Like other fast food chains, Sonic is starting to celebrate the holiday season by rolling out a festive new item called the Holiday Pecan Pie Flavor Funnel. Made with pieces of buttery shortbread and nutty pecans, the new shake is perfect for those who are eager to begin indulging in their favorite holiday treats.
The new Holiday Pecan Pie Flavor Funnel is a festive version of the Flavor Funnels that Sonic introduced this past summer. Like the other shakes in the lineup, the new drink features a creamy ice cream base mixed with delicious pie-inspired toppings such as sweet brown sugar, buttery shortbread pie crust and crunchy pecan pieces. The center of the shake is also stuffed with a rich chocolate funnel that gives the frozen dessert an extra indulgent flavor.
