If you’ve been keeping up with Dunkin’ lately, you’ll know plenty of goodies have rolled out just in time for the holidays. We got a taste of the 2020 holiday menu as early as November 2, and they’re still selling Pumpkin Spice Lattes for those of you who can’t kick the PSL craving. But the most exciting holiday item from Dunkin’ isn’t actually something you can eat—it’s something you can smell.
That’s right, Dunkin’ and candle creator Homesick have teamed up for two amazing scents that will leave your home smelling like a fresh pot of coffee. Here’s where to find them.
There’s No Better Scent Than Coffee
Imagine opening up a brand-new bag of ground coffee and taking a big whiff. We’ve all done it! Now you can do it from the comfort of your living room—and without the hassle of spilling grounds everywhere. These limited edition Dunkin’ candles come in two scents: Original Blend Coffee and Old Fashioned. The Original Blend Coffee candle brings together notes of espresso, caramel and sugarcane, while the Old Fashioned candle (named after the Old Fashioned Doughnut that Dunkin’ serves) combines cinnamon, clove, vanilla and nutmeg.

These candles come just in time for the holidays, making them the ideal stocking stuffer or conversation starter. Seriously, who’s going to ignore that your entire house smells like fresh, Dunkin’ coffee?! Each candle burns for 60-80 hours in total, and you can even add a personalized message to each candle in case you’re getting them as a gift. Might we suggest, “I love you a latte?”
Honestly, this is a step up from the Quarter Pounder candle. Sorry, McDonald’s…
Where to Snag Yours
While they are limited edition and only around until the end of the holiday season, you don’t have to step out to pick up these guys. You can simply order them online from Homesick’s site, and they’ll be delivered straight to your door. Both candles retail for around $34, though the Old Fashioned candle is sold out at the moment. You can still get your hands on the Original Blend candle, though you might want to move quickly—these are sure to disappear fast.
No matter how you do the holidays this year, make sure to spend some time with family and these new scents from Dunkin’ and Homesick.
