The New Orleans-born chicken brand teamed up with Smurfs ahead of the release of the new film.
And it also coincides with the upcoming summer school break.
The new range features four limited-edition menu items which all contain Spirulina.
The incredible superfood - which is the inspiration for the fictional Smurfberry - gives the food its eyecatching blue colour.
The star of the new line-up is the Smurfberry Shake, made with the chain's creamy Jersey Dairy shake mix.
It is blended with berry and vanilla flavours and packed with Spirulina for its vibrant blue colour.
The shake is topped with whipped cream and sweet Smurfberry sauce.
Fans can also try the Smurfberry Whipz – Jersey Dairy vanilla ice cream swirled with the same berry sauce.
There is even a smaller Mini Smurfberry Whipz for those looking for a lighter treat.
Kids can also getting a treat with the Poppy Box - now with a Smurf makeover.

It includes a kids Chicken Sandwich, Wrap or Tenders plus a side.
Children can choose between Mac & Cheese, Kids Salad or Fries - and can also get a drink.
Each box even comes with Smurf activity sheets and crayons.
The Smurf Poppy Box is available across the UK for just £2.99 throughout the school summer holidays.
Head of Food at Popeyes UK Dave Hoskins said: 'This marks the first occasion that Popeyes, and UK fried chicken restaurants in general, have used Spirulina as an ingredient.
"With the perfect blue hue, the trending superfood was the obvious choice for our real-world Smurfberry in the Smurfberry Whipz and Shakes."
He added: "With fans able to nab a taste of the Smurfberry from just £1.99, it's not one to be missed."
The new Smurfberry Range will be available until August 31 in Popeyes restaurants and drive-thrus nationwide.
Fast-food fans can also get it via delivery and on the Popeyes app.
The new release is hitting screens on July 18 - and stars Rihanna, James Corden and Jimmy Kimmel.
