Taco Bell is Adding a New Midnight Cherry Freeze Drinks

— November 16, 2024 — Lifestyle
Taco Bell is embracing the darkest season of the year with the debut of its new Midnight Cherry Freeze drink.

Available for a limited time, the new Midnight Cherry Freeze drink takes the chain's Blue Raspberry Freeze and swirls in a sweet black cherry-flavored syrup to create what the brand is calling a "midnight-inspired, dual-flavor experience." If this sounds a bit familiar, it's because the brand introduced a limited-edition Midnight Berry Freeze drink back in 2021 with a similar, nighttime theme.

Along with the new Midnight Cherry Freeze drink, Taco Bell is also bringing back the popular Blue Raspberry Freeze drink itself. Best of all, you can score either of these drinks for $1 during Taco Bell's Happier Hour promotion, which is available daily from 2 to 5 p.m. at participating locations.
