Dunkin’s Halloween 2026 Menu Includes A New Creature Character

Those who prioritize treats over tricks when Halloween rolls around know that there’s usually no shortage of seasonal goodies to go around this time of year. Many brands go out of their way to put a haunted spin on their beverages and bites, and one of these is Dunkin’, which unveiled its spooky season offerings for this year on Oct. 14. 

First and foremost, if Dunkin’s cryptic posts featuring spiders — not to mention its profile picture change — didn’t give it away, rest assured that the revered Spider Specialty Donut is back! The purple-frosted donut, topped with a Munchkin and decorated to look like a spider, won the hearts of social media users in 2024, and fans are extremely ready for its return in 2026. 

“Made a missing persons report for SPIDEY last night 😭😭😭” one Instagram user commented on the brand’s Oct. 9 post teasing Spidey D’s return. Another individual user commented, “WHERES THE BADDEST ALIVE AKA SPIDEY ATTT???”

The spider, affectionately referred to as “Spidey D,” also serves as the muse for a merchandise set releasing on the same day. Some pieces from the merchandise lineup, including keychains and “Boo Boxes” with mystery collectibles, will be available to in-store shoppers. Other items, such as sweaters, shirts, hats, sherpas, blankets, vases, wall hangings, and even a plush purse, will be available online at DunkinRunsonMerch.com. 

Spidey D will also be joined by a new Halloween headliner, Berry Battie, a bat-themed topper made from Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam and candy eyes that will decorate the Berry Daydream Refresher, a berry clementine and blueberry-flavored refresher also debuting that day. On Friday, Oct. 16, a purchase of a Berry Battie Daydream Refresher will also come with a free, limited-edition bat cup sleeve while supplies last. 

Also returning this year is Dunkin’s Halloween Munchkin Bucket, though it comes with some new additions: a revamped monochromatic design that will also glow in the dark. And while a purchase of the bucket brings you a treat in the form of 50 Munchkins, you’ll also be passing the sweetness on; $2 from each Munchkin bucket purchase will go toward the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, a non-profit that supports children affected by hunger and illness. 

The Halloween menu will also include chocolate-frosted Munchkins and frosted donuts with purple frosting, as well as purple, brown, and white ghost-shaped sprinkles to carry on the Halloween spirit. 

If you’re an avid Halloween trick-or-treater, be sure to grab these items from their lineup before they head out for the season.
