COLUMBUS, Ohio — White Castle is kicking off the 2025 holiday season with a lineup designed to “come in clutch” for shoppers, party hosts and late-night Cravers alike. From festive meal bundles and new merchandise to bonus gift card deals and holiday-themed drinks, the fast-food chain is offering multiple ways to bring convenience — and flavor — to the busy season.
Crave Clutch Returns With Festive Makeover and Free “Hot Clutch”
The popular 20-Slider Crave Clutch is getting a holiday redesign complete with cutout ornaments and a QR code linking to exclusive Slider-based recipes. Beginning Nov. 17, customers who order a Crave Clutch through the White Castle app will receive a free Hot Clutch — an insulated bag that keeps the Sliders hot and ready to serve. The offer is available while supplies last.
Designed to feed families, fuel Friendsgiving gatherings, and satisfy late-night cravings, the Crave Clutch continues to be one of the chain’s most in-demand holiday items.
