After weeks of rumors floating the internet, the Dunkin’ holiday menu for 2023 officially landed! The seasonal offerings include 6 items – some new, some old – and we've been obsessed to say the least. Joining the lineup is a boozy coffee drink crafted by none other than Martha Stewart: the easiest espresso martini recipe that you can make at home, and it's called the 'Dunkintini.'
The sipper (full recipe ahead) comes *just* in time for Dunkin's newly-launched martini shaker and martini cups to hit shelves – more on that below.
We've been enjoying the Dunkin' holiday menu with some seasonal sips and snacks ever since it dropped. If you’re *just* as enthused about peppermint mocha season as we are, read on for what exactly you can order from the Dunkin’ holiday menu. It won't be here forever, so find your fave drink below!
Recipe For The Martha Stewart + Dunkin' Espresso Martini
The Dunkintini, crafted in collaboration with Martha, is said to gain its unique flavoring from Dunkin' espresso which brings forth sweet caramel and chocolate. Here's how to make it like the queen does:
Ingredients:
- 1 ounce Dunkin’ Espresso
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce coffee liqueur
- Coffee beans, for garnish
Directions:
- Fill your Dunkin’ Holiday Martini Shaker with ice and combine Dunkin’ Espresso, vodka and coffee liqueur in shaker.
- Shake well until combined and chilled.
- Strain into chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a few coffee beans and savor the moment!
Tempted to try the Dunkintini? You can even shake it up in a Dunkin' cocktail shaker and serve it up in insulated martini glass? All four pieces will be available to shop through Dunkin's site starting December 1, but Dunkin' Rewards members get early access on November 30.
Drinks On The Dunkin' Holiday Menu For 2023
Cookie Butter Cold Brew
This returning iced coffee is crafted with Brown Sugar Cookie Syrup then topped with Cookie Butter Cold Foam and Cookie Butter Crumbles. We're obsessed with anything that involves cookies, so we'll be grabbing for this drink all season long.
Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte
Dunkin’s Peppermint Mocha-infused latte gets finished off with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and even some hot chocolate powder. Sweetness galore!
Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte
This Toasted White Chocolate latte is topped with whipped cream, a sweet caramel drizzle, and a nice dusting of cinnamon-sugar. We love that this pick landed on the Dunkin' holiday menu.
NEW! Spiced Cookie Coffee
With the Spiced Cookie Coffee, your average hot or iced coffee gets a sweet boost with Brown Sugar Cookie and Vanilla syrups plus a splash of oat milk. This one just screams seasonal!
Food Items On The Dunkin' Holiday Menu For 2023
NEW! Loaded Hash Browns
This hand-sized bowl of hash brown bites gets a warm drizzle of Texas queso (whatever that means – regardless, it sounds iconic) and bacon crumbles on top. It's unbelievably delicious for breakfast, dinner, and TBH, everything in between.
Triple Chocolate Muffin
This sugary snack boasts a chocolate muffin base made with a cocoa blend that’s filled with even more chocolate chips. Yep, we are drooling.
Holiday Sprinkle Donuts
Red and green snowflake-shaped sprinkles will join the Strawberry, Chocolate, and Vanilla Frosted donuts for the holiday season!

Famous foodie accounts @markie_devo and @snackolator are typically the first to spread the news about all things fast food, so we weren't surprised when they leaked the Dunkin’ holiday menu early.
In true foodie fashion, there seemed to be as much disappointment as there was excitement from Dunkin’ fans sounding off in their comments.
“Everyone sleeps on Gingerbread,” one person wrote, noticing the absence of the popular holiday flavor. “Like a Gingerbread donut with vanilla frosting would be bomb… and Gingerbread coffee or lattes are amazing.”
“We want gingerbread back,” another echoed, with a sad face emoticon accompanying their comment.
On the other hand, the new Loaded Hash Browns are getting the people going.
“These loaded hash browns though,” someone said.
“I'm not a big Dunkin’ coffee person but the loaded hash browns look pretty good,” another wrote.
