Dunkin' Donuts Coffee Brings the Holidays Home

It's funny; I'm mostly a tea drinker myself, but even I can appreciate the aroma of fine, rich coffee. Tea just doesn't have that same inviting scent to draw you in like good coffee does. You just find yourself wanting to wrap your hands around a warm mug and snuggle up under the blankets during the cool winter months. It's the perfect drink for the holiday season.

And Dunkin' Donuts is well aware of just how much you all need your caffeine fix!

So, in addition to their existing coffee flavors (Hazelnut, Cinnamon Spice and French Vanilla), they've introduced three seasonal coffee varieties, available for a limited time only, and perfect for gift-giving. And you don't even have to venture out far to find them; they're available now at
at your local grocery store!

So, the Dunkin' Donuts' seasonal coffees come in three varieties: Vanilla Nut, Pumpkin Spice, and Mocha Mint. I served them recently to a test panel consisting of my husband (The Engineer), his brother and his Dad, all coffee drinkers.

Now, I need to pause here for an important Message for the Holidays!

Pro tip: The Engineer suggests that if you REALLY want a happy holiday? Turn your Dunkin' Donuts Vanilla Nut Coffee into an Irish coffe with some Bailey's Irish Creme. Oh, yeah. ;)

So, the Vanilla Nut was a big hit for both the Engineer and his bro. And it smelled *heavenly*!

And Dad chose to take the entire pack of Pumpkin Spice coffee *home with him*, which just goes to show Dunkin' Donuts is onto a good thing here.  (We didn't try the Mocha Mint yet, but that's just because we are saving it for the relatives in Tampa.)

Viv's Take: Coffee lovers will enjoy these seasonal offerings from Dunkin' Donuts during the cool Winter months. And they also make great (and affordable) holiday gifts!




Which reminds me: I also want to take a moment to acknowledge that, although you can purchase the Dunkin' Donuts seasonal coffee  flavors at your local grocery, you might want to head down to Dunkin' Donuts anyway because 1) Hey, Donuts; and 2) Many Dunkin' Donuts are running a promotion now where they will donate a pound of coffee to our troops every time you buy two pounds. And I think this kind of gesture is what the holidays are all about.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Smuckers and received necessary products to facilitate my review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.
