When will McDonald’s Shamrock Shake come back

McDonald’s has set a return date for Shamrock Shake.

The fast-food giant announced on Wednesday that it is adding the legendary Shamrock Shake back to its menu for a limited time at participating McDonald’s locations nationwide beginning February 21st.

For those who are not familiar with the concoction, McDonald’s Shamrock Shake is a mint-flavored, vanilla-soft-serve-based drinkable dessert that comes with whipped topping. Invented in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, the original Shamrock Shake was created in 1967 by Connecticut McDonald’s owner-operator Hal Rosen. It later debuted in select locations across the U.S. in 1970 and became available nationwide for the first time in 2012.

Since then, McDonald’s Shamrock Shake has been available on and off, both nationally and regionally, through the years. It’s worthy to note, however, that this 2022 is the third year in a row that it will be available at participating restaurants across the country.

Alongside the announcement of Shamrock Shake’s 2022 return date, McDonald’s also revealed for the first time the hex code for the iconic color of the beloved seasonal shake.

“In our 50+ years of serving up this tasty treat, we’ve never given away the secret ingredient that makes ~Shamrock Shake green~ so iconic. Until now… #cbf2ac. “No, we didn’t just spill Shamrock Shake on our keyboard – that’s the hex code for the unmistakably minty color of Shamrock SZN,” read a portion of McDonald’s press release on Wednesday.

As for why McDonald’s finally decided to share Shamrock Shake’s hex code to the public, the company has this to say: “For years, Shamrockers across the country have gone green to show their love for this delicious dessert… from getting minty fresh manicures to proudly repping their Shamrock-inspired gear. And now, we’re helping all our fans make it #cbf2ac official.”
