As fall gives way to the festive holiday season, First Watch, the leading Daytime Dining concept with more than 445 restaurants nationwide, is inviting guests to enjoy the splendor and flavor of “the most wonderful time of the year” with a new seasonally inspired menu. From a loaded and smothered Barbacoa Breakfast Burrito to the return of the fan-favorite Cinnamon Chip Pancake Breakfast, First Watch’s latest seasonal selections are here to help make even the chilliest of days merry, bright and full of flavor.

“The holiday season is known for spending quality time with family and friends while treating others – and ourselves – to hearty, flavorful meals, and that’s what we’re going for with our newest menu here at First Watch,” says Shane Schaibly, Senior Vice President of Culinary Strategy for First Watch. “Sugar and spice prove to be a combination our customers just cannot live without during this time of year, so we’ve brought the charred delight of fire-roasted chiles alongside sweet confections like gingerbread, allspice and cinnamon. From a taste of the Southwest to a sip of tart cranberries and sweet Fuji apples in our new Cranberry Crush fresh juice, there’s truly no shortage of reasons to come together and unwrap the flavorful gifts of the season at your neighborhood First Watch.”

First Watch’s holiday menu selections are available nationwide through January 1, 2023, and include:

• Gingerbread Spice Donuts – Warm cake donut holes tossed with gingerbread spice and lightly dusted with powdered cinnamon sugar. Served with salted caramel toffee sauce and crème anglaise.
