A Gift for the Little Ones: Free Toys!
Need to keep the kids entertained during those long holiday road trips or while you’re waiting on your biscuits? Now through December 24th, every delicious, homestyle dine-in Kid’s Meal comes with a free toy (valued up to $5) from the iconic Old Country Store!
As Moore put it, “Santa has his sleigh, and Cracker Barrel has the Old Country Store. With so much on families’ plates at this time of year, we wanted to offer a small moment of joy that makes the season feel easier and full of cheer.” Even better, if your little one spots something that costs more than $5, you still get a $5 discount applied!

Simple to Prepare: Holiday Heat & Serve Feasts
The biggest stress-buster this season comes in a simple package: Cracker Barrel’s fully prepared Holiday Heat & Serve meals. Ready in three hours or less, these solutions allow you to skip the heavy prep and focus on time with family.

For a premium option, the Prime Rib Heat & Serve Family Dinner also serves 4–6 and includes a slow-roasted prime rib with au jus, creamy horseradish sauce, and classic sides. Finally, don’t forget the seasonal Holiday Pies, available in delicious flavors like Apple Streusel, Pecan, and Cinnamon Roll.
Holiday Heat & Serve pre-orders are available now, with pickup dates between December 21st and 28th. It’s never been easier to serve a traditional holiday table!
“We know the season is joyful yet hectic so we’re making it easier than ever to gather with those who matter most,” Moore concluded. “Because when people share food, they share something bigger: time together.”
