Chick‑fil‑A Tests Three Peppermint Cream Coffees in Jacksonville Through February

Chick‑fil‑A is testing a trio of peppermint-flavored coffee drinks at participating restaurants in Jacksonville, Florida, offering local customers a seasonal twist on the chain’s regular coffee lineup. The market test includes a hot Peppermint Cream Coffee, a Peppermint Cream Cold Brew served over ice, and a Frosted Peppermint Cream Coffee hand-spun with Icedream®; all three use Chick‑fil‑A’s proprietary coffee blend sourced by THRIVE Farmers and a sweetened vanilla cream with peppermint flavoring.

The test runs through Feb 27 while supplies last and is designed as a limited regional trial to gather customer feedback before any potential broader rollout. For Jacksonville regulars and visiting coffee fans, this is an early look at how peppermint can be integrated into a fast-food coffee program that typically emphasizes consistency and convenience.

Practically, the three formats give different ways to experience the flavor pairing. The hot Peppermint Cream Coffee will highlight the chain’s medium-roast profile and how peppermint interacts with warmer acidity and steam-warmed cream. The Peppermint Cream Cold Brew will show the pairing with cold brew’s lower perceived acidity and a longer, smoother mouthfeel. The Frosted Peppermint Cream Coffee, hand-spun with Icedream®, will present the peppermint-vanilla concept as a thicker, dessert-style option for people who prefer spoonable texture over sipping.

Community members who follow local coffee trends will care about this test for two reasons. First, Jacksonville customers have a direct chance to shape a national chain’s beverage menu by voting with their purchases and feedback during the trial window. Second, the test offers an affordable way to sample a seasonal flavor outside of traditional coffeehouse channels, and to compare hot versus cold presentations side by side.

If you plan to try the drinks, visit participating Chick‑fil‑A restaurants in Jacksonville while the test is active and supplies last. Expect a sweeter, vanilla-forward peppermint note due to the sweetened cream base; bring that into account if you normally modify syrups or milk levels. Ordering across the three formats can also be a quick taste-education session in how roast, extraction method, and texture change perceived sweetness and mint clarity.

Chick‑fil‑A’s use of THRIVE Farmers for its proprietary coffee blend signals continued attention to sourcing even within limited tests. How Jacksonville customers respond over the next month will determine whether peppermint cream becomes a temporary local novelty or a contender for wider distribution, so local feedback matters for the next menu move.
