[IHOP](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ihop-holiday-menu) is kicking off the 2022 holiday season with a slew of festive items, including the new Gingersnap Apple French Toast.

Bursting with holiday flavors, IHOP's 2022 holiday menu features both dishes and drinks that will make you feel merry. First up is the new Gingersnap Apple French Toast dish, which features two slices of "thick and fluffy" artisan bread that have been dipped in an eggy, vanilla-infused cinnamon French toast batter and then griddled until golden brown. The French toast is also topped with spiced cinnamon apples, crunchy gingersnap cookie crumbles, red currants, and powdered sugar for an extra touch of festive flare.

Other new items on IHOP's holiday menu include the new Gingersnap Milkshake, which is made with real gingersnap cookie pieces, the new Gingersnap Hot Chocolate, and the new Red Passion Fruit Splasher drink.
