Dunkin has scheduled the start of its US holiday menu for November 4, bringing ten seasonal drinks and new nutcracker-inspired packaging to participating restaurants.

The rollout, announced in the company’s October 28 holiday update, centres on two returning flavours: cookie butter and toasted white chocolate. The November 4 availability date is the new milestone; the menu announcement itself was made last week.

Six drinks form the cookie-butter range, covering coffee, hot chocolate, matcha and chai. The four toasted-white-chocolate options include lattes, an almond espresso drink and raspberry matcha.

A character called the Donutcracker, based on a holiday nutcracker, will appear on cups and doughnut boxes. It is part of the same seasonal release rather than a separate permanent menu.

The menu and packaging are offered for a limited period, while supplies last. Dunkin has not specified a single nationwide price list or a firm closing date in this announcement, so customers should check their chosen restaurant before ordering.

The announcement concerns participating US locations. It does not establish availability at Dunkin outlets in India.
