In addition to a selection of seasonal soups, the chain will offer the Turkey Berry Brie Sandwich and Cranberry Goat Cheese Salad from now through December 31st. The star of the Zoup! festive offerings is cranberry, which is a classic holiday flavor. The Turkey Berry Brie Sandwich consists of toasted bread topped with turkey, Brie cheese, sliced apple, and a tasty [cranberry chutney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cranberry-ginger-chutney). Similarly, the Cranberry Goat Cheese Salad combines dried cranberries with spring mix, romaine lettuce, goat cheese, toasted walnuts, apple slices, and a sweet cranberry vinaigrette. As Zoup! founder and CEO Eric Ersher explains, "With classic holiday flavors of turkey, cranberry and apple, these new menu items are just right for this time of year." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Seasonal Menu Offerings:** Expanding menu options with festive and limited-time items can create excitement and attract customers during holiday seasons. - **Cranberry-infused Dishes:** Incorporating cranberry into various menu items provides a unique and festive flavor profile that can appeal to holiday-themed cravings. - **Holiday Flavor Combinations:** Exploring creative combinations of holiday flavors, such as turkey, cranberry, and apple, can offer customers a delightful and nostalgic dining experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Quick Service Restaurants:** QSR chains can capitalize on holiday seasons by introducing limited-time festive menu items to engage customers and drive sales. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can create innovative cranberry-infused dishes to cater to consumers seeking unique and seasonal flavor experiences. - **Casual Dining:** Casual dining establishments can incorporate holiday flavor combinations to create special seasonal menus that attract customers looking for festive dining options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spicy Chicken Soups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-buffalo-chicken-soup.md) - [Festive Cranberry Pomegranate Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cranberry-pomegranate-smoothies.md) - [Holiday Meal-Inspired Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turkey-feast-sandwich.md) - [Crisp-Textured Deli Menu Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-harvest-lineup.md) - [Cranberry-Topped Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Tart-Sweet Festive Butters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocean-spray-x-popup-bagels.md) - [Tart Chicken Salad Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cranberry-almond-chicken-salad-sandwich.md) - [Healthy Autumn-Inspired Menu Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-limitedtime-fall-offerings.md) - [Healthy Summer Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-summer-offerings.md)
