Wendy’s fans may rejoice as the fast food chain is giving away free Frostys for one whole year. You heard it right, you can now get your favorite Frosty from the fast food chain for free for the next 365 days. Every year, as the holiday season begins to unfold, the fast food chain brings back its Frosty Key Tags, which, in simple terms are passes for a year's worth of free Frostys.

Available for purchase at your nearest store or through in-app and website orders, Wendy’s Frosty Key Tags can be purchased for a flat price of $2 and give a year's worth of free Jr. Frosty with every order. The tags come in two variants: physical (which can be used with your key chain) and digital (which comes as a daily offer in your account). Both tags are available for the same price, and they will be available for purchase through January 29, 2023.

The digital tag can only be used for orders made through the chain's app or website, while the physical tag can only be used for orders made in the store. Currently, the fast food chain offers two varieties of Frosty: the classic good Chocolate and the Peppermint Frosty, a new holiday flavor. The free Frosty offer is valid with all orders placed at participating locations and entitles customers to a free Jr. Frosty.
