Dunkin' injects sugar, espresso in year's end

November 23, 2018

Dunkin' is giving the holidays a sugar high with its annual rollout of seasonally sweet snacks, meals and drinks. 

A news release said this year's holiday beverages include cinnamon and frosting-flavored sticky bun coffee and lattes, as well as white chocolate coffees and lattes. The high-octane sippers in the crowd, of course, can immerse themselves into the chain's potent handcrafted espresso line. 

Drinks will be served in the brand's Joy-emblazoned holiday cups, that also include the Joy in Childhood Foundation logo, an organization supported by both Dunkin' and sister brand, Baskin-Robbins. Starting on Nov. 28 this year, Dunkin' will add a new "Donate Now" feature to its website that allows those purchasing gift cards to add a donation to the foundation.

To nosh on in between or instead of meals, Dunkin' has added a cinnamon cream cheese spread to the menu, along with Hershey's Kisses doughnuts and red-and-white adorned Dear Santa doughnuts topped with Munchkins to stand in for Santa's belt and buttons. Finally, meal-seeking customers can try a holiday spice bacon breakfast sandwich this season at Dunkin' containing a double portion of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg-enhanced bacon.
