THE extended winter menu offerings at Dunkin’ have been leaked by an eager customer ahead of the announcement date.
While the food and drink options are exciting for some, others have criticized them as too similar to competitors like Starbucks.

Most of Dunkin’s holiday offerings were already introduced at the beginning of November.
Included were an all-new Holiday Cookie Signature Latte, Hazelnut Bark Coffee, Cookie Butter Cold Brew, Cookie Butter Donut, Hash Brown Brisket Scramble Bowl, and Almond Croissant, among others.
It also brought back Free Donut Wednesdays.
Now, the winter menu, which starts on December 31, has been sneakily unveiled by a customer with the inside scoop.
PART ONE
“Oooooh, Dunkin stepping up their game,” they wrote in a post on Facebook with a snapshot of a form showcasing the options.
On the form, there were drinks like the Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso, Lava Cake Signature Latte, Lava Cake Coffee, Brown Sugar Oat Iced Matcha Latte, and Raspberry Lava Cake Coffee.
For food, customers can expect to see the Whoopie Pie Specialty Donut, Iced Lemon Loaf Cake, and $5 Meal Deal offer with a hot or iced coffee and any two Wake-Up Wraps.
Interested customers must act fast, too, as the form cited an end date for the winter offerings of February 4.
PART TWO
If that wasn’t tempting enough, the second half of the winter menu at Dunkin’ would seemingly launch on January 29, 2025, crossing over with the first half slightly.
Part two includes strictly donuts, with the Cupid’s Choice Specialty Donut, Brownie Batter Specialty Donut, and Valentine’s Sprinkle Munchkins, per the form.
All yeast shells for the donuts will also be heart-shaped starting January 29, with Valentine’s Day-themed sprinkles as well.
The second half of the winter menu will be gone on February 18.
That means Dunkin’ customers have about a month and a half to take advantage of all the winter offerings before they’re gone.
Dunkin’ has yet to officially confirm the winter menu, but some fans are already critiquing it as having some items too similar to Starbucks.
Rumored Dunkin’ Winter Menu
Dunkin’s winter menu has seemingly been leaked by fans online. It will include the following offerings:
- December 31, 2024, to February 4, 2025
- Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso
- Lava Cake Signature Latte
- Lava Cake Coffee
- Whoopie Pie Specialty Donut

- January 29, 2025, to February 18, 2025

“They be copying Starbucks with that shaken espresso,” someone commented on the Facebook post.
Starbucks does offer an Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, per its website.
WAITING GAME
Still, many who saw the leak cried out in joy for the selections.
“I want the dunkalatte!!!!” someone exclaimed.
“Can’t wait for brownie batter donuts they are my favorite,” another wrote.
“I will be doing that $5 meal deal,” a third added.
Some who saw the leaked offerings from the popular food insider account Snackolator also recently claimed Dunkin’s winter menu was “looking better” than Starbucks, despite alleged similarities.
Dunkin’ even caught some backlash earlier this year for its “unacceptable” refund policy, leading a customer to boycott the chain for good.
