The Fanta Haunted Apple ICEE has been announced by AMC Theatres as one of the latest flavors of the signature iced refreshment heading to its participating locations starting next month.
The limited-edition drink comes as an updated version of the Fanta Apple soda, but sees it prepared in the classic ICEE way to give it a decidedly more refreshing profile. The drink is arriving in celebration of the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film that's headed to theaters starting September 6, 2024 and can thus be enjoyed by fans for a short time only.
The Fanta Haunted Apple ICEE features a neon green color to pay homage to the Beetlejuice character himself, while a special edition cup features black and white stripes to match his suit aesthetic.
