Shamrock Shakes Are Back For A Limited Time

McDonald's

McDonald's is getting into the St. Patrick's Day spirit early as their Shamrock Shakes return to restaurants nationwide.

From now until March 24, participating McDonald's locations will have the much-beloved green milkshakes on tap.

Since its debut in 1970, the shake has become a springtime staple, especially for McDonald's milkshake fans (like me) who prefer the mint flavor to strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla.

As always, only a limited amount of the shake is available. So if you've been craving one all year, don't wait and miss your chance!

To help customers make the most of the limited time offer, McDonald's has added a special Shamrock Shake tracker to their app. By typing in your zip code, you can pinpoint which McDonald's near you offer the shake.

Bear in mind, each large Shamrock Shake packs a whopping 800 calories, so try not to overindulge.

If you feel like sampling a new green treat this year, Dairy Queen is giving McDonald's a run for their money with a new Mint Shake.

Like McDonald's, Dairy Queen makes their Mint Shake by blending vanilla soft serve with minty syrup.
