Are you up for another round of new holiday menu releases? Get your lists ready as we’re about to show you must-try food items this holiday season.
When we talk about holidays, a big part of it comes with food with all the upcoming feasts, warm winter sweets, and snacks to accompany you while watching your Christmas marathon. Fast food restaurants take over this season to also celebrate a year’s worth of exciting food that they’ve brought fans.
This holiday season, we’re getting more than chills as Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, and Sweet Paris are bringing us new treats to snack on. If you’re up for something new to order, then these drops came at the perfect time. Ready? Let’s go!
Taco Bell
Move aside, McDonald’s! Your Chicken Strips comeback may be widely anticipated by many, but a new drop is about to clock you out, and you’d just have to blame Taco Bell for that. 🤣 Rivaling McDonald’s Chicken Strips are Taco Bell’s new Crispy Chicken Strips, which are currently being tested at Flint, Michigan locations. If you’re around the area, you’re lucky to be the first few fans to have a bite of these crisp chicken treats before they (hopefully) release them to a much bigger market.
These Crispy Chicken Strips are seasoned with Mexican spices. It has a crunchy tortilla chip-like coating in every bite. Want to know the best part? Taco Bell is also serving them in Tacos and Burritos together with their Spicy Ranchero and Avocado Ranchero sauces. If you remember, this is similar to McDonald’s McWraps, which was released in 2013 and is making a grand comeback by 2025.
But if the Taco Bell Snack Wraps are not far from where you live, or perhaps you happen to be in Flint, Michigan, then give these chicken wraps a try. You can pick the Crispy Chicken Strips individually, or you can choose from the following Snack Wraps that contain the strips:
- Spicy Ranchero Crispy Chicken Burrito
- Spicy Ranchero Crispy Taco
- Avocado Ranch Crispy Chicken Burrito
- Avocado Ranch Crispy Chicken Taco
What do you think of the new Snack Wrap options from Taco Bell? Make sure to give them some love for Taco Bell to release them in more locations until it reaches a nationwide level.

Jack in the Box
Have you been Noggy or Nice this year? That’s a question that the new sweet coolers from Jack in the Box have been asking fans. And if you’re up for a dessert, then you’ve come to the right place as Jack in the Box introduces their new desserts that make up their holiday menu.
Eggnogs are the dessert that inspired Jack in the Box to create a new shake and iced coffee beverage. They’re this warm winter drink that can be compared with melted vanilla ice cream or a glass of custard that is slightly spiced from cinnamon and nutmeg. What’s even more exciting is the addition of our favorite Biscoff bits to complete the beverages. Let’s check them out:
- Noggy or Nice Shake – If you love Jack’s Vanilla Shake, then you’d also enjoy this new blend. Served as the base, it is blended with eggnog flavors, and Biscoff cookie crumbs are finished off with a whipped topping on top.
- Noggy or Nice Sweet Cream Iced Coffee – If you prefer a little energizer, don’t worry, as you’ll still get that eggnog cure in an iced coffee form. It is made out of High Mountain Arabica coffee with sweetened cream. It has some eggnog flavoring, and it is finished with whipped cream and Biscoff cookie crumbs.
If you can’t get enough of Biscoff goodness, there are also Biscoff Donut Holes to pair your beverage with. You get three pieces of donut holes that are tossed in Biscoff cookie crumble for a crunch in every bite.
Now that you’ve picked to be Noggy for your treats, you can choose to be Nice to add your name to Jack’s Nice List. How? Purchase a limited-edition Holiday Ornament from Jack in the Box for just $2. The proceeds that the chain will get from the sales will go to nonprofit organizations that feed, educate, and empower the youth. This is the best Christmas gift you can give those in need of your support. Plus, you will have an ornament to hang around the tree to remind yourself that you made someone smile.
Sweet Paris
Another sweet treat is coming to you from the town’s favorite creparie, Sweet Paris! This creperie has become one of the best casual spots around Texas, Florida, Minnesota, and Mexico. While crepe is known to be a French treat, Sweet Paris adds a hint of other cultures through its crepes to welcome people from around the world.
This season, you will get a treat that is worth melting for with two new exciting crepes on the menu with the following:
- Santa Crepe – This crepe is made for Nutella lovers out there as it features a Nutella Mousse with strawberries and white chocolate morsels that are festive and eye-catching. Like any other crepe, it’s finished off with a pinch of powdered sugar.
- Grinch Crepe – Looks like the Grinch isn’t stealing Christmas this time as he decided to partake in this special holiday treat. Made to resemble a Christmas tree, this crepe features a sweet cream blended with strawberries and dulce de leche. To finish off, a sprinkle of powdered sugar and some M&M’s are added to make the crepe a little more exciting.
More Sweet Crepes to Try

From The Club
I was surprised to see Taco Bell’s Snack Wraps as I remembered them to be the comeback food item from McDonald’s. They’ve truly entered the competition to see who’s got the best ones. Still, I’m looking forward to its nationwide release. I’m also excited for Jack in the Box’s Biscoff Donut Holes as someone who’s a Biscoff fan. As much as I try to stay away from sweets, it would be quite impossible this Christmas. 🤣
