TGI Fridays® Brings Holiday Cheer with TGI Elf Days
As the holiday season approaches, TGI Fridays® is setting the stage for festive celebrations with a unique promotion known as TGI Elf Days. This immersive initiative transforms select locations into enchanting holiday environments, featuring playful elves and a range of holiday-themed experiences that promise to capture the spirit of the season.
An Enchanting Transformation
From now until January 5, 2026, certain TGI Fridays® locations across the nation are diving deep into the holiday ambiance. Guests will be welcomed into a whimsical world filled with dazzling decorations, interactive experiences, and new seasonal menu items that cater to the festive spirit. The holiday atmosphere boasts themed zones such as Candy Cane Corner and Santa's Workshop, where the magic of the season comes alive through immersive storytelling and delightful cuisine.
Festive Fridays and Special Events
In partnership with TBS, TGI Fridays® has introduced “Festive Fridays” — a series of specially themed events taking place every Friday in November and December. These evenings will feature exclusive holiday movie nights, movie-themed trivia contests, and exciting giveaways to enhance the celebratory environment. Patrons who are members of Fridays Rewards® will also enjoy double points on their purchases during this festive period, making each visit even more rewarding.
Limited Edition Holiday Menu
Adding to the festive cheer, TGI Elf Days includes a limited edition holiday menu packed with bold and imaginative dishes. Standouts include the TBS Christmas Tree-O, which comprises Loaded Tots, Boneless Wings, and Sliders, and the playful Melting Snowman Sundae for dessert. Drink offerings have also been revamped, with festive cocktails like the Jolly Pom-a-Rita and Snowball Choco-tini stealing the spotlight, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy this season.
Elf Bucks Rewards Promotion
In keeping with the holiday spirit, diners can take advantage of the Elf Bucks Rewards promotion. For every $25 spent at participating locations, guests will receive $5 in Elf Bucks, and for purchases over $50, they’ll earn $10 in Elf Bucks. This limited-time offer allows for up to two redemptions per table, providing a fantastic incentive for dining out this season.
Giving Back Through the Holiday Toy Drive
In addition to the festive fun, TGI Fridays® is committed to giving back to the community through its holiday toy drive in partnership with Toys for Tots. Selected locations invite guests to donate new, unwrapped toys, helping local children and families in need experience the joy of the holidays.
The Spirit of Celebration
Ray Blanchette, TGI Fridays® CEO, emphasizes the restaurant’s historic focus on celebration during the holidays. He expresses, "TGI Fridays® is synonymous with celebration, and the holidays are the ultimate time to lean into that. TGI Elf Days is our invitation to step into something completely different this season — a place where every corner surprises you, every visit feels like a celebration."
