Dunkin’s Ringing in the Holiday Season With 5 Festive Drinks and the Return of a Fan-Favorite Treat

All I want for Christmas is a tall order of Dunkin’s Iced Holiday Cookie Latte and a flaky almond croissant. Luckily, the coffee chain is checking two things off my wish list with its annual holiday drop this week. 

Dunkin’ is officially adding a full menu of returning holiday favorites and exciting newcomers on November 1, according to a statement provided to Food & Wine. Even better? We’re seeing two months’ worth of “Free Donut Wednesdays” in the near future. Food blogger extraordinaire Markie Devo first predicted the new lineup of drinks and treats on Instagram earlier this month, and it seems his speculations were right on track. Let’s get into it. 

The Holiday Cookie Signature Latte (both hot and iced) arrives as the star of the show, bringing a gourmand flavor profile of buttery cookies, toasted almonds, and rich espresso. It’s topped with crumbles and a generous drizzle of caramel for extra sweetness. The highlight of the seasonal food menu, on the other hand, is the Almond Croissant — an almond paste-filled treat that fans have already demanded on social. It’s joined by the Hash Brown Brisket Scramble Bowl, a leveled-up version of the chain’s classic breakfast potatoes. This savory treat features shredded brisket, scrambled eggs, smoked cheddar cheese, poblano peppers, caramelized onions, and seasonings all over a bed of crisp hash rounds. 

Making a welcome return is the Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte and Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte, two beloved alums among Dunkin’s holiday rotation. Joining the Dunkin-verse is also the White Hazelnut Bark Coffee, which brings familiar notes of white chocolate and toasted hazelnut. Not to worry — the internet-beloved Cookie Butter Cold Brew is also returning to the holiday menu. 

The holiday hype comes hot on the heels of Dunkin’s recent Halloween rollout, which includes a revamped Spider Doughnut that’s quickly gaining a reputation online. ICYMI, the Boston-based coffee chain’s Instagram grid is filled with increasingly chaotic (and threateningly tongue-in-cheek) memes of the pastry, with captions like “who’s this diva.” Does this series of eyebrow-raising posts signal a rogue new route for Dunkin’s social team? Only time will tell. 

As for the holiday merch, you can browse Dunkin’ pajamas, beanies, socks, and Mini Doughnut Tote Bags made to match the new design on your iced coffee cup. They’ll drop the entire limited-quantity collection — plus, a brand-new bedazzled Dunkin’ Bling Cup — at noon on November 1. 

Finally, America’s favorite coffee chain is promising exclusive in-app deals, including “Free Donut Wednesdays,” returning from November 6 to December 25. This promo is only available to Dunkin’ Rewards members and requires a beverage purchase, but we’re not complaining about an opportunity to taste the menu. 

It isn’t holiday gifting season just yet, but Dunkin’ is already making us feel spoiled.
