Milkshake! (stylised as milkshake!) is a British children's television programming block on Channel 5. Originally launched in 1997, it is currently aimed at children aged 2 to 7 and typically broadcasts from early morning till late morning.

The block features a mix of original UK series and imported shows, primarily from Australia, Canada, and the United States. Over the years, Milkshake! has included popular programmes such as Peppa Pig, Thomas & Friends, and Fireman Sam.

It has been produced by various entities, including Channel 5 and, formerly, the BBC and Fremantle. The block continues to be a key part of Channel 5’s children’s programming.

The block debuted on Channel 5 on 31st March 1997 and is currently broadcast on weekdays from 05:40 to 09:15 and weekends from 5:40am to 9:55am (9:50am on Sundays). The block has a number of presenters and features a range of children's programming.

Programmes for older children also aired from 1997 to 2002 and again from 2007 to 2016 on spin-off block Shake!, which, in its time, ran on weekends after Milkshake!.

Following Viacom's acquisition of Channel 5 in 2014 the block began airing Nick Jr. programmes including Paw Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Shimmer and Shine.

On 6 July 2017, Channel 5 announced a rebranding of Milkshake! that launched on 24 July, including updated branding, a new studio, and the launch of a YouTube channel that would feature digital content related to the block.

In November 2008, Channel 5 had been set to launch a new children's channel based on its pre-school programming block. This was a response to the BBC launching the CBBC channel and CBeebies in 2002 and ITV launching the CITV channel in 2006, but plans to launch a standalone preschool channel were put on hold indefinitely while the broadcaster awaited a buyer.^{[citation needed]}
