Looking for a snack? The Freddy’s Smash Burger Taco is here! Visit Freddy’s to try this viral-inspired treat and the new Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate Frost today.
Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is kicking off the new year by turning a viral social media sensation into a menu reality. Starting today (January 7, 2026), the fast-casual chain is officially introducing the Smash Burger Taco, along with a cozy new Hot Chocolate Frost, as part of its limited-time winter lineup.
Freddy’s Smash Burger Taco: A Viral Favorite Hits the Menu
The viral sensation of the Smash Burger Taco has been around for a while. For example, Walt Disney World visitors have seen it at City Works Eatery & Pour House at Disney Springs.
The Freddy’s Smash Burger Taco is a take on the “Big Mac Taco” trend that took the internet by storm. Rather than a traditional bun, this innovative snack features a signature thin-pressed steakburger patty topped with melted American cheese, fresh lettuce, and Freddy’s Signature Jalapeño Fry Sauce, all folded into a grilled flour tortilla. Priced at just $3.49 (prices may vary by location), the item is positioned as a key highlight of Freddy’s 2026 Value Snack Menu.
“Freddy’s new Smash Burger Taco is a culinary twist on everything our guests love about our signature steakburger,” said Rick Petralia, chef and director of menu strategy & innovation for Freddy’s. “We’ve reimagined it into a convenient, craveable, and perfectly snack-sized option.”
Cozy Winter Sips
To complement the savory new taco, Freddy’s is leaning into winter flavors with the Hot Chocolate Frost. This treat is crafted using Freddy’s famous creamy vanilla frozen custard blended with Ghirardelli hot cocoa. To finish it off, each drink is topped with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.
For those looking for a lighter treat, Freddy’s is also offering Mini Frosts for just $2.00, providing an affordable way to sample the new Hot Chocolate flavor or other favorites like the lemonade or orange crème blends.
Availability
Both the Freddy’s Smash Burger Taco and the Hot Chocolate Frost are available at participating Freddy’s locations nationwide starting January 7, 2026. Like all seasonal items, these are only available for a limited time, so fans of the viral trend should head to their local drive-thru sooner rather than later.
Guests visiting Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando Resort can find a Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers location nearby at 8107 Vineland in Orlando near the outlets.
