What do you think, is the Elf on the Shelf a fun toy that adds extra fun to this already magical season, or an obnoxious little narc that burdens parents with an extra daily chore during this especially busy time of year?

Either way, Great American Cookies is putting them on a cake, giving customers an adorable new treat and the option to cut the little jerks.

New sweet treats are also to be had at Acapulco Restaurant y Cantina, Chuck E. Cheese, Culver’s, a KFC franchisee, Krispy Kreme, Snooze, and some lucky locations of Taziki’s Mediterranean Café.

There are lots of celebratory drinks streaming onto menus at chains including Eureka!, Old Chicago, Razzoo’s Cajun Cafe, Red Lobster, Smokey Bones, Studio Movie Grill, The Toasted Yolk Café, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and White Castle.

Nomoo and Native Foods has new vegan items, but they have to because they’re vegan chains. Sweetgreen doesn’t, but it’s testing a new mushroom protein in Culver City, Calif.

El Torito has added Mexican pizza to its happy hour menu, Velvet Taco’s Weekly Taco Feature is also inspired by pizza, and Lenny’s Grill & Subs has new chicken items.
