Subway is officially kicking off the holiday season with an anticipated follow-up to its beloved Footlong Chocolate Chip Cookie: the Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie.

The rich, chocolatey recipe starts with Subway's Double Chocolate Cookie dough, loaded with chocolate and white chips, then swirled with peppermint extract and topped with red and white candy cane pieces. Like the original footlong cookie, the new festive flavor is served warm.

"Since their debut earlier this year, millions of Footlong Cookies have delighted our fans—now we can't wait for them to experience how we've reimagined another classic cookie flavor into even more footlong indulgence," says Paul Fabre, senior vice president, culinary and innovation at Subway. "The holiday season is synonymous with cookies, making it the perfect time to introduce this new warm, flavor-packed footlong cookie to our snack menu."

The Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie is Subway's latest footlong innovation and the second footlong cookie on its menu of snacks priced at $5 and under. It comes in footlong-sized holiday packaging and is available nationwide from November 1 through December 31, while supplies last.
