Dr Pepper is launching a Creamy Coconut Shake in August 2025, but no fast-food chain has officially claimed it. Fans speculate that Wendy’s, Whataburger, or McDonald’s could serve up this limited-time summer treat.
Dr Pepper is diving into the summer shake game with a Creamy Coconut Shake, but there’s one catch—no one knows which fast-food chain will carry it. A leaked promo image revealed that two Dr Pepper milkshake flavors—Classic Dr Pepper and Creamy Coconut—are set to launch in August 2025, yet no restaurant has officially claimed them. The secrecy surrounding the rollout has fueled speculation, with fans guessing whether Wendy’s, Whataburger, or McDonald’s will be the lucky chain to serve up the new frozen treat.
The Creamy Coconut Shake blends Dr Pepper’s signature 23 flavors with a smooth coconut twist, creating a rich, tropical take on the classic soda-inspired shake. While Dr Pepper has previously released limited-edition Creamy Coconut soda, this marks the first time the flavor has been transformed into a milkshake. Early testers describe it as sweet, creamy, and slightly nutty, with a refreshing finish perfect for summer.
Despite the buzz, no fast-food chain has officially confirmed that it will carry the shake. However, industry insiders suggest that Wendy’s and Whataburger are strong contenders, given their history of offering Dr Pepper-themed shakes. Some fans have also speculated that McDonald’s or Jack in the Box could surprise customers with the launch.
