Zaxbys Holiday Menu Items for 2026
The holiday lineup includes two new items:
- Honey Chipotle Sauce, a sweet and spicy sauce for Chicken Fingerz and Wings
- Peppermint Cookies & Cream Shake, a hand-spun peppermint milkshake with cookies and cream pieces
Honey Chipotle Sauce Ingredients and Flavor
The new Honey Chipotle Sauce is made with honey, brown sugar, red chili and chipotle peppers. The honey and brown sugar add sweetness, and the chilies and peppers add heat. Zaxbys is pairing it with its Chicken Fingerz and Wings, though guests can order it with other menu items as well.
Peppermint Cookies and Cream Shake Details
The Peppermint Cookies & Cream Shake starts with a hand-spun, peppermint-flavored milkshake. Cookies and cream pieces are mixed in and added on top. It’s a seasonal item available through the holidays.
Zaxbys Holiday Menu Release Date
Both the Honey Chipotle Sauce and the Peppermint Cookies & Cream Shake will be available at Zaxbys locations nationwide starting Monday, Nov. 2, 2026. That includes Zaxbys restaurants across Middle Tennessee. Guests can order in the restaurant, at the drive-thru, or online.
Early Access for Zax Rewardz Members
Zax Rewardz members didn’t have to wait until November for the new sauce. Honey Chipotle Sauce became available Oct. 26 only for rewards members ordering through the Zaxbys App, zaxbys.com, and third-party delivery. The early access applies only to the sauce, not the shake.
Holiday Packaging for Zax Packz
Zaxbys is also offering its Zax Packz in holiday-themed packaging this season. The family-style meal packs are available at the drive-thru and work well for holiday gatherings. The chain says more seasonal packaging will roll out throughout the holidays.
More Zaxbys Holiday Items Coming Later This Season
Zaxbys has said the current holiday menu is only the first wave, with more seasonal additions planned for later in the season. To check menu availability, find a Zaxbys near you or visit www.zaxbys.com.
