McDonald’s is getting into the holiday spirit with a new lineup of seasonal drinks, and one particular flavor is already winning over customers. And no, it’s not peppermint! The fast-food chain recently introduced its Frosted Cranberry Splash with Sprite, a festive twist on the lemon-lime soda we all know and love, combining cranberry and orange flavors with cold foam and cranberry sprinkles. And if social media reactions are any indication, it’s definitely worth a taste.

Customers have been sharing their reactions to the new beverage online, with some calling it the perfect holiday drink and others saying they can’t get enough. Between its bright red color and sweet, fruity flavor, McDonald’s latest seasonal offering is getting plenty of attention from fans.

McDonald’s Customers Can’t Get Enough Of The New Frosted Cranberry Splash

The new Frosted Cranberry Splash with Sprite officially arrived at McDonald’s on November 3, giving customers a new way to enjoy the classic beverage. Plus, it’s a nice escape for those who aren’t big fans of peppermint, or who have been awaiting the end of pumpkin spice season. The drink features Sprite mixed with cranberry-orange flavoring and topped with cold foam and cranberry sprinkles. Customers can’t get enough of the combination.

In a recent post on Reddit’s r/McDonalds community titled “The new sprite cranberry drink has no business being this good,” one customer shared their enthusiasm for the new beverage.

“I love cranberry seasonal drinks (like the cranberry ginger ale you can buy, etc) and i LOVE this new cranberry sprite drink!!” they wrote. They added that the sprinkles were the only thing they could do without, but that “everything else is great.”

Other Reddit users were quick to agree. One commenter said, “I am addicted to it. I’ll order food to go anywhere and go to McD’s just for that drink.”

Another summed up the flavor combination simply, writing, “Sprite + cranberry = fancy drink in our house.”
