McDonald's Is Releasing a New Frappé — and You Get to Decide What to Call It

McDonald's has a brand-new frappé to love — and it's as sweet as they come. 

On Wednesday, McDonald's announced it's now serving a Dulce de Leche Frappé, and is teaming up with Mexican actor Iñaki Godoy, known for his role in Netflix's "One Piece," to spread the good news. 

"Dulce de leche goes by many names. Whether you know it as cajeta, manjar, manjar blanco, arequipe, milk candy, fanguito, doce de leite, leche quemada or any other name, this sweet staple is a unifying flavor for Latinos, evoking memories of home, no matter where you’re from," McDonald's shared in its announcement. It added that together with Godoy its "inviting our fans to enjoy the flavor that speaks their language in a uniquely sweet way, reminding you that no matter what you call it, it’s a Dulce de Leche Frappé at McDonald’s." 

However, like most great things, this flavor too is only available for a limited time, so if you see it on a menu near you, get one…or two…just in case. 

The fast-food giant is also unleashing a few Dulce de Leche carritos at select McDonald’s locations in Southern California and Miami from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. local time on December 6, 7, 13, and 14 to give away free samples. It added that fans can "also score exclusive merch, win Arch Cards, and more — all while supplies last." 

In Southern California, the cart will be at the McDonald's at 48350 Seminole Dr., Cabazon, CA 92230 on December 6 and the 7861 Beach Blvd. Buena Park, CA 90620 location on December 7. It will then visit Miami at 1400 SW 8th St, Miami, FL 33135 on December 13 and 1650 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 on December 14. 

This isn't the only new thing McDonald's has going on. In late November, it also unveiled its new McValue platform, which Food & Wine previously reported will display every special offer available to customers and help patrons who may not be able to afford higher prices leverage the brand's deals. 

“When it comes to value, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all,” Joe Erlinger, the president of McDonald's USA, shared at the time. “We worked closely with our franchisees to create a new platform that will let our customers define value on their own terms.” But this new platform isn't rolling out until January, so perhaps enjoy a frappé while you wait.
