During the holidays, there’s no shortage of sweet treats to stuff stockings with. Costco’s hot cocoa bombs make for the perfect wintry sipper to enjoy while you watch Hallmark flicks, and peppermint lovers are more than satisfied with the best seasonal snacks already in stores (not to mention the return of Starbucks’ popular Peppermint Mocha). But when it comes to the holidays, there’s not much for those who prefer savory treats…
…until now! This year, you can get that special someone in your life a gift box loaded with Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Move over, hot cocoa, this holiday season belongs to all things buttery, flaky and cheesy.
How to Get a Cheddar Bay Biscuits Gift Box
Believe it or not, the best seasonal gift comes from Red Lobster. This Christmas, you can get a limited edition gift box filled with Cheddar Bay Biscuits, and you can customize yours (at least, the outside) for only $1 more. If you’re not too keen on heading in-store to pick up your Red Lobster order, don’t sweat it—you can always have the biscuits delivered to your door.

Cheddar, butter, and herbs in a warm fresh biscuit. You know you want them!
If you’re already putting your order in, you may want to hold your proverbial horses. These gift boxes don’t technically go on sale until November 16, which gives you the time to really put some TLC into your box. Keep in mind, though, that every Cheddar Bay Biscuits gift box only holds about half a dozen biscuits. So you may want to get your lucky recipient alone for this gift—that way they won’t have to share!
We sampled the gluten-free Cheddar Bay Biscuits—here’s what we thought.
But That’s Not All…
Biscuits aren’t the only thing Red Lobster has up their sleeve this year. Everyone’s favorite seafood giant is also rolling out two new holiday platters, which makes will make small holiday gatherings a breeze.
Start the party off with a Chilled Holiday Seafood Platter with Jumbo Cocktail Shrimp, Chilled Split Maine Lobster Tails and Jumbo Lump Crab Meat tossed in lemon vinaigrette, and of course, cocktail sauce and lemon wedges. You can also get the Shrimp Lover’s Holiday Platter, loaded with Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp, Walt’s Favorite Shrimp and Crispy Shrimp served with pina colada sauce, cocktail sauce and spicy Dragon sauce. Red Lobster still has the family meal deals, too!
We don’t know about you, but we’re celebrating the holiday season the Red Lobster way.

Gumbo is one dish that makes Louisiana cuisine so famous.
