Wendy’s Frosty Frights Kids’ Meal toys are back for a third Halloween, and Wendy’s has now officially confirmed the 2026 lineup. Starting September 14, there are 12 new toys to collect, six named characters and their variants, plus a secret 13th figure, and the $1 Boo! Books are on sale now.
The 2026 Frosty Frights toys and characters
The 2026 collection is all-new: six core characters, each with a rare variant, for 12 toys in total. Wendy’s has now named the six core characters, and here is the crew:
- Numb Chuck – a Frosty dressed as a ninja
- Sir Choc-O-Lot – a spectral armored knight
- E.A.T. – an extraterrestrial Frosty
- Cold Foot – an abominable snowman Frosty
- Shiver Wing – a bat Frosty
- Taranchilla – an eight-legged spider Frosty
Each toy comes with a sticker sheet and a mini trading card, and the Kids’ Meal arrives in a full-color themed bag. For younger kids, Wendy’s is again offering a Frosty Frights storybook as an alternative to a toy. Frosty Frights hide in the Kids’ Meal, which pairs the choice of 2-piece Chicken Tenders, 4-piece Chicken Nuggets, a Hamburger, or a Cheeseburger with Jr. Hot and Crispy Fries or Apple Bites and a Kids’ drink. Availability varies by restaurant, and toys are out while supplies last. This is the third Frosty Frights collection since Wendy’s launched the series in 2024. Seasonal, named food collectibles like these are part of a growing Halloween draw HAN detailed in our Halloween 2026 trends report.
The secret 13th toy is a Wendy’s Rewards exclusive
There is a catch-them-all twist this year. Wendy’s is offering an (un)lucky 13th Frosty Frights character that will not show up in any Kids’ Meal. It is exclusive to Wendy’s Rewards members through a Wendy’s Rewards Drop in the app, and Wendy’s says the details on how to secure it will be announced in the app in the coming weeks. If you want a shot at it, set up a Wendy’s Rewards account and keep the app handy so you do not miss the announcement.
Wendy’s $1 Boo! Books are back too
Alongside the toys, Wendy’s Boo! Books return as a $1 Halloween tradition, and they are available now. Each book holds five coupons for a free Jr. Frosty plus one coupon for a $1.99 Wendy’s Kids’ Meal with purchase, and 90 cents of every dollar goes to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption in its work to find permanent homes for children in foster care. The coupons are redeemable in-restaurant and are good through December 31, 2026.
You can buy Boo! Books at participating U.S. restaurants, in the Wendy’s app, at self-order kiosks through the “Give Something Back” option, or in bulk online through the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. They are here for a limited time, while supplies last.
Boo! Books and Frosty Frights in Canada
Wendy’s Canada joins in on September 28, with Boo! Books and a selection of six Frosty Frights collectibles at participating restaurants nationwide. In Canada the coupon book is $3, and all proceeds go to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption Canada.
For the rest of the season’s chain menus and drops, see our Fall Food and Drinks 2026 guide. Sonic Drive-In rolled out its Universal Monsters Wacky Pack toys the same season, and on the menu side Wendy’s is skipping pumpkin spice for a new Apple Crumble Frosty Fusion.
