It’s beginning to look a lot like holiday menu season. Dunkin’ has just announced that its 2025 holiday menu will drop on November 5. This year’s lineup will feature five new beverage and food items along with returning seasonal favorites.
The chain is also unveiling “whimsical” new limited-edition holiday packaging designs it says are “inspired by the joy of Munchkins,” with illustrated characters pictured amidst gifts and snowy winter landscapes. The 25-count Munchkins boxes have a gingerbread-house look, and the illustrations are also featured on Dunkin’s holiday coffee cups and doughnut boxes.
“The holidays are one of the most joyful times at Dunkin’, when guests count down for the return of familiar flavors and little moments of comfort,” Anthony Epter, vice president of menu innovation at Dunkin’, says in a press release. “We wanted to capture that spirit with every sip and bite.”

What drinks are on Dunkin’s holiday menu for 2025?
The big news is that Dunkin’ is taking inspiration from a viral menu hack popularized by fans of its Cookie Butter Cold Brew and launching a new Cookie Butter Cloud Latte. The new latte “combines rich espresso with notes of brown sugar and baked cookie flavor,” according to Dunkin. The drink is served iced and topped with Cookie Butter Cold Foam and cookie butter crumbles. Adjectives used to describe the drink include “creamy,” “crunchy” and “dreamy,” just so you know.
“After seeing fans make their own Cookie Butter hacks, we knew it was time to make it official with the Cookie Butter Cloud Latte,” Epter says.
Also new this year: Dunkin’s first holiday-inspired drink in its Refresher line of fruity customizable beverages. The new Berry Sangria Dunkin’ Refresher offers a mixture of “bright berry flavors” with your choice of a base: green tea, black tea, lemonade or sparkling water. The resulting drink “channels the cheer of a holiday punch,” the brand says.
Rounding out this year’s holiday lineup are two returning lattes. Fans of Peppermint Mocha and Toasted White Chocolate Signature Lattes will be pleased to know they’ll be back again.

What foods are on Dunkin’s 2025 holiday menu?
Dunkin’ has something new for fans of both sweet and savory. Its new Raspberry Striped Croissant is a fruity and “festive” riff on its butter croissant, with “vibrant ribbons of raspberry baked right into the dough and a sweet raspberry fruit filling inside.”
The chain is also offering two new menu items featuring an “all-new sweet-meets-savory” bacon jam. The Ultimate Bacon Jam Breakfast Sandwich combines bacon, white cheddar cheese and a fried egg on a warm croissant slathered with the new bacon jam. The Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese includes bacon and melted white cheddar and American cheeses on toasted sourdough bread and a generous spread of bacon jam.
“Because we know how busy the season can be, we created our Bacon Jam lineup to give guests something satisfying and easy to enjoy on the go,” Epter says. “It’s a season made for connection, and Dunkin’ is right there with the flavors people love most.”
