IHOP Fully Loaded French Toast joins the menu ahead of the holiday season
While some people might be dreaming of holiday cookies and a glass of eggnog, IHOP Fully Loaded French Toast levels up the iconic breakfast food. With three flavors, these themed food items are the restaurant brand’s kick off to its Xbox partnership.
Brand partnerships are big deals for food companies. Whether it is the popular beverage that invites fans to an immersive experience or the cross over to product placement in a movie, people want a taste of pop culture moment on their table. These moments not only entice the food lover but also the fan of the popular brand.
IHOP is the latest restaurant brand to partner with a gaming company. As the official breakfast partner of Xbox, the legendary pancake house is flipping the script on another breakfast food. Hungry for the Fully Loaded French Toast?
The new take on a classic Stuffed French Toast is a fun idea for IHOP. While these particular flavors are inspired by the new Xbox offering, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the possibility of expanding the menu item into other collaboration seems likely. After all, French Toast is a great vehicle for a variety of flavors.
Speaking about the partnership and food items, Jay Johns, President, IHOP said, “Families across the globe connect and gather with their loved ones during the holiday season. As the brand that owns moments that matter, IHOP aims to elevate those connections over delicious food, like our new Fully Loaded French Toast. As the official breakfast partner of Xbox, we’re also giving our guests exclusive access to limited time Xbox merchandise and creating another connection point to serve more joy to fans everywhere.”
Whether it is a craving for the new menu items or the excitement to transform game night with a new experience, there are plenty of reasons for guests to head to their local IHOP. Even if one person will never vary from that short stack, there could be some order envy with the new Stuffed French Toast dishes.
What are the new IHOP Fully Loaded French Toast flavors?
According to IHOP, there are three Indiana Jones-inspired flavors. As the names suggest, the references are clear. They are The Great Circle of Cinnamon, Secret Cookie Butter, and Berry’d Treasure.
The most curious flavor is the Secret Cookie Butter. While cookie butter tends to be a little spicy, this meal seems to be sweeter. The use of vanilla sauce adds a sense of familiar. For people who want a creamy, sweet option, this menu item seems like a great choice.
The Great Circle of Cinnamon feels more like a cinnamon roll. The combination of the warm spice and sweet cream icing is a classic. With this food, every bite is like that gooey, warm coveted center piece of a cinnamon roll.
Lastly, the Berry’d Treasure is a juicy, tart flavor. Combining blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries, it is a celebration of fruit. While the cream cheese icing balances all the fruitiness, it is the dish for people who want to feel a little better about their fruit consumption for the day.
The IHOP Fully Loaded French Toast joins other new menu items including: Junior Adventurer’s Cookie Butter French Toast Sticks, Explorer’s Caramel Apple Butter Hot Chocolate, Long Lost Cookie Butter Milkshake, and Holiday French Toast Creations Family Feast. As the names suggest, the Xbox connection is clear.
These food items are available now. Check with local restaurants for availability and pricing.
