Dunkin Donuts is one of the most popular fast food places in America. They create special menus year-round and starting November 2nd through December 27th they have a holiday menu. We tried six different items from their festive menu. These included: the Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte, Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte, Cookie Butter Cold Brew, Holiday Blend Coffee, Cranberry Orange Muffin, and the Cookie Butter Donut. When we rated these items we considered flavor, festiveness, and annual favorites.
The first drink we tried was the iced Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte with sugar. We felt like this drink lacked the white chocolate flavor and had more of a regular iced coffee taste. It also had a hint of cinnamon and an overall rich flavor. We really enjoyed the cinnamon topping on the whipped cream. We felt this added a touch of the holiday theme and flavor. Overall we gave this drink 6.5/10 stars.
Our second drink was an iced Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte with sugar. There was a good balance between the mocha and peppermint flavors. We thought this drink was really good and the most festive drink because of the peppermint flavor. This drink is a staple at Dunkin during the holidays and comes back every year because of its popularity. Overall we gave this one 9/10 stars.
The iced Cookie Butter Cold Brew with cream and sugar is a new addition to the holiday menu at Dunkin. It had a rich flavor of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and baked cookies. It was topped with Cookie Butter Cold Foam and cookie crumbles. We really enjoyed this drink, rating it an overall 9.7/10. with a hope that it will return next year
The final drink we tried was the Holiday Blend Coffee with cream and sugar. Personally, we don't like hot coffee, but still gave it a try. The flavor was bitter with notes of molasses, which we didn't enjoy. However, we think this drink would be good for people who like hot coffee. While some prefer sugary, flavored coffees, others prefer a more traditional coffee, and this drink may be more to their liking. Overall, we rated this drink 3/10.
The holiday desserts at Dunkin are delicious and complement many of the holiday drinks. We started off with the Cranberry Orange Muffin topped with sugar crystals. The flavor was a hint of cranberry and very citrusy. Overall, we gave it a rating of 7/10.
The Cookie Butter Donut’s filling was very sweet. The icing had a butter cookie taste and there were crumbled cookies sprinkled on top. Overall, we thought the Cranberry Orange Muffin was better and rated the Cookie Butter Donut, 6.5/10
Our favorite drinks that we recommend are the Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte and the Cookie Butter Cold Brew. We felt these were the best-tasting items and were best fitting for the holiday theme. Overall all the drinks tasted really good and there's definitely something for everyone! Dunkin Donuts’ fans will not be disappointed with the holiday menu.
