Dunkin’ holiday drinks are here to fuel your season’s greetings! This year marks Dunkin’s most cheerful holiday lineup ever, and we’ve got the scoop on all the delicious beverages to choose from.
Let’s start with some even more exciting news: Peppermint Mocha is back! The beloved coffee is a fan favorite, and regular Dunkin’ customers had this drink at the top of their Christmas wish list. (In fact, while we were waiting for its return, we perfected a mint mocha copycat recipe for you to make at home.) But the holiday lineup gets even tastier, yet…
Check Out Dunkin’s Holiday Drinks
Dunkin’ announced the return of one fan-favorite seasonal latte—the Peppermint Mocha—and the debut of two new festive sippers fit for making any chilly day bright. All of these lattes are available hot or iced and are chock-full of familiar winter flavors. Sip your way through the holiday season with these signature drinks:
- The Peppermint Mocha is just what you’d expect from the holidays: rich, creamy chocolate with a minty twist, all finished with whipped cream, mocha drizzle and a generous sprinkle of hot cocoa powder.
- The Gingerbread Latte is the spicy bite you’ve been looking for in a holiday latte, bringing together your favorite Christmas cookie, whipped cream, caramel drizzle and a pinch of cinnamon sugar.
- The Chai Oatmilk Latte is in a league of its own, wrapping spicy-sweet chai tea (made with cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg flavors) and Dunkin’ oatmilk up in a latte fit for under the tree.
We’re already trying to figure out how to keep the Chai Oatmilk Latte around. We might have to add it to our Dunkin’ secret menu for January!
Here’s How Else Dunkin’ Is Spreading Cheer
With the holiday menu comes the debut of something a little more savory. Dunkin’ is rolling out the new Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich, AKA the perfect morning pick-me-up made with Cherrywood smoked baked, two fried eggs, aged Wisconsin white cheddar and, of course, sourdough toast. The tasty new sandwich is available for only a limited time, hitting menus on November 4 and disappearing as early as December 1. (All the more reason to try one this week, huh?)
Dunkin’ is also dropping some holiday cups and doughnut boxes stamped with the new slogan “Cheersin’.” According to Dunkin’, the slogan is a combination of “cheers!” and “Dunkin’.” We don’t know about you, but we’ll definitely be “Cheersin'” as we indulge in a new latte and sourdough sandwich from Dunkin’.
Do the holidays get any better than this?!
Aunt Grace's Eggnog
When I was growing up, I couldn't get enough of the nonalcoholic eggnog my aunt always prepared for us kids. Now I enjoy this adult version. —Susan Hein, Burlington, Wisconsin
Hot Buttered Cider Mix
Put the butter base for this beverage in a decorative jar and attach a copy of the recipe for a great gift from your kitchen. You can omit the brandy for a kid-friendly version. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Honey-Bourbon Hot Chocolate
My husband and I like to enjoy this grown-up version of hot chocolate on a cold winter evening. It's even better made with honey-flavored bourbon if you can find that in your local store. —Andrea Harvath, Duncannon, Pennsylvania
Cranberry Sparkler
The flavors of this refreshing cran-raspberry cocktail are great any time of year. In winter, the cranberry is perfect to serve for Christmas or New Year's Eve drinks; on a warm summer's night, the raspberry comes to the fore. It's a favorite for our girls' night! —Susan Stetzel, Gainesville, New York
Candy Cane Punch
Peppermint ice cream makes this creamy drink taste—and look—more like a dessert than a punch! I've mixed it many times for ladies' lunches and buffets. For a fun garnish, hang mini candy canes around the punch bowl or on cups. —Neva Schnauber, Ft. Collins, Colorado

Holiday Peppermint Mocha
Make spirits bright with a minty mocha to share under the mistletoe or around the piano. I’ve also stirred in coffee liqueur instead of peppermint. —Lauren Brien-Wooster, South Lake Tahoe, California
