Shoney’s us saying thank you and happy holidays again this year with its annual National free Hot Fudge Cake Day on December 5.  

America’s Dinner Table for more than 71 years, Shoney’s will offer its popular dessert at no cost and with no purchase required to its loyal fans and new guests. Shoney’s famous Hot Fudge Cake has been a brand staple since 1947 and has played a key role in the brand’s recent resurgence. Shoney’s serves over 2 million Hot Fudge Cakes each year, and for one day a year, guests get one for free.

“I made a commitment to return one of the most iconic American brands to its glory days and as part of that pledge, I vowed that Shoney’s would create its own holiday, an annual event to show our appreciation for our valued guests,” says Shoney’s chairman and CEO David Davoudpour. “I invite you to join us as Shoney’s honors our past and celebrates our commitment to treating future generations with America’s favorite dessert and on this day, it’s on me.”
