Fun fact: I’ve tried all 34 cheesecake varieties from The Cheesecake Factory. Furthermore, I’ve tasted a few of their limited-time seasonal gems. My favorite of all time is the pumpkin pecan, but last year, I had the immense pleasure of tasting the peppermint stick chocolate swirl variety. If you missed your chance, you’re in luck: It’s made a limited return to restaurants nationwide, just in time for the holidays.

The base is a white and dark chocolate cheesecake, swirled with refreshing pink peppermint. Best of all, the confection sits atop a mint chocolate brownie bottom instead of the expected graham cracker crust.
From what I remember, the cheesecake is impeccably tangy, rich and creamy, just like the chain’s O.G. flavor. The peppermint is unmistakable but not overwhelming. Personally, the brownie base is my favorite part. It’s super decadent, and the chewy, fudgy texture is plain heavenly.
If you’re not convinced already, The Cheesecake Factory is also offering a festive promotion all giving season long (through the end of 2024, to be exact). If you buy $50 worth of gift cards, you’ll score a bonus $15 gift card that you can redeem between January 1 and February 28, 2025. That means you can surprise a loved one on your list *and* kick off the new year with a killer meal. Any questions?
