Decadent Holiday QSR Menus

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hardee’s is Reintroducing Items for a Limited Time During the Holidays

— October 31, 2024 — Marketing
The limited-edition holiday quick-serve restaurant menus are debuting as we get closer to the festivities and brands seek to capture the spirit through one's taste buds at an affordable price. Hardee’s, for instance, is reintroducing its Cinnamon 'N' Raisin Biscuits and Candied Bacon for a limited holiday season.

The cinnamon-filled biscuits with raisins gained quick popularity, following their revival in 2023. This year’s offering includes the biscuits in single or multi-packs, accompanied by the returning cherrywood-smoked Candied Bacon, which is prepared in-house with caramelized brown sugar and a touch of black pepper. Available as part of various menu items, including a breakfast biscuit and the Candied Bacon Frisco Burger, this holiday special aims to cater to fans of both sweet and savory flavors.
