Candy Cane Bagels for the Holiday Season
Are you looking for something cute and unique to take to the office holiday party or your neighbor’s annual Christmas buffet? Check out these adorable candy cane bagels which are available for the holidays from Noah’s and Einstein Bagel Company. If your party is later in the day, check out the similarly-shaped iced sugar cookies. Both companies also offer bagels in holiday wreath themes as well; those items feature cranberry bits in either red, green, or traditional beige dough.
“We’re pleased to join our guests in spreading holiday cheer with these fresh, new and classic products,” says Jim Hood, Chief Marketing Officer for Einstein Noah Restaurant Group. “Our candy cane bagels add a festive touch to the season and I believe our guests will want to try these delicious additions to the menu.”
While the idea of a candy cane bagel sounds a bit jarring at first, the candy cane concept ends with the design as the bagels themselves are a traditional bagel flavor, although the chain does add a twist of cranberry flavored bagel in its Northeast markets. Both companies offer a seasonal coffee sprinkled with real peppermint candies for those who need a peppermint fix. According to Retail Wire, the candy cane bagel is Einstein Bros.’ best seller during the holiday season and is one the top selling seasonal items in that retail niche.
All of this is good news for Einstein which has gone public and now has to face the oppressive pressure of reporting its quarterly earnings. The company has posted their financial history here, and careful readers will note their passion is for growth and not for food which may or may not change their expectations for the tastiness of the candy cane bagel.
