The holiday season at Cracker Barrel is a special time when familiar flavors and comforting dishes come together to create a warm, inviting experience. We all look forward to meals that bring a sense of home and tradition without the hassle of long hours in the kitchen.
We’ve gathered five Cracker Barrel holiday foods that truly capture that feeling of comfort and joy. These dishes help make the season easier and tastier for everyone, whether you’re dining in or bringing a meal home to share.
Butter Pecan French Toast
One of our favorite holiday treats at Cracker Barrel is the Butter Pecan French Toast. It features thick-cut country bread soaked in a rich vanilla custard with a creamy cheesecake filling inside.
Baked until golden, it’s topped with a praline pecan streusel that adds a satisfying crunch. We love how it’s served with butter pecan syrup and our choice of breakfast meat, making it a delicious and comforting start to the day during the holidays.
Cinnamon Roll Pie
We look forward to Cracker Barrel’s Cinnamon Roll Pie every holiday season. It’s not just a dessert; it’s a warm, shareable treat that combines the soft, gooey goodness of cinnamon rolls baked together in a flaky pie crust.
The sweet cream cheese icing drizzled on top adds the perfect touch. Each bite feels nostalgic and comforting, making it a holiday favorite for our group. If you haven’t tried it yet, this is the year to do so.
Holiday Hot Cocoa Collection
We love starting the holiday season with Cracker Barrel’s Holiday Hot Cocoa Collection. It’s a cozy treat that feels like a warm hug in a cup.
The collection is easy to prepare and tastes great on its own or topped with whipped cream.
It’s perfect for sharing with family or gifting to friends. This cocoa adds a little extra cheer to our chilly nights.
Broccoli Cheese Casserole
We all know Cracker Barrel’s Broccoli Cheese Casserole as a classic comfort food that brings warmth to the table. It combines tender broccoli and fluffy rice in a creamy cheese sauce, topped with buttery cracker crumbs for a satisfying crunch.
This dish always feels like a special treat, especially during the holidays when it makes a comeback. It’s rich, cheesy, and perfectly balanced, making it one of our favorite sides to share with family and friends.
Spiral-Sliced Sugar-Cured Ham
We love starting our holiday meal with Cracker Barrel’s spiral-sliced sugar-cured ham. It’s already pre-sliced, making it super easy to serve and perfect for sharing with family and friends.
The ham has a sweet, smoky flavor that fits right in with our cozy holiday traditions. We usually bake it covered at 325°F, adding a bit of water to keep it juicy.
This ham is a great centerpiece because it’s both convenient and delicious. It pairs well with classic sides like cornbread dressing and macaroni and cheese to complete our comfort-filled meal.
