For those of us who have an insatiable appetite for sweets, this is the most delightful time of year.
There is just enough holiday cheer (read: seasonal sweets) to go around somewhere in between those rich pumpkin pies and peppermint swirl coffees. And it appears that we've never had more options for a midday pick-me-up, especially with all the festive sweets and drops this season.
To put it another way, Dunkin' is introducing its own version of the Christmas sugar cookie, and this doughnut-shaped treat makes us think of one of the chain's Strawberry Frosted Sprinkle doughnuts. Dunkin' informs Food & Wine that their first-ever shortbread cookie, which will be released on December 4th, National Cookie Day, will include rainbow sprinkles and pastel pink icing on top.
Dunkin' affirms that there is a limited supply of this cookie. The good news is that its pretzel-filled Chocolate Chunk Cookie, which debuted in May, will still be available all year long.
In addition, the donut chain restaurant claims that we can count on Free Doughnut Wednesdays to remain a regular feature of our calendars throughout December. Here's the lowdown on this fan-favorite offer: Reward members receive a complimentary classic doughnut every Wednesday when they purchase any drink. In addition, fun new sprinkles in the shapes of tiny snowflakes and holiday trees will give each traditional doughnut—which comes in strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla varieties—a holiday makeover.
While you can, we advise combining any of these with Dunkin's limited-edition holiday beverages. Unable to decide? With a devoted following both online and offline, the Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte is hard to go wrong with. After missing its debut over the previous holiday season, Dunkin' even went so far as to develop the drink's own Instagram handle in 2019. Recent comments on the company's Instagram account demonstrate that the momentum hasn't stopped. However, a brand-new Almond Croissant and Hash Brown Brisket Scramble Bowl is also available if you're craving something heartier for breakfast. Additionally, celebrations wouldn't be the same without the doughnut filled with cookie butter.
In addition to holiday snacks and beverages, Dunkin's new doughnut-shaped shortbread cookie sounds delicious on its own. The Holiday Cookie Signature Latte, Cookie Butter Cold Brew, Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte, and White Hazelnut Bark Signature Latte are the remaining winter menu items for this year.
Continuing the cookie-inspired theme, the popular Cookie Butter Donut is making a triumphant return. This decadent treat combines a maple-iced donut with a filling of brown sugar cookie butter and a topping of cookie butter crumbles.
Dunkin's 2024 holiday menu captures the magic of the season with offerings that appeal to a wide range of tastes. Whether you're indulging in the nostalgia of a shortbread cookie or exploring bold new flavors, there is something special waiting for you.
