After trimming a few items from its menu, Taco Bell is bringing back a fan favorite, announcing the return of Nacho Fries on Dec. 24.

Some people were less concerned with Nacho Fries and more focused on other menu items Taco Bell had previously removed.

The fast-food chain trimmed its menu multiple times this year, forcing fans to say goodbye to several items including its Mexican Pizza, 7-Layer Burrito, Shredded Chicken Quesadilla Melt, Spicy Potato Soft Taco and more. At the time, the decision was explained as a way to “create a more efficient Taco Bell experience” amid the pandemic, and several other fast-food restaurants did the same with their own menus.

“In a year as difficult and uncertain as this one was, we know that consumers crave the comforts they love most. That’s why we’re excited to bring back Nacho Fries for our passionate fans to close out this year and kick off 2021 positively and deliciously,” Nikki Lawson, Taco Bell’s Chief Global Brand Officer, said in a statement, via Today. “The magic of the Nacho Fries franchise extends beyond the menu item itself and is brought to life with our next saga of the Nacho Fries movie franchise that we hope brings some seasonal (and seasoned) joy to fans like only we can.”
