This annual offer from Wendy’s definitely won’t leave bargain hunters in the cold…well, err, maybe just “a little Frosty”.
If you enjoy a little sweet treat with your meal (or just as a snack), you’ll definitely want to snag one of the restaurant’s popular key tags. The little tag is the key to a year’s worth of cool treats at no cost. A small investment (for a good cause) for a sweet payoff all year long in 2025.

2026 Frosty Key Tag Update
Wendy’s popular Frosty Key Tags are typically available in early December. However, this year, the 2026 Frosty Key Tags will not be available until early next year. Good news though, the 2025 Frosty Key Tag will be extended until the new tags are available.
From Wendy’s: “Wendy’s Frosty Key Tags benefiting Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption will be available at a NEW timeframe early next year.
Wendy’s has extended the use of the 2025 key tags until the 2026 key tags are available. For specific redemption questions, check with your local Wendy’s restaurant.”
There are three ways to purchase a Wendy’s Frosty Key Tag:??
In-Restaurant: Simply add a Frosty Key Tag to your order in-restaurant.??
Wendy’s App: Opt for a digital version to instantly receive your Frosty Key Tag as a mobile offer, which can be applied to future mobile orders and added to your Wendy’s Rewards card for in-restaurant scanning.
OR
Purchase a physical Frosty Key Tag with any in-app order.
Online: Purchase Frosty Key Tags in bulk on the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption site. (The shipping cost is nominal.)
Consider buying one for each family member for maximum savings. The tag pays for itself in just a few visits. If you frequent Wendy’s often, you’ll definitely enjoy lots of sweet savings before ringing in 2026.
Coolest of all, the proceeds benefit an important cause: Helping kids find a good, loving family to call home. Ninety percent of the proceeds from the sale of the tags goes to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
The key tags often sell out quickly, so don’t wait too long to get one. Otherwise, you really will be left in the cold on this deal.
