CANTON, Mass., Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As thoughts
turn to the holiday season, Dunkin' Donuts today offered a peek at
its presents for donut and coffee lovers, unwrapping its 2017
holiday lineup that will arrive at its restaurants by November 20. To ring in the holidays, Dunkin'
Donuts will introduce two fun new donuts featuring the tastes of
traditional seasonal cookies, the Frosted Sugar Cookie Donut
and Gingerbread Cookie Donut, along with the Snowflake
Sprinkle Donut and MUNCHKINS® donut hole treats. Dunkin' Donuts
also welcomes the return of two joyful coffee choices,
Peppermint Mocha and Brown Sugar Cinnamon flavored
coffee beverages.
Evoking warm memories of beloved baking favorites, Dunkin'
Donuts' new Frosted Sugar Cookie Donut features a frosted donut
with cookie dough flavored filling, topped with crumbled frosted
sugar cookies. The new Gingerbread Cookie Donut is a caramel
frosted donut sprinkled with gingerbread cookie topping. Dunkin'
Donuts is also serving the Snowflake Sprinkle Donut, a frosted
donut with red icing and special snowflake sprinkles, and Snowflake
Sprinkle MUNCHKINS, featuring the brand's chocolate glazed
MUNCHKINS donut hole treats rolled in snowflake sprinkles. All will
be available by November 20 through
the end of the holiday season at participating Dunkin' Donuts
restaurants.
For classic coffee flavors to keep people energized throughout
the bustle of the busy holiday season, Dunkin' Donuts will bring
back Peppermint Mocha, combining cool peppermint flavor with rich
chocolate, and Brown Sugar Cinnamon, bringing together the sweet
taste of sugar and the flavor of cinnamon. Both flavors will be
available in Dunkin' Donuts' hot or iced coffees, lattes,
macchiatos and Frozen Dunkin' Coffee by November 20 as well.
Along with the seasonal coffee flavors and new donuts, Dunkin'
Donuts will bring guests another tradition: special cups and
packaging with a festive design and the simple word, "Joy." For
many years, Dunkin' Donuts has served coffee in cups featuring the
word "Joy" to convey the happiness and spirit of the season. This
year's design incorporates seasonal graphic icons like snowflakes,
peppermints, holly leaves and holiday trees to stir up the warm,
nostalgic feelings associated with this special time of year.
In addition to the holiday coffees, donuts and packaging
revealed today, the brand will announce special holiday promotions
later this month. These will include Dunkin' Donuts merchandise,
gift ideas and value offers available throughout the holiday
season.
This week, Dunkin' Donuts is all about thanking those who serve,
as on Veterans Day, November 11, anyone who shows a military ID at
participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants nationwide will be offered
a free donut of their choice with no purchase necessary, while
supplies last, limit one per customer. Dunkin' Donuts is also
making a $10,000 donation
to Homes For Our Troops and will provide a year's worth of
Dunkin' Donuts K-Cup® pods along with a new Keurig® Brewing System
to up to 100 Veterans who have been or will be provided new
specially adapted custom homes by Homes For Our Troops. Homes For
Our Troops is a privately funded nonprofit organization that builds
and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely
injured post-9/11 Veterans.
Guests can show their appreciation with a unique
military-inspired virtual Dunkin' Donuts gift card that can be
purchased and sent exclusively through the Dunkin' Mobile App®. The
gift card design was created just for the important holiday, by
Dunkin' Brands employee and veteran Paul
Charboneau, who served as a forward observer in the Vermont
Army National Guard, and will be available on November 9.
