Santa Pants Are Coming to TGI Fridays™!

TGI Fridays launches the Santa Pants Cocktail and Santa Pants Pasta served in restaurants from 9 November – 3 January 2027

Christmas is getting a little more spirited at TGI Fridays™ as the iconic American restaurant brand teams up with Matthew and Camila McConaughey’s award-winning Pantalones® Organic Tequila to bring a playful twist to the festive season with two exclusive creations.

Festive Flavour is taking over TGI Fridays™ restaurants across the UK this week, bringing plenty of Christmas cheer, delicious seasonal dishes and cocktails worth celebrating! Guests can enjoy 2-for-1 Festive cocktails in England or £6 cocktails Monday to Thursday in Scotland, alongside the Christmas menu offering 2 courses for £24.95, or make it a 3 course celebration for £30.95 by adding a dessert or cocktail.

Meet Santa Pants: a cocktail and a pasta with a tequila twist!

The Santa Pants Cocktail shakes up the festive spirit with a refreshing blend of Pantalones® Organic Tequila Blanco, cranberry juice, lime and Schweppes ginger beer, delivering a deliciously festive twist on a tequila cocktail.

And the tequila-inspired fun doesn't stop at the bar! The Santa Pants Pasta brings a bold twist to the dinner table, combining king prawns and penne pasta in a rich, creamy sauce with garlic, red onions, tomatoes, chilli flakes, Italian-style hard cheese and fresh basil, finished with a splash of Pantalones® Organic Tequila Blanco for an unexpected festive flourish.

The festive menu is available at all TGI Friday’s restaurants nationwide between 9th November 2026 and 3rd January 2027, where guests can book a table just for cocktails or for drinks and a meal.

Phil Broad, Global President and Managing Director at TGI Fridays™ UK, said:

“At Fridays, we've always believed that great food, great drinks and great company are the perfect ingredients for a celebration. Partnering with Matthew and Camila McConaughey's Pantalones® Tequila brings together two brands that share a love for fun, flavour and doing things a little differently.

“From shaking up festive cocktails to adding an unexpected tequila twist to our pasta, we're bringing something playful and exciting to the Christmas table. After all, if there's one thing we know how to do at Fridays, it's celebrate!”
