.

The Fusions are the heaviest choice. A large Cookie Dough Frosty Fusion has 930 calories, nearly double a large Classic. The Strawberry Swirl is the lightest flavored option, at 350 calories for a small.

Seasonal flavors come and go. The Apple Crumble Frosty Fusion, launched Aug. 3, 2026, did not appear on any store menu we checked on Oct. 31, so treat it as finished.

Is there a free or cheap Wendy's Frosty deal?

There is no free Frosty deal running in late October 2026, but Wendy's Rewards members can trade 250 points for a small Classic Frosty. At 10 points per $1 spent on food, that takes $25 of spending.

Wendy's runs short Frosty promotions a few times a year, usually through the app:

• 67-cent small Frosty: Black Friday, Nov. 28, 2025, in restaurants and online, then app-only through Dec. 7, 2025. It played on the "6-7" meme.
• $1 small Classic Frosty: July 20 to Aug. 23, 2026, at participating U.S. stores, with app-only early access on July 19 for National Ice Cream Day. It was limited to ten per order and excluded delivery.

Neither offer is active now. Watch the app's Offers tab for the next one. The Raven's Blood Frosty, a dark-cherry swirl, was part of the 2025 Wednesday Meal; see our Wendy's deals page for that story and today's bundles.

What is in a Wendy's Frosty?

A Classic Frosty is a frozen dairy dessert made mainly from milk, sugar, corn syrup, cream, whey and nonfat milk, with cocoa added for chocolate. Small amounts of stabilizers such as guar gum, cellulose gum and carrageenan keep it thick.

That thickness is the point: it is firmer than a shake, so you can eat it with a spoon. Wendy's allergen data lists milk for the Classic Frosty and notes soy only in Alaska and Hawaii. Fusions and the Brownie Batter Swirl add wheat from their mix-ins. For full allergen notes across the menu, see our Wendy's nutrition guide, and for the fries most people dip, our Wendy's fries page.
