How to Make a Succulent Wreath You Can Hang All Year Round

There’s something so *right* about a Christmas wreath on your front door. And while we know you love a classic circle of Douglas Fir (mmm, we can smell it now), it’s time for a refresh, California style.

If you’re looking to earn best-guest status, this also makes a great gift! Now, let’s wreath it up.

Materials + Tools:

— 12-inch wreath frame

— sphagnum moss

— succulents

— floral wire

— bobby pins

— pencil

— bucket

Instructions:

1. Soak the sphagnum moss in a bucket with water for 5 minutes, or until all the moss is wet. Squeeze out excess water.

2. As the moss soaks, clean the roots of each succulent. You want a stem or root that is long enough to “plant” in the moss.

3. Cover the front and back of your wreath frame in moss, compressing as you go. Then wrap floral wire around the moss to secure.

4. Starting with the bigger succulents, secure each plant to the wreath using a bobby pin. Pro Tip: You want to sandwich the stem rather than pierce it! Test how secure it is by holding your wreath upright.

5. Repeat these steps to build your wreath. We suggest that you start with the biggest succulents and work your way to the smallest so you have a balanced design.

Et voila! Place your final succulent on your wreath. Do one last shake to make sure all the succulents are secure.

Get a big ol’ bow and hang it on your wall, door or window.

Christmas wreaths are great way to elevate your front door, entryway, or mantel during the holidays. From faux cedar and pine wrapped in velvet ribbon to a beautiful mix of dried fruit and flowers, these wreaths satisfy any holiday aesthetic and budget.

Dunkin’s winter menu for 2025 is lookin’ pretty sweet. Seriously – 3 out of 5 new drinks on the menu are inspired by cake. Since there’s little I love more than a good, decadent dessert (other than coffee, of course), I’m especially excited about this new lineup!

The Dunkin’ winter menu also has one sweet snack and an iced espresso drink that are both hauntingly similar to what Starbucks has to offer. Is the competition heating up, or is it just me?

The Dunkin’ winter menu dropped on December 31, just ahead of the new year. Dunkin's holiday menu dropped on November 1.

Let’s officially get into it. Here’s everything on the Dunkin’ menu this December to start 2025 off just right!

Drinks On The Dunkin' Winter Menu

@snackolator

NEW! Lava Cake Signature Latte

Lava Cake Swirl flavoring, whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and hot chocolate powder. Now that's a mouthful! That's exactly how this new drink is built – with tons and tons of chocolate. If you've got a strong sweet tooth, this one's for you.

@snackolator

NEW! Lava Cake Coffee

Dunkin' is also featuring the new Lava Cake Swirl flavoring in this creamy coffee. It'll be available to order hot or iced!

@snackolator

Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso

Um, Starbucks dupe, anyone?! Dunkin's version of the famed Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso looks like it follows a very similar recipe to the Starbies way: espresso (shaken until frothy), brown sugar syrup, and oat milk. I can't wait to try this one and see how it measures up to my routine Starbucks order. It even got a co-sign from Sabrina Carpenter.

Dunkin'

Brown Sugar Oat Iced Matcha Latte

Dunkin' will offer two new in-app exclusive drinks this season, the first being the Brown Sugar Oat Iced Matcha Latte. It's like your average iced matcha latte, amped up with some brown sugar syrup and oat milk. Yum.

@snackolator

Raspberry Lava Cake Coffee

The second in-app exclusive drink on theDunkin' winter menu is the Raspberry Lava Cake Coffee, which features a dose of Lava Cake Swirl alongside a raspberry flavor shot and cream. You'll be able to order this one hot or iced.

Food On The Dunkin' Winter Menu

@snackolator

NEW! Whoopie Pie Specialty Donut

Now, onto the good stuff. The Whoopie Pie Specialty Donut features a halved glazed chocolate cake donut that's filled with vanilla whipped buttercreme icing and topped with a cute lil' buttercreme rosette.

Dunkin'

Iced Lemon Loaf Cake

Okay, yet another Starbucks similarity! This zesty-sweet snack returns on December 31. Dunkin's Iced Lemon Loaf Cake is moist as can be, and is topped with a thick layer of lemon icing.

More Dunkin' Menu Items To Come In 2025

Dunkin'

Dunkin' Valentine's Donuts

Speculation around the Dunkin' winter menu for 2025 also dropped some hints about the chain's Valentine's Day offerings.

According to the buzz, the Brownie Batter (pictured above) and Cupid's Choice donuts will return on January 29. What's even more exciting is that a new iteration of Dunkin's Munchkins will be available, too!

The new Valentine's Munchkins will reportedly be made from glazed chocolate donut holes coated in Valentine's-esque sprinkles. I'm craving them already!
