Get ready to take your appetite on an epic adventure as Burger King® teams up with Universal Pictures to celebrate the upcoming release of the highly anticipated live-action How to Train Your Dragon film. Beginning Tuesday, May 27, fans can embark on a culinary journey to the mythical Isle of Berk with an all-new, limited-time lineup of dragon-inspired menu items designed to honor the fire and fantasy of the beloved movie franchise.
Timed perfectly to coincide with the June 13 premiere of the new How to Train Your Dragon film, this promotional campaign marks a bold and imaginative effort by Burger King to bring movie magic into its restaurants nationwide. With four distinctive and flavorful offerings, each designed to represent the fiery spirit of dragons and the courage of Viking heroes, the collaboration invites Guests of all ages to become honorary Dragon Trainers for a limited time.
A Flame-Kissed Feast Fit for the Isle of Berk
At the heart of this sizzling promotion is the Dragon Flame-Grilled Whopper®, a fiery twist on the legendary burger that made Burger King famous. This special-edition Whopper features a quarter-pound* of flame-grilled beef nestled in a striking red-and-orange-marbled bun, colored naturally using a blend of spices and vegetable-based ingredients to mimic the swirling heat of dragon fire. The burger is piled high with classic toppings—melted American cheese, crispy bacon strips, fresh-cut tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced onions, tangy pickles, rich ketchup, and creamy mayo—delivering a layered bite that’s equal parts spicy, smoky, and satisfying.
But the excitement doesn’t stop with the main event. Burger King’s culinary team has also introduced a fiery new side that’s sure to appeal to fans of bold flavor: Fiery Dragon Mozzarella Fries. These crave-worthy bites elevate traditional mozzarella sticks by coating them in a zesty breading infused with Calabrian chili peppers and diced sweet and hot peppers. Each crunchy bite reveals warm, melty mozzarella and just the right amount of spice. To top it off, these are served in a whimsical carton shaped like Toothless, the iconic Night Fury dragon, making them as fun to eat as they are delicious.
A Refreshing and Sweet Conclusion to the Adventure
To wash down all that heat, BK is offering a limited-time beverage: the Soaring Strawberry Lemonade. Crafted with real fruit juice**, this refreshing drink combines tangy lemonade with sweet strawberry flavors, perfect for cooling off after a dragon-sized meal. The vibrant pink hue of the drink reflects the uplifting and adventurous nature of the movie and offers a flavorful escape for fans of all ages.
Rounding out the themed menu is the Viking’s Chocolate Sundae, a delectable dessert that brings a playful nod to Viking lore and dragon scales. The sundae features Burger King’s signature vanilla soft serve topped with rich HERSHEY’S® chocolate syrup and a generous sprinkle of cookie crumbles in black and green—a color scheme inspired by the scales and mysterious look of dragons. Whether you’re celebrating a victorious training session or just in the mood for a sweet treat, this sundae is the perfect finale to your dragon-themed feast.
More Than Just a Meal: Games, Prizes, and a Grand Adventure
Burger King’s commitment to bringing this partnership to life doesn’t end at the menu. In conjunction with the release of the film, the fast-food chain is launching an exclusive digital experience called “Night Fury Flight,” a themed game available only through the BK mobile app and website. Running from May 27 through July 15, the game allows Royal Perks members to play daily for chances to unlock special offers and enter sweepstakes for exciting prizes.
Among the prizes are digital AMC Theatres® gift cards, which can be used to see How to Train Your Dragon in theaters, and the ultimate grand prize: an all-expenses-paid trip for four to Universal Orlando Resort.
