Seasonal Donut Brand Cookies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Dunkin' Holiday Shortbread Cookie is Arriving Now

— December 5, 2024 — Lifestyle
The Dunkin' holiday shortbread cookie is making its way to participating locations in celebration of National Cookie Day (December 4) to provide patrons with a new way to indulge their sweet tooth. The cookie comes as the brand's first-ever holiday cookie creation and looks just like its Strawberry Frosted Sprinkle donut, complete with a hole in the middle as a nod to the classic treats. The cookie is crafted with a shortbread dough before being topped with a sweet pink frosting and finished with rainbow sprinkles.

The Dunkin' holiday shortbread cookie is launching alongside the returning Holiday Sprinkle takeover that will see the brand's Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry donuts covered in a festive dose of sprinkles. The brand is also running a promotion for Dunkin' Rewards members that will offer them a complimentary donut with beverage purchase every Wednesday through December 25, 2024.
