When it comes to seasonal drinks, in the world of coffee chain giants, it’s Dunkin‘ vs Starbucks. (Dutch Bros and Caribou we still see you.) And, while the rest of us are in Halloween mode, Dunkin’s holiday menu for 2023 is here.
We got the tip early from Markie Devo that Dunkin’s holiday menu would arrive on November 1st. So, be sure to indulge in everything Pumpkin Spice now, because the Cookie Butter Cold Brew is ready to bust through the wall come the first day of November. Or is that the Kool-Aid Man? We get them confused.
What Will Dunkin’s Holiday Menu Include?
Dunkin’s holiday menu for 2023 launched in the U.S. on November 1st. A day earlier than the seasonal menu did last year and a day earlier than Starbucks.
The Dunkin’ Holiday menu for 2023 includes:
- Cookie Butter Cold Brew
- Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte
- Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte
- Spiced Cookie Coffee
- Loaded Hash Browns
- Triple Chocolate Muffin
- Holiday Sprinkle Donuts (November 29th)
In addition the new Spiced Cookie Coffee, they’ve brought back most of the favorites from last year, and have a whole drink cart of ideas for secret menu drinks you can order via the app. Keep scrolling for those.
Also, those loaded hash browns look like they’re our new grab-and-go breakfast. Sorry, egg white bites, you had your run. And by run we mean we thought about ordering you at least five times.
Dunkin’ Holiday Menu for 2023
1. Cookie Butter Cold Brew
Last year we fell hard for this Dunkin’ seasonal drink. The Cookie Butter Cold Brew is made with brown sugar syrup and topped with Cookie Butter Cold Foam (Starbucks, get on this…) and Cookie Butter Crumbles. In other words: gimme.
2. Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte
We’ve just now realized that Dunkin’s Peppermint Mocha Latte is topped with hot chocolate powder. Flavor-wise, does it differ markedly from the mocha inside the drink? Guess we’ll have to taste test and find out. Oh. Darn.
It’s also available iced for all of you who drink iced coffee year round.
3. Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte
If Dunkin’s White Chocolate Latte wasn’t already high up on the Nice list, the fact that they top it with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon sugar topping would put it at number one.
4. Spiced Cookie Coffee
For this holiday season, Dunkin’ continues to lean into the Cookie Butter. We did too until we learned it is not a good idea to build your house out of it. (So many ants.) This seasonal drink is made with brown sugar cookie syrup, vanilla syrup, and oat milk. Which Dunkin’ also refuses to spell correctly. Cool.
5. Loaded Hash Browns
The description of this breakfast food is sending us. It reads, “nine toasted hash browns drizzled with Texas Queso topped with crumbled bacon served in a bowl with a fork.” We have just one question. How many is too many times to order this a day?
6. Triple Chocolate Muffin
It’s a muffin? It’s a muffin.
7. In-App Beverages
Dunkin’s secret menu gets overlooked next to Starbucks’. But, with more than 14,000 ways to create a signature drink, it shouldn’t. Here’s some secret menu ideas for seasonal drinks to try this holiday season.
