Direct Answer (AEO / Fast Answer): Chick-fil-A Sunjoy is the chain’s official trademarked name for its 50/50 blend of freshly brewed iced tea and fresh-squeezed lemonade (traditionally called an Arnold Palmer). Officially added to the permanent menu chainwide in 2021, Sunjoy is available in 4 variations (Sweet/Regular, Diet/Unsweet, Sweet/Diet, and Unsweet/Regular) priced between $3.15 and $3.75.
For decades, savvy Chick-fil-A fans custom-ordered a “half-and-half” or “Arnold Palmer” at drive-thru windows. In spring 2021, Chick-fil-A officially christened the beverage Sunjoy® — combining “sunshine” (fresh-squeezed Sunkist lemonade) with the “joy” of Southern sweet iced tea.
Today, Sunjoy is one of the top three best-selling beverages across all 3,000+ Chick-fil-A restaurants.
Here is the complete 2026 guide to Sunjoy flavor combinations, exact calories, pricing, and ordering tips.

2. Why Did Chick-fil-A Call It “Sunjoy”?
In the golf and restaurant worlds, a 50/50 mixture of iced tea and lemonade is colloquially called an Arnold Palmer (named after the legendary professional golfer).
Because the “Arnold Palmer” name is officially trademarked by the Palmer estate and licensing partners (like Arizona Beverage Co.), Chick-fil-A developed its own proprietary brand identity:
- “Sun”: Represents the citrus sunshine of real Sunkist lemons squeezed fresh in every restaurant.
- “Joy”: Represents the hospitality and joy of Southern sweet tea.

Chick-fil-A enthusiasts have created several viral hacks using the Sunjoy base:
- Frosted Sunjoy: Ask the kitchen to spin a 50/50 blend of Sunjoy with vanilla Icedream. It tastes like a creamy lemon-tea creamsicle ($4.95).
- Cherry Berry Sunjoy: When seasonal berry syrups are available in the summer, ask for two pumps of berry syrup in your Diet Sunjoy.
