Dunkin has not announced its 2026 holiday menu yet. Past launches point to a late October reveal and a debut in the first week of November, most likely Wednesday, November 4. Confirmed 2025 facts and 2026 forecasts are labeled separately.
Every item marked 2025 comes from Dunkin’s own announcement or major news coverage. Anything about 2026 is a forecast built on launch patterns. Prices come from reviews and menu trackers, because Dunkin publishes no single national price list.
Dunkin Holiday Menu With Prices
Prices vary by state, city and franchise owner, so any single number is a guide rather than a promise. Tables below separate confirmed promotional prices from figures reported in earlier seasons by reviewers and trackers.
Holiday Special Menu
Launch coverage counted four limited-time drinks and three new food items in 2025. Dunkin attached prices only to Rewards deals, so the price column shows those promotions wherever they exist, and everything else varies by shop.
| Item | 2025 status | Price note |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie Butter Cloud Latte | New, iced | Varies by shop |
| Berry Sangria Refresher | New | Varies by shop |
| Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte | Returning | Varies by shop |
| Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte | Returning | Varies by shop |
| Raspberry Striped Croissant | New | $2 with a drink, Nov 6 to 30 |
| Ultimate Bacon Jam Breakfast Sandwich | New | Varies by shop |
| Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese | New | Varies by shop |
Dunkin Donuts Cheersin
“Cheersin” appears as a heading on third-party menu sites above the returning drinks. I could not find it as an official category in Dunkin’s 2025 announcement, so treat it as a label for familiar holiday beverages.
| Drink | Size | Reported price |
|---|---|---|
| Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte | Small | $4.36 |
| Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte | Medium | $4.98 |
| Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte | Large | $5.61 |
| Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte | Medium | $4.98 |
| Holiday Blend Coffee | Standard | $2.98 |
| White Mocha Hot Chocolate | Standard | $3.61 |
A November 2024 review paid $5.29 for a medium Holiday Cookie Signature Latte, so plan on roughly $4 to $6 per signature latte. Confirm your exact total in the Dunkin app before ordering, because shop pricing differs.
Donuts Menu
Trackers report holiday donuts between $0.89 and $1.86 each, but older aggregator tables listing a Gingerbread Muffin or Frosted Snowflake Donut are undated. Treat them as history. The price at checkout is the only number that counts.
Dunkin Signature Holiday Cocktails
Dunkin does not sell alcohol, and no recent holiday announcement has included a cocktail. Pages listing holiday cocktails are mislabeling signature lattes. The closest match is the Berry Sangria Refresher, built on tea, lemonade or sparkling water.
Bakery Items
Each recent holiday menu carried one new pastry: the Almond Croissant in 2024, then the Raspberry Striped Croissant in 2025, with raspberry ribbons baked into the dough and fruit filling inside. Rewards members paid $2 with a drink.
Sandwich Menu
The 2025 menu introduced two bacon jam creations, the Ultimate Bacon Jam Breakfast Sandwich on a croissant and the Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese on sourdough. Dunkin said they would begin rolling out November 5, not appear everywhere at once.
Coffee Menu
Holiday Blend Coffee has been reported at $2.98. Many competitor tables paste everyday Americano, espresso and iced coffee prices under a holiday heading. Those drinks are not seasonal, so they tell you nothing new about the holiday lineup.
Tea Menu
No recent Dunkin holiday announcement has featured a dedicated seasonal hot tea. Tea shows up through the Berry Sangria Refresher, which offers a green tea or black tea base, plus lemonade or sparkling water for non-tea drinkers.
Dunkin Christmas Drinks
Dunkin runs no separate Christmas-only menu. The drinks people mean are the Peppermint Mocha and Toasted White Chocolate Signature Lattes, the Cookie Butter Cloud Latte and the Berry Sangria Refresher, all available through December while supplies last.
Dunkin Easter Menu
Easter does not belong on this menu. Any Easter items would belong to Dunkin’s spring promotions, which start months after winter items leave. Pages that mix Easter products into a holiday price list are padding, so ignore them.
Dunkin Holiday Drinks
Only two drinks have returned reliably since 2023. New arrivals tend to last one season before Dunkin rotates in something else, as the table below shows, so a new favorite is never guaranteed a second year.
| Year | New drinks | Returning |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Spiced Cookie Coffee | Cookie Butter Cold Brew, Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate |
| 2024 | Holiday Cookie Signature Latte, White Hazelnut Bark Coffee | Cookie Butter Cold Brew, Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate |
| 2025 | Cookie Butter Cloud Latte, Berry Sangria Refresher | Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate |
Dunkin Seasonal Drinks
Dunkin is still in Halloween mode. On September 30, 2026, it launched Green Apple Dunkin’ Zero flavors and a Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam, calling them the first chapter. These are not holiday items and will likely leave when winter arrives.
Holiday Drinks Menu
The 2025 drink menu is the template Dunkin is most likely to build on again. Four limited-time drinks anchored it. The first two are staples, while the last two were the 2025 additions, as shown below.
- Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte, hot or iced
- Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte, hot or iced
- Cookie Butter Cloud Latte, iced only
- Berry Sangria Refresher with a tea, lemonade or sparkling water base
What’s New on the Dunkin Donuts Holiday Menu This Year?
Nothing is confirmed for 2026. Each point below is a forecast drawn from Dunkin’s recent patterns and current product pushes, so you can separate evidence from guesswork. Where I cite a fact, it comes from a verified announcement.
New Drinks
Expect one or two new drinks, matching one in 2023 and two in each of the last two years. A cold foam drink looks plausible, since Dunkin launched its first Dunkin’ Zero with cold foam. Cookie butter is unconfirmed.
New Food Items
The pattern is one new pastry and one new savory item each year. A fresh pastry is the safe forecast. Whether bacon jam returns is unknown, so treat any named 2026 food item you see online as a rumor.
New Holiday Packaging & Cups
Dunkin changes holiday packaging annually. The 2024 season featured a Bling Cup in select stores, and 2025 used gingerbread-style Munchkins artwork on boxes and cups. No 2026 design has been shown, but expect images alongside the menu announcement.
New Rewards Offers
In 2025 Dunkin offered a $2 Raspberry Striped Croissant, a $4 Maple Sugar Bacon Breakfast Sandwich and triple points on two food holidays. Free Donut Wednesdays ran in 2023 and 2024, but I found no 2025 mention.
What Is Dunkin Holiday Menu?
The Dunkin holiday menu is a limited-time lineup of seasonal drinks, donuts, bakery items and sandwiches that replaces the fall menu in early November. Dunkin pairs it with new cups, boxes and app deals as one coordinated launch.
Why the Holiday Menu Is So Popular
Habit and social media drive the popularity. Peppermint Mocha and Toasted White Chocolate return yearly, while a viral Cookie Butter Cold Brew hack became the 2025 Cloud Latte. Coverage also calls the holidays a very profitable stretch for coffee chains.
Limited-Time Seasonal Items Explained
A limited-time offer, or LTO, is a menu item sold for one season. Dunkin rarely gives exact end dates, and shops stop selling once ingredients run out. New LTOs are not guaranteed to return, so try an appealing one early.
When Does Dunkin Donuts Holiday Menu Start in 2026?
Dunkin has not confirmed a start date. The most likely launch is the first week of November, with Wednesday, November 4 as the best single guess, based on the 2023 and 2025 launches, both of which fell on Wednesdays.
Official Release Date
There is no official date yet. Dunkin announced the 2024 and 2025 menus on October 29, so watch the final days of October. In 2024 the launch fell on a Friday, so Wednesday is a habit, not a rule.
How Long Does the Holiday Menu Last?
Dunkin publishes no end date. Items usually run through December while supplies last, and the 2025 Rewards deals continued until December 31. Busy shops may sell out earlier, so buy your must-have drink in November or early December.
Previous Holiday Menu Launch Dates (Timeline)
| Year | Announced | Launched |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Nov 1 | Wed, Nov 1 |
| 2024 | Tue, Oct 29 | Fri, Nov 1 |
| 2025 | Wed, Oct 29 | Wed, Nov 5 |
| 2026 | Not yet | Expected early Nov |
Some competitors list the 2024 launch as November 6. That date marks the start of Free Donut Wednesdays, not the menu, which reached shops on November 1. Double-check any launch date that cites only one source.
Which Holiday Items Are Returning?
No 2026 returning list exists yet. History says two drinks are near locks and nearly everything else is a coin flip, so read the sections below as probabilities, not promises. Dunkin confirms returns only in its own announcement.
Returning Drinks
Peppermint Mocha and Toasted White Chocolate Signature Lattes are the safest bets, appearing in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Cookie Butter Cold Brew ran from 2022 to 2024 but missed 2025, so the Cloud Latte is the likelier cookie butter return.
Returning Donuts
Holiday donuts are mostly sprinkle variations on core donuts, so some version is almost certain. The Cookie Butter Donut was called a fan favorite in 2024. Check your shop’s case, since what sits there can differ from national announcements.
Fan-Favorite Comebacks
Fans often ask for the Holiday Cookie Signature Latte, which debuted in 2024 and was absent from the 2025 returning list. A return is speculation, not a report. Free Donut Wednesdays is another frequent request.
Best Dunkin Holiday Drinks Ranked
This ranking uses ingredients, nutrition data, published reviews and return history. It is an editorial judgment, not a personal taste test, so your own preferences should break any ties between drinks that score very close.
#1 Best Overall Drink
Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte earns the top spot for consistency. It returns every year, balances chocolate with peppermint, and arrives topped with whipped cream, mocha drizzle and hot chocolate powder. It is the lowest-risk pick for most coffee drinkers.
Best Sweet Drink
The Cookie Butter Cloud Latte is the sweetest option, combining espresso, brown sugar and baked cookie notes with cookie butter cold foam and crumbles. One reviewer admired the espresso balance, while another could not finish half a medium.
Best Coffee Flavor
Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte keeps coffee in the foreground. It runs slightly lighter on sugar than the Peppermint Mocha and finishes with caramel drizzle and cinnamon sugar. It suits drinkers who find peppermint too sharp.
Best Cold Drink
The Berry Sangria Refresher wins because you control the base. Green tea, black tea, lemonade and sparkling water each change the drink, and one reviewer found it genuinely refreshing. Sparkling water is likely lightest, and lemonade pushes sweetness up.
Drink That Is Worth Skipping
Skip the Cookie Butter Cloud Latte if you dislike sweet drinks. That is a mismatch, not a flaw. The foam and crumbles stack sweetness on a sweet base, leaving little coffee bitterness. Order a small size when trying anything new.
Holiday Drinks Taste Guide
Taste is subjective, but each drink’s structure tells you what to expect. Pair the sweetness estimates below with Dunkin’s own descriptions, and remember that toppings such as foam, crumbles and drizzle change the experience as much as the base does.
Sweetness Ratings
Ratings are my editorial estimates on a one to five scale, drawn from third-party nutrition data and Dunkin’s descriptions. They do not replace the official nutrition calculator, and the Cloud Latte score is an inference from its toppings.
| Drink | Sweetness (1 to 5) | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte | 4 | 56 g sugar, medium |
| Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte | 4 | 54 g sugar, medium |
| Cookie Butter Cloud Latte | 5 | Foam, crumbles, syrup |
| Berry Sangria Refresher | 3 | Depends on base |
Flavor Notes
Peppermint Mocha pairs chocolate with cool mint. Toasted White Chocolate is creamy with caramel and cinnamon sugar. A useful practitioner detail: Dunkin flavor shots are unsweetened, while swirls and syrups are sweetened, so shots cut sugar without losing flavor.
Customer Reviews & Reddit Opinions
Published reviews describe the Cookie Butter Cloud Latte as rich and dessert-like and the Berry Sangria Refresher as light. I did not cite Reddit threads, since opinions shift by season and shop. Check Reddit after launch for current reports.
Dunkin Donuts Holiday Menu Calories & Nutrition
Numbers below come from third-party databases that republish Dunkin data and may lag current recipes. Use Dunkin’s official nutrition calculator for final decisions, especially if you track sugar or manage allergies or other dietary needs.
Lowest-Calorie Drinks
The lightest options are the simplest. Holiday Blend Coffee with a splash of milk will land well below any signature latte. The Berry Sangria Refresher on sparkling water is likely lighter, but I could not verify its calories.
Highest-Calorie Drinks
The Cookie Butter Cloud Latte is probably the heaviest 2025 drink, though I could not confirm its calories. An earlier Dunkin Fluffernutter Cloud Latte lists 580 in a medium, well above the signature lattes below.
| Drink | Size | Calories | Sugar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte | Medium | 420 | 56 g |
| Toasted White Chocolate Latte, hot | Medium | 410 | 54 g |
| Holiday Cookie Signature Latte (2024) | Medium | 380 | 45 g |
| Fluffernutter Cloud Latte (reference) | Medium | 580 | Not listed |
Healthier Customizations
Start with the swirl: ask for fewer pumps, or swap in an unsweetened flavor shot. Skipping whipped cream and drizzle trims more. Skim milk, a smaller size and sparkling water in the Refresher cut further. Request them in the app.
Are Dunkin Holiday Items Available at Every Location?
No. Dunkin describes holiday items as available at participating shops, so each franchise usually decides what it carries. Expect core drinks nearly everywhere and new food items to be less consistent, especially outside standalone locations.
Participating Stores
Most Dunkin shops are independently operated franchises, so menus differ by owner and format. Airport, grocery and kiosk locations often carry fewer items. Rollouts can also be staggered, as with the 2025 bacon jam items.
Why Some Items Sell Out
Limited-time items have limited inventory. High-demand drinks and new pastries move first, and franchise ordering schedules slow restocking. Busy weekends and the pre-Thanksgiving rush are likely pressure points, so ordering on a weekday morning may improve your odds.
How To Check Local Availability
The Dunkin app is the most reliable check. Pick your shop and open its live menu. Call the shop for donuts and pastries, since display cases change through the day, and ignore national menu photos for local stock.
Dunkin Holiday Hours 2026
Dunkin publishes no national holiday hours, because franchise owners set their own. The dates below are 2026 calendar days. Confirm your shop’s hours in the app before you travel, since hours can change around holidays.
Christmas Eve Hours
Christmas Eve falls on Thursday, December 24, 2026. No official schedule exists, and many shops may keep a normal or shortened day. Morning lines tend to run long, so ordering ahead is the smart move.
Christmas Day Hours
Christmas Day is Friday, December 25, 2026. Some locations may close while others may open with reduced hours. Because no national rule exists, check your specific shop the day before, and keep a backup location in mind.
New Year’s Eve Hours
New Year’s Eve is Thursday, December 31, 2026. Some shops may close earlier than usual, and Dunkin has announced nothing. Rely on the app’s store details instead of a generic web listing, which may be outdated.
New Year’s Day Hours
New Year’s Day is Friday, January 1, 2027. Some locations may open late or close for the day. Check posted hours online, or call directly if you need a guaranteed pickup time for a large order.
How To Order Dunkin Holiday Menu Online
Online ordering is the best way to check availability and apply offers. Dunkin places most Rewards deals in its app, so skipping it can cost you a discount, and it also shows each shop’s live menu.
Dunkin App Ordering
Open the app, choose your shop and build your order from that location’s live menu. You can pay in the app, schedule pickup and apply offers before checkout. Dunkin has given app users early access to a holiday flavor before.
Delivery Apps
Delivery apps such as DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub may list some Dunkin shops. Menu prices there often differ from in-store pricing, and fees add to the total. Check whether the app lets you link your Rewards account.
Rewards Redemption Guide
Activate offers in the app, add qualifying items to your cart, and confirm the discount appears before paying. The 2025 deals required a beverage purchase, so a food-only order would not qualify. Always read each offer’s dates and limits.
Best Dunkin Holiday Orders For First-Time Buyers
These suggestions use 2025 items, since 2026 is unannounced. Swap in new drinks after launch, and keep the same logic: balance sweet with savory and keep trial sizes small. Check the app for offers before you pay full price.
Best Drink + Donut Combo
Pair a Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte with a plain glazed or lightly frosted donut. The drink supplies the sweetness, so a simple donut keeps the pairing balanced. For savory, try Toasted White Chocolate with the Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese.
Best Budget Order
Use the Rewards deal. In 2025, a $2 Raspberry Striped Croissant with a drink made a low-cost festive combination. Add a Holiday Blend Coffee, reported near $2.98, for about $5 before tax, if a similar offer returns.
Best Coffee Lover Order
Choose a medium cold brew and add one unsweetened flavor shot if the shop offers it. You get stronger coffee flavor and a cleaner finish than a swirl-based drink. For something hot, try Toasted White Chocolate with fewer pumps.
