We’re just two days away from Halloween, so naturally, every retailer in town is filled with artificial trees, garland, and tons of Santa-themed knick-knacks. (The marketing calendar gets tighter and tighter every year.) Of course, coffee shops have been using the push to advertise their holiday menus, and this year Dunkin’ is beating Starbucks by one day.
On Oct. 28, the brand announced that it’s releasing its holiday menu (along with festive new packaging) nationwide on Nov. 4.
Meet the new Dunkin’ mascot: the Donutcracker
Instead of generic snowflakes or winter scenes, Dunkin’ is plastering a brand-new mascot all over its packaging this year. The “Donutcracker” is a slightly unhinged but undeniably festive take on the classic nutcracker, decked out in the brand’s signature pink-and-orange color palette. You’ll see this guy staring back at you on holiday cups, donut boxes, and Munchkins carriers all season long.
Dunkin’ holiday menu drinks 2026: Cookie Butter and Toasted White Chocolate return
Dunkin’ isn’t reinventing the wheel with its drink menu this year, but it is bringing back two popular fan favorites. Here’s what you can order this season:
The Cookie Butter lineup
- Cookie Butter Cloud Latte: Espresso, Cookie Butter Syrup, and milk, topped with Cookie Butter Cold Foam and cookie butter crumbles.
- Cookie Butter Cloud Dunkalatte: Espresso, Cookie Butter Syrup, and coffee milk (a New England staple made by mixing milk with sweet coffee syrup, just like chocolate milk), topped with Cookie Butter Cold Foam.
- Cookie Butter Hot Chocolate: Rich hot chocolate and Cookie Butter Syrup topped with whipped cream and cookie butter crumbles.
- Cookie Butter Matcha: Sweetened matcha green tea blended with whole milk and Cookie Butter Syrup.
- Iced Cookie Butter Oat Chai Latte: A chai latte made with oat milk and Cookie Butter Syrup.
- Spiced Cookie Iced Coffee: Dunkin’ Iced Coffee and oat milk paired with sweet Cookie Butter Syrup.
The Toasted White Chocolate lineup
- Toasted White Chocolate Cloud Latte: Toasted White Chocolate combined with espresso and whole milk, topped with Sweet Cold Foam.
- Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte: Toasted White Chocolate blended with espresso and whole milk, finished with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon sugar.
- Almond White Chocolate Shakin’ Espresso: Toasted White Chocolate and toasted almond flavor shaken with oat milk and a double shot of espresso.
- Raspberry White Chocolate Matcha: Sweetened matcha green tea blended with whole milk, raspberry flavor, and a Toasted White Chocolate swirl.
Fans on the r/DunkinDonuts subreddit are already plotting out their orders, with one user noting they’ve been “looking forward to” the cookie butter drinks since last year, especially the Cookie Butter Cold Brew. They also recommend adding a splash of cream to balance the flavor. If whipped cream and cookie crumbles are too much for your morning coffee, another user suggested hacking the menu by ordering a standard iced latte with brown sugar cookie syrup and almond flavor shots instead.
