Fans of Chick-fil-A's limited menu items should get excited.

On Thursday, Dec. 21, a popular food influencer, known as Markie_devo on Instagram, reported that Chick-fil-A is bringing back the Mango Passion Sunjoy beverage after its previous 2020 appearance on the menu.

According to the report, the fan-favorite beverage—which can be ordered as a lemonade, iced tea or a frosted lemonade—features a mix of Chick-fil-A's classic lemonade and unsweetened iced tea, as well as mango and passionfruit flavors.

As for when the Mango Passion Sunjoy beverage is set to reappear? It's said the refreshing drink will be available to order starting Jan. 8 and will last through April 2024.

Talk about starting the New Year off on a refreshing note!

Of course, this isn't the only Chick-fil-A update to make headlines this December. Earlier this month, it was reported that the fast food restaurant—which is famously closed on Sundays—may have to be open seven days a week at certain locations.

Specifically, it may soon be forced to open its stores along Interstate 90 if a new bill presented to the New York State Assembly is signed into law.

"While there is nothing objectionable about a fast food restaurant closing on a particular day of the week, service areas dedicated to travelers is an inappropriate location for such a restaurant," the bill explained, in part. "Publicly owned service areas should use their space to maximally benefit the public. Allowing for retail space to go unused one seventh of the week or more is a disservice and unnecessary inconvenience to travelers who rely on these service areas."

For those wondering, there are currently seven Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout multiple New York State Thruway rest stops.
