This fall, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is giving customers a new way to enjoy its signature Honey Butter Croissants.

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen has begun welcoming its guests with a free order of Honey Butter Croissants. To show its love for the flaky pastries, the chain is also offering a free croissant-themed gift bundle with the purchase of each $30 gift card. The bundle is specifically designed for expecting parents or those with brand new babies. The bundle includes items for both baby and mama alike, including a croissant-shaped body pillow, a onesie that reads "Sweet as honey butter croissants,' and a blanket decorated with cartoon croissants.

To make the promotion extra sweet, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen will be dropping off [free meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cracker-barrel-old-country-store) and its croissant-themed gift bundles to new families at hospitals and birthing centers during the week of November 18.
