Review: TGI Fridays' 2025 Holiday Menu Feels Like The First Gift Of The Season - Tasting Table
"TGI Fridays kicked off the holiday season by adorning its menu with a variety of festive new items. Each selection promises to bring seasonal cheer to people of all ages, and there are many culinary gifts to explore. Seasonal beverages range from sparkly, adults-only cocktails to cozy drinks for the little ones. Three new items feature Santa, his elves, and a puffy snowman, and new Holiday Towers showcase menu items in a stack (tiered fare that makes sharing infinitely more fun)."
"When I learned of the merry menu, I grabbed my sleigh and glided over to Fridays so I could review the offerings. Since the Holiday Towers feature signature Fridays' dishes in a shareable arrangement, I narrowed my assessment to the limited-edition drinks and desserts. I sat in a bedecked corner of the restaurant, sampled each item, and reviewed them based on taste, texture, relevance to the holiday theme, and value for the price."
"I'm a self-professed margarita aficionado, so I was quite excited to try the Jolly Pom-A-Rita. I can assure you, the anticipation was worth it; the cocktail did not disappoint. The colorful margarita featured the high-quality tequila Don Julio, fresh pomegranate juice, and a splash of orange-scented Cointreau. Shaken before it was poured over ice, the zesty drink was served with a wedge of lime and a partially salted rim. I was completely smitten with the complexity of flavors in this cocktail."
TGI Fridays added a variety of limited-time holiday menu items, including seasonal beverages and desserts. Seasonal beverages include sparkly adults-only cocktails and cozy nonalcoholic options for children. Three new desserts feature Santa, his elves, and a puffy snowman, while new Holiday Towers present signature dishes in tiered, shareable stacks. A reviewer sampled eight innovative drinks and the desserts, rating them on taste, texture, alignment with the holiday theme, and value. The Jolly Pom-A-Rita combines Don Julio tequila, fresh pomegranate juice, and orange-scented Cointreau with a partially salted rim. The holiday menu is available through January 5, 2026. Some recommendations derive from promotional materials and manufacturer-provided products.
