Each year, Dunkin' Donuts release holiday flavors. Usually there are some returning fan-favorites as well as some new ones. A cup of your favorite flavor and watching the snow fall outside your window really puts you in the holiday spirit. It's always a fun time when you go to Dunkin' and see that they have new flavors. I always try to try each flavor once throughout the season before they are gone. Here is a list of my favorite Dunkin' Donuts holiday flavors.
1. Peppermint Mocha. A classic holiday flavor and favorite for all coffee lovers. Peppermint Mocha is one of Dunkin's annual flavors and is not going anywhere anytime soon. The sweet taste of mocha mixed with the fierce peppermint makes it a holiday classic. Try it iced or hot, whichever you prefer.
2. Sugar Cookie. This one was my favorite holiday flavor in 2015. I have a sweet tooth and a coffee addiction, so this flavor was perfect for me. Dunkin' did a great job creating a flavor that actually tasted like a sugar cookie. Some peopled loved this flavor while others thought that it was disgusting.
3. Gingerbread. Couldn't make and decorate a gingerbread house? That's okay because Dunkin' had a gingerbread flavor. This holiday flavor was introduced in 2012 and made a reappearance in 2015. This one was very good and really put people into the holiday spirit.
4. Créme Brulée. This new holiday flavor is making its first appearance this holiday season. Out of all the holiday flavors for 2016, this one is by far my favorite. It's sweet, but not too sweet. It is also not a typical holiday flavor. Dunkin' brought something new to the table this season and it is amazing. Hopefully they bring it back next season.
5. Snickerdoodle Cookie. Last, but not least, Snickerdoodle Cookie. This flavor was released at the same time that sugar cookie was, so 2015 was a battle of the cookies. Unlike the sweet taste of sugar cookie, this flavor was sweet mixed with cinnamon.
All these flavors are amazing and really add to the holidays. Iced or hot, these flavors will win over your heart and become a favorite of yours too. The holidays would not be complete without holiday flavors from Dunkin' Donuts and other coffee companies (cough, Starbucks, cough). If you are not a fan of any of the holiday flavors, you can send an email to Dunkin' and request flavors. What are your favorites? Which ones are you hoping to return next season? I hope you have a happy and healthy holiday season, and that you get to try some of these holiday flavors!
