To celebrate the holiday season, The Cheesecake Factory is bringing back its popular Slice of Joy gift card offer, providing something sweet to gift card purchasers. For every $25 in gift cards purchased, guests will be rewarded with a complimentary slice of cheesecake on a future visit. The Cheesecake Factory also announces the return of its seasonal Peppermint Bark Cheesecake, a holiday favorite available now in restaurant locations nationwide.

With more than 250 menu selections – all handmade in house with fresh ingredients – and more than 50 legendary cheesecakes and specialty desserts, a gift card from The Cheesecake Factory is the perfect gift for anyone on your holiday gift list. The Cheesecake Factory also wants to reward those who give by offering them the chance to receive. For every $25 gift card purchased through the end of the year, gift-givers will receive a Slice of Joy card redeemable for a complimentary slice of cheesecake January 1 through March 29, 2015. The Slice of Joy gift card offer is available exclusively at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants and online at www.TheCheesecakeFactory.com.

“There is no better time to thank our guests than during the holiday season,” said David Overton, Founder and CEO of The Cheesecake Factory. “Our annual ‘Slice of Joy’ gift card offer allows us to share a festive gift with guests who give The Cheesecake Factory gift cards to family and friends.”

The Cheesecake Factory’s Peppermint Bark Cheesecake is another festive favorite. A white chocolate cheesecake swirled with chunks of chocolate peppermint bark, topped with white chocolate mousse and sprinkled with chopped peppermint, this delicious dessert is a wonderful addition to any holiday gathering. Individual slices and whole cheesecakes are available at all Cheesecake Factory restaurant locations nationwide.
