The latest edition of the cow-themed calendars, entitled "The Cows of Reality TV: You Can't Script the Fight Against Burgers," pays homage to some of today's most popular reality TV shows. In an effort to prove cows can do more than just make a good meal, the clever bovines star as the leading mammals and contestants on the reality shows featured each month in the calendar. Shows include "Boogyin with the Bovines," a dance competition featuring cows attempting to "show the world that it's better to see a cow cut a rug than see one become a cold cut" and "The Beefcake," a dating show starring 20 heifers vying to win the affection of a "prize bull."

The calendars can be purchased at any mall or stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant or at www.Chick-fil-A.com for $6 (plus tax) beginning Nov. 1 through early January (or until supplies last). The calendar also includes monthly food and beverage offers.

The holiday excitement continues with the seasonal Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake, which is back by popular demand on Chick-fil-A menus nationwide starting Nov. 1. As with the chain's year-round milkshake flavors, the Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake is hand-spun with Chick-fil-A's popular "home-style" Icedream® and topped with light whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Milkshakes are offered in 14 oz. or 20 oz. cups and are priced from $2.55 and $2.95, respectively.
