IHOP is stacking its Holiday Hotcakes in such seasonal flavors as eggnog, spiced pumpkin and peppermint from now through Jan. 1.

Pricing for the limited-time offer pancakes starts at $4.99.

The Holiday Hotcakes are available à la carte or in combinations with two eggs, hash browns and a choice of bacon, pork sausage or ham.

Flavors include:

Eggnog: Pancakes with nutmeg, cinnamon, whipped topping, cinnamon sugar and a butter-rum sauce

White Chocolate Chip Mint: Buttermilk pancakes filled with white chocolate chips and dressed with crunchy peppermint flakes and whipped topping

Pumpkin Praline: Pancakes made with real pumpkin, dressed with praline-glazed pecans, caramel sauce and whipped topping

IHOP also is featuring a “Simple & Fit” pumpkin pancake combo containing fewer than 600 calories. It features two pumpkin pancakes, scrambled egg substitute and two strips of turkey bacon.

"Our chefs have creatively captured the delicious, iconic holiday flavors, marrying them with IHOP's signature pancakes for delightful combinations,” said Natalia Franco, IHOP senior vice president of marketing, in a statement.

The International House of Pancakes LLC, a division of Glendale, Calif.-based Dine Equity Inc., has more than 1,520 restaurants in the United States and Canada, Guatemala, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
