Ended up running out to try the fruitcake frappuccino and I'm honestly REALLY impressed!!!! Definitely my favorite Frappuccino from here, usually I think Starbucks is a rip off but I felt this was worth it because there was just so much included! Definitely very sweet and not boring at all, also snagged myself the last sweater for it near my house! Definitely worth the calories!

Hmm I just may try this! I have a 50 gift card to starbucks I've had for a year and haven't used lol. Funny I was just thinking the other day I've never had real fruitcake, I don't even know what it tastes like so I looked it up and it sounds delicious, why does it get such a bad rap?

To be honest I've never had actual fruitcake either, but I mean, I feel like it's something I would enjoy a lot (especially after trying this frappuccino)! I was going to buy Entenmann's fruit cake last year but noticed the calories, apparently fruit cake has a TON of calories so I've become a little hesitant. But I doubt it's as repulsive as people make it seem. What is repulsive was this sunflower bread I tried once, it was soggy, weird, and gross. By the way, the fruitcake frappuccino was only on sale through Sunday (yesterday) according to Starbucks, but the barista who made it for me (twice, I went back to order one for my coworkers to try) informed me that they carry everything they put in it all the time so they can absolutely make it again.

@hgycta this seems right up your alley.

Oh my... that IS right up my alley! So much! I fall head over heels for red velvet, and although I'm not normally a huge Kit Kat person I've splurged on several international flavors that caught my eye (purple potato, pumpkin, green tea, sake, etc) so I'm really happy this is a flavor being released in our own country for once! Definitely intrigued! I noticed Valentine's Day candy already out at Wegman's when I was there, I should have checked for this!!!! And those cheesecake M&M's! I normally don't care for cheesecake, but cheesecake flavored products I seem to be crazy about for whatever reason.

It's a scalding hot sort of pudding/custard. Delish, for fast-food-fare, by the way.

Not a fan of mint-flavored food, but the cookie crumble on this makes it worth it!

Oooh, I remember visiting this company a booth at the Natural Products Expo this past September! They gave out free pops to everyone that passed by. I got a strawberry one and was really impressed, especially since I don't normally like strawberry ice cream treats. Haven't bought them since then, though, since the only place near me that sells them is the Fresh Market, and their prices there absurdly high.

When/where is it going to be available anyway? Can't find the information anywhere. Will be curious about reviews though.

Guessing it's tiny for the calories, lol.

The Impulsive Buy has a review from 2010. I saw another from 2013 too, I think.

Something like this will ALWAYS be too tiny for the calories.

I pass a couple Mcdonalds on my evening walks. Depending on the goodies we get at work, and if I can actually have the will power to not eat any of it, I'll probably stop off to see if they're selling it and, hell yeah! Grab one.

I'll admit, I work at McDonald's and I love it.
We've had the Holiday Pie in my store (I work at one in Maryland) for MONTHS now, and it is really really good! I'll be honest, I don't like it as much as the Pumpkin & Cream pie we discontinued, but if I had to describe it it's like a sugar cookie crust with a boston kreme filling. It's not good unless they just made it though, so if you go to a store and it's been sitting out for a while don't bother. It's surprisingly not as sweet as you'd expect it to be, but it's very good and quite filling for a tiny pastry!
Unfortunately my store never got the egg nog base for the milkshakes this year, now THAT was something I was looking forward to. I tried the egg nog shake once several years ago (a ton of calories as you can imagine) and it was so great.
