The Panera Holiday Soup Cup Collection is arriving as a limited-edition range of products that will help to shift the focus from cafe drinks to soup this holiday season. The cups come in three styles that can be purchased via The Panera Shop for $10 while supplies last and even comes with a $20 Panera Bread gift card that will enable customers to get their hands on some of the brand's delicious soup varieties. The cups are arriving hot on the heels of the brand's latest seasonal soups that were debuted in the fall in the new Hearty Fireside Chili and Rustic Baked Potato varieties alongside the returning Autumn Squash Soup.
Chief Marketing Officer Mark Shambura spoke on the Panera Holiday Soup Cup Collection saying, "Our signature soups have always been a guest favorite, and this year, our festive holiday soup cups are sure to add a touch of warmth and magic to every spoonful. These limited-edition cups are our twist on the holiday cup tradition, and hope our guests enjoy a uniquely Panera way to celebrate the season.”
