Thanksgiving season is all about warmth, comfort, togetherness, and—of course—great food. While everyone is thinking turkey, stuffing, and pies, at Fast Bagel, we’re thinking about how those same cozy flavors come alive in the form of the perfect holiday bagel. Whether you’re hosting a family brunch, grabbing breakfast before a big cooking day, or simply craving something festive, Thanksgiving introduces some timeless flavor combinations that pair beautifully with the humble (but mighty!) bagel.
This year, we’ve taken classic Thanksgiving favorites and blended them with our own bakery staples to create a lineup that feels nostalgic, seasonal, and very Fast Bagel.
🥯🍁 The Classic Everything Bagel With Pumpkin Cream Cheese
The Everything Bagel is a year-round bestseller, but something magical happens when fall arrives. That toasted mix of sesame, poppy, garlic, and onion becomes the perfect base for our silky Pumpkin Cream Cheese—a seasonal favorite that tastes like fall in every bite.
Think of it as the bagel version of your favorite pumpkin pie, but less sweet, more comforting, and perfectly balanced for breakfast. It’s warm, cozy, and Thanksgiving-approved.
🍂🥯 Plain Bagel + Honey Walnut Spread (A Thanksgiving Morning Must)
When the house is buzzing with cooking, family chatter, and early-morning energy, nothing beats the simplicity of a Fresh Plain Bagel with Honey Walnut Cream Cheese. It’s subtly sweet, lightly nutty, and feels like the “calm before the storm” on Thanksgiving Day.
It’s the perfect grab-and-go option for the host who’s basting turkey at 6 AM.
🥯🦃 Egg Everything Bagel + Savory Cream Cheese (Great With Leftovers!)
One of our Thanksgiving secrets? This combo tastes even better the next day.
Pair our soft, golden Egg Everything Bagel with:
- Scallion Cream Cheese
- Veggie Cream Cheese
- Or any leftover turkey + cranberry
The slightly richer dough of the Egg Everything bagel makes it ideal for building those famous “day-after” sandwiches.
🍎🍁 Cinnamon Raisin Bagel + Apple Cinnamon Spread (Fall Favorite!)
Cinnamon Raisin has always been the unofficial mascot of fall. Pair it with our Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese, and you’ve got a flavor that tastes like warm pie filling, a cozy blanket, and a family movie night—all in one bite.

🥯🧡 Whole Wheat Bagel + Veggie Cream Cheese (The Light, Pre-Feast Combo)
For those who love Thanksgiving but prefer a lighter start, the Whole Wheat Bagel offers hearty comfort without heaviness. Pairing it with Veggie Cream Cheese gives you a refreshing crunch before the big feast. It’s nutritious, flavor-packed, and perfect for guests who want something wholesome.
🍽️✨ The “Thanksgiving Special” Sandwich Inspiration
Not officially on the menu—but a fan-favorite hack!
Try this combo on your preferred bagel:
- Turkey slices
- Cranberry sauce
- A touch of cream cheese
- Arugula or lettuce
- A drizzle of honey
It’s sweet, savory, tangy, and festive. Build it on an Everything, Sesame, or Egg bagel for the ultimate Thanksgiving treat.
