Dunkin’ Holiday Menu
Who doesn’t love the holiday season? The anticipation in the air, the family traditions and, most importantly, the coffee chain holiday drink menus! From the classic Peppermint Mocha to the Sugar Cookie latte, these big-name coffee chains try to keep it exciting with new additions each year. While it all may be a marketing move, who doesn’t love a fun, cozy drink? In recent years, more and more cafes have experimented with tried and true flavors, such as gingerbread, toffee nut and sugar chestnut praline. Hot chocolate is always a classic treat to warm you up from the cold, paired nicely with gingerbread cookies or other festive pastries. As we shift from pumpkin spice to eggnog, we decided to start the holiday specials at Dunkin’!
Formerly known as Dunkin’ Donuts, Dunkin’ is not only an American classic but an East Coast specialty. With one right up the road from campus, it had to be the next stop on our coffee tour. As we drove into the Dunkin’ parking lot, we already knew what we had our hearts set on… the Cookie Butter Signatures! The line for the drive-thru was long, as always, but the ordering process was seamless!
Grace had seen it everywhere on her TikTok, so we knew it was the one we had to go with. Grace got the Cookie Butter Cold Brew, while Grace got the Holiday Cookie Signature Latte. There were other holiday drinks on the menu, such as Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate and White Hazelnut Bark Coffee. We also spotted the Cookie Butter donut, which might be one that Grace goes back to try!
Overall rating—We give this week a 4.15 out of 5! While we may be biased in liking cookie butter in general, these drinks are ones that we would recommend to our friends. They make us excited for the holiday season and all of the fun drinks we’ll get to try to warm us up from the cold in Lewisburg.
Flavor—DELICIOUS! If you are a fan of cookie butter, we wholeheartedly recommend it! The cold brew option definitely boasts more bitterness, while the latte is a sweet treat. Both are topped with cookie crumbs, while the cold brew has cookie butter cold foam! The latte has more syrups and flavors, like toasted almond and caramel drizzle, but both drinks have the classic brown sugar cookie syrup that make the drinks what they are.
Fun—Both drinks were a nice treat! The experience itself was nothing mind-blowing since we just ordered at the drive-thru. But the anticipation of tasting the cookie butter drinks for ourselves was an exciting experience.
Fame—It’s Dunkin’! America runs on it, or so they say! Here in Lewisburg, there is almost always a line at the Dunkin’ drive-thru, but it moves quickly. Definitely not a place to dwell, take pictures and study, but if you’re looking for your everyday cup of coffee, you can never go wrong.
Funds—The medium Cookie Butter Cold Brew came in at around $4.50 while the medium Signature Holiday Cookie Latte was around $5.50. With Dunkin’ specialty drinks, this price is exactly what you would expect, not cheap but not overly expensive.
