To mark the upcoming release of Wonka, IHOP has announced a unique collaboration with Warner Bros Pictures—bringing a special, limited-time menu inspired by the film. Nine whimsical food and beverage items will be available at participating restaurants nationwide until January 7, 2024.
For the unfamiliar, Wonka—set to hit theaters on December 15, 2023—narrates the origin story of the world’s greatest inventor and chocolate maker, Willy Wonka.
Echoing the movie’s theme of joy and magic, IHOP’s limited-edition menu invites guests to immerse themselves in the wondrous world through a variety of creatively themed dishes.
One can tuck into Wonka’s Perfectly Purple Pancakes, a delightful stack of purple buttermilk pancakes layered with creamy cheesecake mousse, topped with purple cream cheese icing, whipped topping, and gold glitter sugar.
Other options include the Hoverchoc Pancake Tacos, the Daydream Berry Biscuit, the Jr. Magical Breakfast Medley, and Willy’s Jr French Toast Dippers.
For beverages, diners can choose from the refreshing prickly pear-flavored Dreamy Lemonade or the Scrumdiddlyumptious Strawberry Hot Chocolate, A strawberry-flavored drink topped with whipped cream.
“IHOP has established itself as a highly creative and collaborative theatrical partner in the family dining category, and the latest Wonka menu is the brand’s most creative partnership yet,” said Kieran Donahue, chief marketing officer at IHOP.
“Every good thing in this world started with a dream, and we are excited to continue serving more joy to more people every day and bringing families together for breakfast, lunch or dinner with this innovative menu of original items, inspired by the story of Willy Wonka.”
