Subway Canada has just given its menu a holiday-themed upgrade, which includes the launch of its new Footlong Gingerbread Cookie.
Following the successful release of the brand's Footlong Chocolate Chip Cookie earlier this year, the new Footlong Gingerbread Cookie puts a seasonal twist on the supersized dessert option. Each Footlong Gingerbread Cookie is in fact a foot in length and features a flavorful blend of ginger spice and molasses, all topped with crunchy sugar pieces.
If you're looking for a smaller cookie option that's equally as festive, Subway is also bringing back its popular Red Velvet Cookie, which is a chewy chocolate cookie studded with cream cheese-flavored chips.
Both holiday cookies are available now for a limited time.
