RACKS and Tenya Philippines are introducing Christmas menus on November 11, 2026, giving families and friends additional choices for year-end meals.

Both brands operate under Cavallino Inc., with each taking a different approach to the season: American comfort food at RACKS and Japanese dishes at Tenya.

RACKS’ “A RACKS of Holiday Cheer” lineup includes the Racks Holiday Feast, Holiday Rib Plate and Holiday Ribeye Steak Plate. Garlic Parmesan Fries, Caramel Walnut Pudding and a family-sized Cobb Salad are also part of the announced selection.

The range brings together main dishes, sides and dessert for diners planning a gathering or a smaller holiday meal.

Tenya’s seasonal offerings include the Fuyu no Takara Bowl and Set, Mentaiko Udon, Gunkan Kani and Ningyoyaki Strawberry Cheesecake. Fuyu no Takara translates to “Winter Treasure.”

Cavallino operations director Adele Susana “Denise” Ramos said Tenya’s dishes aim to offer something seasonal while retaining the brand’s focus on Japanese cooking.

The announcement did not include menu prices, serving sizes or a complete list of participating branches. Diners should confirm those details with their preferred restaurant, particularly when planning a group booking.

Cavallino also said it is exploring a collaboration with Tuloy Foundation. The proposed work would support Christmas activities for young people and potential culinary and hospitality opportunities; it was not announced as a completed partnership.

For diners, the immediate story is the menu launch: two distinct sets of seasonal dishes, with branch updates and promotional details available through the restaurants’ official social media channels.
