DALLAS, Nov. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is quickly approaching and Chili's® Grill & Bar wants to make this time as 'merry and bright' as possible through their HoliDaily promotion. Beginning Black Friday (Nov. 25) through Christmas Eve (Dec. 24), Chili's will offer daily specials - ranging from free appetizers and desserts, to free kids' meals - designed to ease the strain on guests' wallets during the holidays.

The coupon-based HoliDaily specials will be promoted through various channels, including a designated section on Chili's website and to followers on the brand's Facebook and Twitter pages. Chili's Email Club members will receive a message alerting them of each week's offers. Guests have the option to either print off the daily coupons or display them to their server on a smartphone.

In addition to the HoliDaily specials, Chili's also offers savings on gift card purchases. Now through Wednesday, Dec. 28, guests who purchase $100 or more in gift cards will receive 10 percent off their entire gift card purchase. Chili's gift cards can be purchased at participating restaurants nationwide as well as online. Choose from four specially designed holiday cards, including a gingerbread-scented card, or guests may customize their own online with an uploaded image and personalized greeting. Guests who order gift card values of $50 or more online will automatically qualify for free shipping. To order a gift card online, log onto Chili's website and click on "Gift Cards."
