Dunkin' Debuts New Holiday Items

Dunkin' Donuts has rolled out a new line of holiday drinks and pastries.

For the rest of the year, the 9,900-unit chain will offer a warm cinnamon swirl muffin topped with coffee cake streusel and powdered sugar.

Dunkin' also is adding a new cinnamon swirl coffee and latte to the holiday menu, and reprising its seasonal peppermint mocha and gingerbread coffees and lattes. All of the beverages are available hot or iced.

The brand also said its mint hot chocolate has been added as a permanent addition to the menu.

To accompany the new drinks, Dunkin' will offer two seasonal doughnuts. The Sprinkle the Cheer Donut is a yeast ring doughnut with red icing and holly berry sprinkle mix. The Holiday Star Donut is star-shaped, filled with the same custard as the chain's Bavarian Kreme Donut and topped with silver sprinkle mix.

In addition, Dunkin' is offering two limited-edition holiday ornaments — a sprinkled doughnut and a gold Dunkin' Donuts cup for $3.99 each.
