Holiday entertaining is arriving early across the country as Cracker Barrel Old Country Store rolls out its festive menu alongside complete Thanksgiving dinners designed for at-home gatherings. The Lebanon, Tennessee-based restaurant chain officially introduced its holiday lineup under the banner of its Get Your Season's Worth campaign. Available nationwide for a limited time, the seasonal collection introduces new handheld lunch options and sweet breakfast dishes while opening pre-orders for the brand’s popular Heat and Serve Thanksgiving feasts.
Inside The New Handheld Sandwich And Cinnamon Swirl Dishes
Headlining this year's seasonal dine-in innovations is the Country Fried Turkey Sandwich, which translates Cracker Barrel's traditional seasonal dinner plate into an everyday handheld. The sandwich layers a crispy, hand-breaded turkey tenderloin with savory herbed pan gravy and tart cranberry relish on a toasted bun.
For morning diners, the restaurant is expanding its skillet offerings with Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes. Inspired by the brand’s Cinnamon Swirl French Toast, the dish features fluffy buttermilk pancakes layered with cinnamon roll filling and drizzled with sweet cream cheese icing, served alongside two eggs and thick-sliced bacon or smoked sausage. The beverage lineup also welcomes a Cinnamon Swirl Latte, served hot or iced with whipped cream and cinnamon sprinkles, alongside a customizable Rich DIY Hot Chocolate.
