Tim Hortons launches Elf-themed holiday menu with maple bacon, spaghetti doughnuts

Tim Hortons has launched a limited-time holiday menu inspired by the Christmas movie Elf. The offerings include maple bacon, spaghetti-themed doughnuts and lattes, and a candy cane hot chocolate. The menu is a partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and was announced on Nov. 12. It is available now at participating restaurants across Canada.

The new savoury item is maple bacon, which customers can add to their breakfast sandwich, morning wrap or grilled cheese melt. Tim Hortons says the bacon is prepared with 100 percent Canadian maple syrup. It features in the Elf Combo, which includes a grilled cheese with maple bacon, a cola doughnut and a medium fountain Coca-Cola. On the sweet side, Tim Hortons has introduced spaghetti doughnuts and Timbits. These are inspired by the scene where Buddy the elf covers his spaghetti in maple syrup and candy. The chain is also offering a chaotic latte and iced cappuccino topped with maple hazelnut butter, mini marshmallows, candy pieces and a whipped topping that recalls the famous spaghetti plate.

For the more adventurous, there is a Maple Tourbitim soda that combines Coca-Cola, a maple hazelnut butter syrup, cream and cold maple froth. The candy cane hot chocolate is also returning in classic or white chocolate versions. Hope Bagozzi, chief marketing officer at Tim Hortons, said in the statement that for many people, the movie Elf is a holiday staple. She said the menu was created from the film's most memorable scenes and flavours.

Cups, doughnut boxes and other packaging feature the colours of the film for the occasion. A Tim Hortons x Elf pearlescent gift card is also offered until supplies run out. The chain is planning a Holiday Fest Day on Saturday, Dec. 12, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at participating restaurants. Customers will be able to decorate a doughnut for free and personalize a tree ornament. Tim Hortons says it will reveal the list of participating restaurants in the coming weeks.
