Halloween has yet to even happen, but Dunkin' is already moving on to the holiday season by debuting its new Holiday Cookie Signature Latte. At the same time, the brand will also be bringing back its fan-favorite Cookie Butter Cold Brew.
Perfect for pairing with a real holiday cookie (or donut, for that matter), the new Holiday Cookie Signature Latte packs a punch of holiday cheer. The drink itself combines Dunkin's rich espresso with whole milk blended with buttery cookie and toasted almond notes. The whole latte is then topped off with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel, and some sweet cookie butter crumbles.
Keeping with the cookie theme, the returning Cookie Butter Cold Brew combines Dunkin's ultra-smooth cold brew with notes of brown sugar and a topping of cookie butter cold foam and cookie butter crumbles.
