Subway has introduced a festive addition to its dessert menu with the Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie, available for a limited period.

The seasonal offering follows the success of the brand's original Footlong Chocolate Chip Cookie, providing a new twist for cookie enthusiasts during the holiday season.

From 1 November to 31 December 2024, customers across the nation can purchase the holiday treat while supplies last.

Made from Subway's signature Double Chocolate Cookie dough, the new item is loaded with both chocolate and white chips, infused with peppermint extract and decorated with red and white candy cane pieces.

Served warm, the cookie offers rich chocolate and mint.

In May 2024, Subway relaunched its Footlong Cookie across all its restaurants in the US.

Subway culinary and innovation senior vice-president Paul Fabre said: "Since their debut earlier this year, millions of Footlong Cookies have delighted our fans — now we can't wait for them to experience how we've reimagined another classic cookie flavour into even more footlong indulgence.

"The holiday season is synonymous with cookies, making it the perfect time to introduce this new warm, flavour-packed footlong cookie to our snack menu."

As part of Subway's commitment to innovation in its snack offerings, the Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie joins the menu as the second footlong cookie option priced at $5 or under.

The treat also features festive footlong-sized packaging, making it an ideal gift for friends and family during the holiday season.

Subway has entered master franchise agreements to broaden its global reach, committing to the establishment of 10,000 future restaurants.

This growth is propelled by more than 20 master franchise agreements signed since 2021.
