Dunkin’s Spider Donut came back nationwide on October 14 with a new Berry Battie Daydream Refresher and a Halloween Munchkins bucket that glows in the dark for the first time. On October 16, a Berry Battie Refresher comes with a free plush Bat Cup Sleeve while supplies last.

Dunkin’s Halloween menu is part of my Fall and Halloween Fast Food 2026 guide.

The Spider Donut and Halloween Sprinkles

The Spider Donut is a purple-frosted donut with a Chocolate Glazed Munchkin at its center, chocolate icing legs, and vanilla-flavored icing eyes, on the menu nationwide for a limited time. Dunkin first sold it in 2017 with orange icing and switched to purple in 2024, a few weeks before the donut showed up in Dunkin’s social media posts as a character, Spidey D. Last year the Spider Donut came back on October 15.

Dunkin’s frosted donuts also trade their usual sprinkles for purple, chocolate, and white ones for Halloween, and Chocolate Glazed Munchkins get the same mix. Last year’s Halloween sprinkles were chocolate and orange.

Berry Battie Daydream Refresher and the Free Bat Cup Sleeve on October 16

The Berry Battie Daydream Refresher is a new purple drink of berry clementine and blueberry flavors with oatmilk, topped with Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam and candy eyes. Berry Battie is Dunkin’s new bat character, and the drink is on the menu nationwide for a limited time. It has the same berry clementine, blueberry, oatmilk, and purple foam as the Dark Spell Daydream Refresher from Dunkin’s September 30 menu, plus the candy eyes.

On October 16, a Berry Battie Daydream Refresher of any size comes with a free limited-edition Bat Cup Sleeve, which has plush purple wings that wrap around a Dunkin’ cup. It’s one sleeve per order at participating restaurants, while supplies last. October 16 is also a 3X points day on food for Dunkin Rewards members.

The Glow-in-the-Dark Halloween Munchkins Bucket

The Halloween Munchkins bucket is back in an all-new purple design with Dunkin’ characters in costume, and for the first time it glows in the dark. It comes filled with a random assortment of 50 Munchkins, including new sprinkle-covered Halloween Munchkins, at participating restaurants from October 14. Dunkin will donate $2 from every bucket sold to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, which helps kids battling hunger or illness. Dunkin’s announcement gives no price for the bucket.

Last year’s Halloween Munchkins bucket was black with a purple lid modeled on the Spider Donut, and it also came filled with 50 Munchkins. Tim Hortons has a Halloween bucket of Timbits this year too, and my Halloween buckets guide has the trick-or-treat pails at Home Depot, Petco, and Lowe’s. The Raising Cane’s Halloween Cup came out on October 14 too, at $1.49 with any combo or 32-ounce drink. McDonald’s Boo Buckets are back on October 20 as five Disney villains.

Spidey D Merch: Keychain, Mystery Boo Box, and the Spidey D Collection

At participating Dunkin restaurants nationwide, the Spider Donut Keychain is $9.99 and the Mystery Boo Box is $8.99, with one of four collectibles inside: a Spider Donut Squish, a pin set, an acrylic keychain, or a bandana.

The September 30 Halloween Drinks: Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam and Green Apple Dunkin’ Zero

Dunkin’s first Halloween menu came out nationwide on September 30 with 12 drinks built on two new ingredients, Green Apple Dunkin’ Zero and Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam. Three of them also use tiramisu flavor, which Dunkin added in August with its fall tiramisu collection.

Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam

Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam is a purple version of Dunkin’s Marshmallow Cold Foam, and it tops these drinks:

  • Terror-misu Cloud Latte: an iced latte with espresso and tiramisu flavor, layered with the purple foam and topped with hot chocolate powder.
  • Franki Matcha: sweetened matcha with whole milk and vanilla, Dunkin’s Frankenstein drink.
  • Dark Spell Daydream Refresher: berry clementine and blueberry with oatmilk.
  • Sour Apple Energy: Green Apple Dunkin’ Zero with sour lemonade.
  • Creepy Crawler Coffee Chiller: a frozen coffee with tiramisu flavor, drizzled with the purple foam and topped with whipped cream and mocha drizzle.

Sour Apple Energy is the first Dunkin’ Zero drink you can get with cold foam.

Green Apple Dunkin’ Zero

Dunkin’ Zero is Dunkin’s zero-sugar energy drink, and the new green apple version mixes tart apple flavor with sparkling water. It comes four ways:

  • Green Apple Dunkin’ Zero, the base drink.
  • Midnight Apple Dunkin’ Zero, with blackberry.
  • Candy Kiss Dunkin’ Zero, with mango.
  • Orchard Twist Dunkin’ Zero, with peach.

  • Werewolf Punch Refresher: blackberry, clementine, mango, and pineapple with lemonade.
  • Nutty Nightmare Iced Coffee: iced coffee and cream with tiramisu and toasted almond.

How Long Is Dunkin’s Halloween Menu Available?

Dunkin sells its Halloween menu for a limited time at participating restaurants, while supplies last, and neither of its two Halloween announcements gives an end date. The September 30 release said “a familiar eight-legged friend may return” on Dunkin’s Instagram, two weeks before the Spider Donut did. “But this is only the beginning. Guests can expect more surprises, treats and Halloween moments throughout October,” said Anthony Epter, Dunkin’s vice president of menu innovation, in that release.

Spidey D’s Horror House in Salem, Massachusetts

Spidey D’s Horror House is the Dunkin at 152 Washington St. in Salem, Massachusetts, decorated for the Spider Donut’s character, Spidey D. It opened on October 8 at 9 a.m., and Dunkin says it will be there “for a limited time throughout October.”

  • Inside: Spidey D decorations, Dunkin Halloween merchandise, and a Zoltar machine that reads fortunes, which Dunkin describes as “Spidey D-possessed.”
  • Menu: the full Dunkin menu, including the Halloween drinks.
  • Cost: no ticket or reservation is needed, and the restaurant keeps its normal hours.

In early October 2025, the same restaurant was covered in purple webs and misspelled graffiti for the character.

Dunkin’s 2026 Fall Menu

Before Halloween, Dunkin rolled out its 2026 fall menu nationwide on August 19.

Pumpkin. The Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte returned hot or iced, with pumpkin, vanilla, and fall spices under whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon sugar. It was joined by the Pumpkin Cloud Dunkalatte, the new Pumpkin Pie Coffee Chiller, the Pumpkin Patch Cloud Latte, and the Nutty Pumpkin Protein Latte, which has 17 grams of protein in a medium. The Pumpkin Donut, Pumpkin Munchkins, and Pumpkin Muffin came back too.

Tiramisu. The fall menu added four tiramisu drinks: the Tiramisu Cloud Latte, the Tiramisu Shakin’ Espresso, the Tiramisu Marshmallow Matcha, and the Tiramisu Protein Latte. Tiramisu swirl can be added to any coffee, Cold Brew, or espresso drink.

The Alix Earle meal. The Earle-Y Riser Meal is creator Alix Earle’s order: a Shakin’ Espresso with sugar-free vanilla and almondmilk, a Sausage, Egg and Cheese Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap, and three Munchkins. It launched with her Netflix series, Earle Meets World.

Refreshers and savory. The Berry Clementine Refresher and the Berry Daydream Refresher joined the drinks, and the Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap, Chipotle Loaded Hash Browns, and Maple Sugar Bacon came back.
