We’ve all heard of popular LTOs (Limited Time Offerings) like the beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks or the McRib from McDonald’s, but what’s happening this holiday season? See below:
A Spin on Sweets
White chocolate peppermint: We’re used to seeing it in bark form, but at Yogurtland, it takes a cold turn. Even more indulgent? Try the Dunkin’ Donuts Caramel Cheesecake and Snickerdoodle Croissant donuts.
Redefined Classics
At Slater’s 50/50, you can get an early taste of Thanksgiving when you try their Thanksgiving Burger that’s made with a seasoned turkey patty, gravy, cranberry sauce and brioche dressing. At Denny’s, your breakfast can get a bit of the holiday treatment. Their “Build Your Own Holiday Slam” allows guests to choose any four items including pumpkin pancakes and gouda-apple chicken sausage.
Decadent Drinks
Eggnog is not the only boozy holiday drink you can enjoy this season. At Outback, you can enjoy their Gingerbread Martini—a creamy twist on a classic. Milkshake lovers rejoice because Chick-fil-A is offering their Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake and Steak ‘n Shake introduces a new seasonal shake called Cookie Butter.
It’s great to explore the innovative menu LTOs that restaurants ideate, but when framed as “seasonal offerings,” instead of the QSR- and chain-focused LTO, restaurants and foodservice concepts of all kinds can participate. What will you offer?
