In what has become a time honored holiday tradition, The Cheesecake Factory announces the return of its seasonal Peppermint Bark Cheesecake, available now in restaurant locations nationwide, alongside its exclusive “Slice of Joy” gift card offer, providing a delicious incentive to gift card purchasers this holiday season. For every $25 in gift cards purchased through the end of the year, guests will be rewarded with a “Slice of Joy” card redeemable for a complimentary slice of cheesecake January 1 through March 31, 2016.

“The holiday season is a perfect time to extend sincere gratitude to our guests,” said David Overton, Founder and CEO of The Cheesecake Factory. “To celebrate those who choose to give The Cheesecake Factory gift cards to family and friends, our annual ‘Slice of Joy’ card is a way for us to share holiday cheer.”

The Cheesecake Factory’s Peppermint Bark Cheesecake is a sweet holiday tradition that only comes around once a year. A white chocolate cheesecake swirled with chunks of chocolate peppermint bark, topped with white chocolate mousse and sprinkled with chopped peppermint, this festive dessert is an ideal complement to any holiday gathering. Individual slices and whole cheesecakes are available at all Cheesecake Factory restaurant locations nationwide.
