People have been getting holiday-themed drinks at Dunkin’ for a long time, and stories tell them this year’s holiday menu will be the same. With help from a Dunkin’ employee, snack writer has once again delighted fans with what looks like a sneak peek of Dunkin’s holiday options for 2024.
Warm Drinks for the Holidays That Are Sweet, Spicy, and All-Around Nice
The drinks are the main part of Dunkin’s holiday offering. With each sip, this year’s lineup offers a mix of new flavors and old favorites to get you in the holiday mood. There’s a drink for every occasion and mood during the holidays, from rich and creamy lattes to sweet cold brews.
1. Signature Latte with Holiday Cookies
This year’s reported menu would include a new Holiday Cookie Signature Latte that stands out. This festive drink has espresso, a tasty mix of brown sugar cookie syrup and a flavor shot of toasted almonds.
It also has whipped cream, caramel sauce, and cookie butter topping to finish it off. That is because it is delicious! This drink will surely be a hit with people who love strong coffee flavors that taste like cookies.
2. Mocha Latte with Peppermint
The well-known Peppermint Mocha Latte is back on Dunkin’ Donuts’ holiday menu. In this traditional drink, the rich flavor of espresso is mixed with the cool and refreshing flavor of peppermint. For many, this coffee is the perfect holiday drink because it tastes like candy canes and holiday treats, being both sweet and minty.
3. White Chocolate Latte with Toast
They are bringing back the Toasted White Chocolate Latte, a fan favorite. With each sip, this warm drink, made of smooth white chocolate and espresso, feels warmer and creamier.
This is a great choice if you like your coffee with a more gentle sweetness. Plus, it comes in Dunkin’s famous 32-ounce size.
4. Hot Coffee with Hazelnut Bark
It is said that Dunkin’ will soon offer Hot White Hazelnut Bark Coffee for coffee lovers who want something a little simpler but still full of holiday taste.
The smooth white chocolate complements the rich, nutty taste of the hazelnuts in this drink, making a balanced coffee that is both fun and filling.
5. Cold Brew with Cookies and Cream
Fans of Cold Brew will be glad to hear that the Cookie Butter Cold Brew will return. When this drink came out in 2022, it quickly became a favorite thanks to its smooth, rich cold brew base and sweet, spicy cookie buttercream.
Fans say the drink is “godly,” and it’s easy to see why. Cold and creamy simultaneously, with warmth from the cookie butter taste.
6. White Hazelnut Bark Iced Coffee
If you like your coffee cold, you might like the White Hazelnut Bark Iced Coffee. The Hot White Hazelnut Bark Coffee Iced Coffee has the same delicious hazelnut and white chocolate taste, but it’s served cold, which is more relaxing.
App-Only Holiday Drinks
It’s also said that Dunkin’ will offer some drinks that can only be ordered through the Dunkin’ app this holiday season. Fans will have a reason to open the app and try these new tastes.
1. Iced Chai with Brown Sugar and Oatmeal Crust
First on the list of drinks that can only be found in the app is the Brown Sugar Cookie Oat Iced Chai Latte. This drink combines the warm spices of chai tea with the warm, sweet taste of brown sugar cookies.
The use of oat milk gives it a smooth taste and complements the spices in the chai. People who like tea but want something new for the holidays should try this.
2. Coffee with Spiced Cookies, Hot or Cold
For coffee lovers, the Spiced Cookie Coffee will be available in both hot and cold versions. The tastes of spiced cookies and Dunkin’ Donuts’ famous coffee combine in this drink to create something joyful and familiar.
3. Toasted White Chocolate Coconut Cold Brew
If you want something truly special, the Toasted White Chocolate Coconut Cold Brew might become your new holiday favorite.
The creaminess of white chocolate and the tropical taste of coconut come together in this cold brew, a unique take on traditional holiday flavors. It’s a tasty and refreshing choice for people who love cold coffee all year.
4. Chocolate Mocha with Peppermint
The last drink available only through the app is the Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate. Peppermint and chocolate go well together, and this drink turns them into a creamy, cozy hot chocolate.
This is a great alternative to coffee for kids or anyone who wants a sweet holiday treat without the caffeine.
Holiday Treats That Are Both Sweet and Savory
Besides their holiday drinks, Dunkin’ is said to bring out several seasonal treats and hearty breakfast choices to get you in the holiday spirit.
1. Crunch of Almonds
As promised, here is the long-awaited Almond Croissant. Fans have been waiting long for this treat, and Dunkin’ is finally giving it to them. The thick almond cream inside the buttery, flaky croissant makes it the perfect complement to any of Dunkin’ Donuts’ holiday drinks.
