The Dunkin’ Holiday Menu Leaked & It Can’t Come Fast Enough

This week, Starbucks dropped its holiday menu, and it caused some stir up. Fans were disappointed to see that some holiday drinks from past years, like the Cran-Merry Refresher, were not coming back this winter. Luckily, the Dunkin’ holiday menu was just leaked, and there are plenty of new (and returning) beverages and food items to look forward to — as well as another special menu drop.

What’s on the Dunkin’ holiday menu this year?

Dunkin’s holiday menu is broken into two parts this year, each of them dropping at a different time. The first half of the menu features a mix of new and returning items. Coming back to menus this winter is the Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte and the Toasted White Signature Latte. Of course, we need lattes for the holiday season. Dunkin’ is also bringing the Ultimate Bacon Jam Breakfast Sandwich. New on menus is the Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese, which is bacon, white cheddar, and American cheese on toasted sourdough bread with a layer of sweet-savory bacon jam. The Cookie Butter Cloud Latte is also making its debut — it’s only available iced, and it includes cookie butter syrup, cookie butter cold foam, and cookie butter crumbles. If you’re a fan of cookie butter, this drink is definitely for you. Dunkin’ is also introducing the Berry Sangria Refresher: a new mixed berry blend that can be added to green tea, black tea, lemonade, water, sparkling water or oatmilk.

The second half of Dunkin’s holiday menu is just as packed. Coming back again for another holiday season are the Holiday Munchkins and the Holiday Donut Sprinkle Takeover. Dunkin’ is also introducing a couple of new sweet treats, though. The Raspberry Striped Croissant is an all-butter croissant with flaky layers and a fruity raspberry filling. My mouth is already watering. Salted Dark Chocolate Munchkins will also be hitting Dunkin’s this winter.

But of course, Dunkin’ couldn’t just stop at a holiday menu. Along with the holiday menu leak, it was revealed that a Wicked-themed menu is also coming to stores. It will feature a Wicked Pink Refresher: a strawberry dragonfruit refresher with a blueberry flavor shot and sparkling water. Of course, Dunkin’ has to pay homage to Elphaba too, so there’s the Wicked Green Matcha — an iced matcha blended with whole milk, brown sugar syrup and a toasted almond flavor shot. Along with these two new drinks, Dunkin’ is also adding Wicked Munchkins: old fashioned glazed Munchkins coated in green and pink sprinkles. If you get 10 Munchkins, you’ll get an exclusive Wicked-themed Munchkin tin.

When does the menu drop?

The first half of Dunkin’s holiday menu is speculated to drop on November 5th, and the second half can be expected around December 3rd. The Wicked menu will be available on November 5th — just in time for Wicked: For Good.
