Dunkin’ is getting into the holiday spirit with a festive new menu arriving November 4, 2026. This year’s lineup features a playful Donutcracker theme, six Cookie Butter beverages and four Toasted White Chocolate drinks. Alongside the seasonal favorites, the coffee chain is introducing special rewards promotions and a charitable offer, giving customers plenty of reasons to stop by as the holiday season gets underway.
Dunkin Introduces a Donutcracker Character for Its 2026 Holiday Packaging
Holiday cups are practically part of the seasonal excitement at coffee chains, and Dunkin’ is giving customers something new to look forward to this year. For its 2026 holiday season, the brand is introducing the Donutcracker, a playful character inspired by the traditional Christmas nutcracker. The design features donut-inspired details, festive sprinkles and Dunkin’s familiar pink-and-orange colors. Beginning November 4, the character will appear on holiday cups, donut boxes and MUNCHKINS boxes at participating restaurants nationwide. Rather than simply decorating its packaging with traditional winter patterns, Dunkin’ has created a recognizable character that connects its products with a familiar holiday symbol. The Donutcracker will serve as the centerpiece of the company’s seasonal packaging, adding a festive touch to everything from morning coffee orders to boxes of donuts picked up for holiday gatherings. Dunkin’ has also hinted at additional seasonal surprises and special appearances involving the character throughout the holiday season.
Cookie Butter Returns With Six Festive Holiday Drinks
Few seasonal flavors have developed as much enthusiasm among Dunkin’ customers as Cookie Butter, and the brand is bringing it back for another holiday season. Starting November 4, the sweet, spiced cookie-inspired flavor will feature in six different beverages, giving customers several ways to enjoy it. The Cookie Butter Cloud Latte combines espresso, milk and Cookie Butter Syrup, finished with Cookie Butter Cold Foam and cookie butter crumbles. The Cookie Butter Cloud Dunkalatte takes a different approach, combining coffee milk, espresso and Cookie Butter Syrup with the same signature cold foam topping. Customers looking for something without espresso can choose Cookie Butter Hot Chocolate, which features whipped cream and cookie butter crumbles. The lineup also includes Cookie Butter Matcha, made with sweetened matcha, whole milk and Cookie Butter Syrup, alongside the Iced Cookie Butter Oat Chai Latte. Rounding out the collection is Spiced Cookie Iced Coffee, which combines Dunkin’ iced coffee, oatmilk and Cookie Butter Syrup. Together, these drinks bring the familiar flavor into several popular coffeehouse categories. The seasonal lineup will be available for a limited time at participating locations, while supplies last.
Toasted White Chocolate Returns With Four Seasonal Beverages
Cookie Butter is not the only familiar flavor making a comeback. Dunkin’ is also bringing back Toasted White Chocolate, using it in four seasonal beverages that offer a mix of espresso, matcha and sweeter specialty drinks. The Toasted White Chocolate Cloud Latte combines espresso, whole milk and the returning flavor, with Sweet Cold Foam added on top. Customers who prefer a more indulgent latte can try the Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte, which comes finished with whipped cream, caramel drizzle and cinnamon sugar. The Almond White Chocolate Shakin’ Espresso offers a different experience by combining toasted white chocolate and toasted almond flavors with oatmilk and a double shot of espresso. Meanwhile, the Raspberry White Chocolate Matcha blends sweetened matcha green tea with whole milk, raspberry flavor and Toasted White Chocolate swirl. This combination gives customers an option that moves beyond the traditional coffee-based holiday beverage. The four drinks demonstrate how Dunkin’ is using one returning flavor across several different preparations rather than limiting it to a single signature latte. All four beverages are scheduled to arrive November 4 at participating restaurants and will remain available for a limited time.
Dunkin’s Holiday Menu Arrives Nationwide on November 4 With Rewards and Charitable Offers
The holiday menu brings more than new packaging and returning flavors, with Dunkin’ also introducing seasonal promotions and opportunities for customers to support a charitable cause. The Donutcracker packaging and holiday beverages will begin arriving at participating Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide on November 4, 2026. Customers will be able to order the seasonal drinks in stores, through the drive-thru or ahead of time using the Dunkin’ mobile app. Dunkin’ Rewards members will also have an opportunity to earn triple points on beverage purchases from November 4 through November 5, subject to the promotion’s eligibility requirements. Another seasonal initiative involves the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, which supports children battling hunger or illness through food programs, children’s hospitals and nonprofit organizations. Customers who donate at least $1 at participating restaurants between November 4 and November 30 will receive a limited-edition sticker sheet as a thank-you, while supplies last. Donations can be made at the register or through the drive-thru. The foundation has awarded more than $70 million in grants since 2006, making the initiative part of a broader effort to support children and families. The holiday menu itself is available for a limited time, so customers interested in the returning flavors will need to visit participating locations while supplies last.
