Milkshake! is a television programming block on Five for children 2 to 7 years old. The strand debuted in 1997, and is broadcast on weekdays and Sundays from 6.00am to 9.00am. On Saturdays, the strand broadcast from 7.00am to 10:00am. Presentation links for Milkshake! are broadcast live from Five's headquarters in London.

Milkshake! is also broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays on digital channel Fiver between 6:00am and 11:45am. Milkshake! is a firm favorite with young kids.

Milkshake! will be also having its own TV channel. This is a response to the BBC launching the CBBC Channel and CBeebies in 2002 and ITV launching the CITV Channel in 2006. [1] However since this statement was made no other information regarding this channel has been released.
