Dunkin’s Pink Velvet Macchiato Is Coming Back Sooner Than You Think
Dunkin' just wants us all to feel loved.
A beloved Dunkin' favorite from Valentine's Days of the past is soon making a comeback, even before you've had the chance to take down your holiday decorations. Dunkin's sweet Pink Velvet Macchiato returns to menus on Dec. 27 after a two-year hiatus (cue swooning in the chain's Instagram comment section, naturally).
The rosy-hued coffee is designed to taste like a slice of red velvet cake — rich and decadent cocoa and just a hint of cream cheese. Available hot or iced, the seasonal drink is set to stick around on menus through the end of February.
"Responding to a flood of DMs, fan mail, petitions, and heartfelt pleas, Dunkin' is thrilled to bring back the Pink Velvet Macchiato," the company shared in a recent statement.

Dunkin' first unveiled this sweet sip for Valentine's Day 2020, after the beverage development team spent many hours (and quite a few cupcakes) in search of pinning down the exact qualities of this iconic treat.
"Eating [red velvet] cake helped the team deconstruct the flavors and identify the different nuances — like the smooth, tanginess of the cream cheese frosting and sweetness of the cocoa," the brand shared in a 2021 statement. "They then started putting the pieces of the flavor puzzle together."
The pink coffee arrives alongside several other holiday-appropriate offerings, including the new White Hazelnut Bark coffee. The flavor swirl promises to invoke memories of tasty seasonal treats and the fan-favorite Toasted White Chocolate Swirl. Notes of white chocolate and warm hazelnuts round out this sweet seasonal sip.

You can also soon order the Sweet Pepper Bacon Breakfast sandwich, Pancake Wake Up Wrap, and Frosty Red Velvet Donut starting on Dec. 27. To fully satisfy your sweet tooth, Dunkin' is also dropping several new donuts at the end of January, including Brownie Batter, Cupid's Choice, and other heart-shaped varieties.
If you're still crushing on the chain's winter menu deals, though, you can snag a free doughnut with any drink purchase every Wednesday through Dec. 27. Even better? Dunkin' Rewards members can also grab a $2 iced coffee with any purchase in the new year.
