Chicken Salad Chick Brings Back Festive Favorite “Deck the Holly” for the Holiday Season
Chicken Salad Chick is spreading holiday cheer with the return of its beloved seasonal flavor, Deck the Holly. Available through the end of the year, this festive dish captures the excitement of the holidays with its perfect balance of sweet and spicy. A joyful twist on the brand’s signature Jalapeño Holly flavor, Deck the Holly blends tender chicken, bold jalapeños, and tart cranberries for a taste that’s both comforting and vibrant. Guests can enjoy this limited-time flavor as a scoop, sandwich, or Quick Chick to-go.
Chicken Salad Chick Chief Marketing Officer Tom Carr said, “Deck the Holly is a flavor that embodies the warmth and joy of the season with its mix of cranberry sweet and jalapeño heat. It’s the ideal choice for holiday gatherings, office parties, or simply adding a little festive cheer to your lunch routine.”
Beyond the menu, Chicken Salad Chick is also giving back through its annual Giving Card promotion. For a $5 donation, guests receive up to $75 in Chick rewards while supporting local food banks and CURE Childhood Cancer, which funds pediatric cancer research and family support programs. Additionally, guests can earn double rewards points on November 20 and December 10 by using the Chicken Salad Chick app.

Rocket Travel by Agoda and Skift Redefine Customer Loyalty for the Modern Traveler
A new report by Rocket Travel by Agoda and Skift, titled “The Loyalty Value Playbook: Redemption Experience and Cash Spend as the New Benchmarks for Customer Growth,” explores how brands can close the growing loyalty “value gap” as customer expectations evolve. With 77% of consumers more likely to abandon loyalty programs than they were three years ago, the research highlights the need for brands to deliver loyalty experiences that are flexible, transparent, and relevant. Traditional models are struggling to keep pace with customer demand for programs that offer real, everyday value alongside travel-related perks.
Rocket Travel at Agoda Chief Commercial Officer Damien Pfirsch said, “The challenge and opportunity for loyalty programs is that expectations haven’t shifted from one set of benefits to another, they have expanded. Travelers still want the traditional perks, but they also expect more, making loyalty harder to manage. This report equips travel brands with a playbook to rebuild guest trust through clear, flexible, and relevant loyalty experiences, boosting both point redemptions and cash bookings.”
The playbook introduces six strategic capabilities designed to help companies rebuild customer trust and boost engagement. These include building flexible commerce infrastructures that combine points and cash, leveraging data and AI for personalized experiences, expanding partner networks and exclusive perks, improving lifecycle marketing for repeat bookings, enforcing transparent governance, and fostering collaboration across teams. Together, these strategies help brands strengthen loyalty through seamless redemptions, improved usability, and measurable results such as higher repeat cash bookings, and optimize guest lifetime value. Drawing insights from leading organizations like Flying Blue, Citigroup, and Southwest Airlines, the report highlights that loyalty is no longer just about rewards. It’s about relevance and accessibility. Industry leaders stress that customers want the freedom to redeem rewards for travel, experiences, and daily essentials, reflecting their broader lifestyles.
