16 Handles French Fry froyo
We’ve been tracking new froyo flavors all year and looking for flavor trends as well. This year we found 53 new froyo and froyo alternative flavors introduced by froyo chains. Last year, we found 69 new froyo and froyo alternative flavors. We know we missed some, but we did capture the new flavors from the largest froyo chains.
Just like in 2023, Menchie’s and 16 Handles tied again for the most new flavor introductions, with nine each. Last year, they both introduced eleven new flavors. TCBY tied for the 3rd spot with seven new flavor introductions.
We’ve organized the flavors alphabetically by shop name. The flavors are listed within each shop by the date of introduction, from earliest to latest.

Froyo vs. Froyo Alternatives
In 2024, new dairy-based frozen yogurt flavors accounted for 75% of the new 2024 flavors (compared to 61% in 2023). This continues the trend towards offering more dairy-based froyo flavors at froyo shops.
Of the non-froyo new flavors in 2024, we found eight new vegan (not sorbet) flavors (15% of new flavors), four new sorbet flavors (8% of new flavors, and one new ice cream flavor (2% of new flavors). This was comparable to last year, when we found 13 new non-dairy flavors (19% of new flavors), eight new sorbet flavors (12% of new flavors), one new ice cream flavor, two new Italian ice flavors, and 1 new gelato.
Specific Flavor Trends
We also looked at which flavors were the most popular. Some new flavors are a combination of flavors, e.g., blueberry lavender, and would fit into two flavor categories, floral and fruit. Fruit flavors have been the most popular new flavor introductions over the past few years, and this was true for 2024 as well, with 46% of the new flavors including a fruit flavor. The next most popular flavor categories were baked goods (17% of new flavors), chocolate (15% of new flavors), and unbaked desserts (13%).
There were some very creative flavors. 16 Handles easily had the most creative new flavors this year. French fry froyo says it all.
