Dunkin' is getting even spookier as Halloween creeps closer.
On Wednesday, Oct. 14, Dunkin will bring back fan-favorites Spider Donut (a.k.a. Spidey D) and the Halloween Munchkin buckets. The coffee chain will also debut its latest character and treat: the Berry Battie Daydream Refresher.
The treats will be available for a limited time and pricing will vary by location, Dunkin' said. They join other Halloween sips and treats that were first made available in September.
Here's what to know about the Halloween menu items and other offerings fans can take advantage of.
What is Spidey D?
The Spider Donut, or Spidey D, is a Chocolate-Glazed Munchkin Donut Hole Treat that sits at the center
of a doughnut topped with purple frosting. Chocolate icing makes up the spider's legs, while white icing makes up the eyes.
It first went viral years ago, when Dunkin' began making posts starring the doughnut.
"She's ghostin' you, but she's goblin' me," stated one post on Instagram from 2025, which featured a photo of the spider doughnut.
A graphic showing the silhouette of the viral doughnut was posted on Dunkin's Instagram page on Tuesday, Oct. 13, the day before the doughnut returned to stores.
"The D is coming," the post stated.
And the comment section did not disapppoint.
One user wrote, "The hero we all need 🕷️🕸️". Others expressed that they have been waiting on this to come. One user stating, "God I’ve been waiting for this ALL YEAR " Another commenter said, "It’s about time. It’s only half way through October at this point. We need him for the full month of October. Actually we need him all year!"
"MY LOVE I WILL WRITE SWEET SONNETS TO YOUR SPIDEYNESS," wrote romance author K. Iwancio.
Big brands and companies also got in on the fun in the comment section. "i'd know that silhouette anywhere", Walmart said while shoe brand HeyDude said, "if this isn’t spidey d all our trust in you will be gone." NYX Comestics also chimed in to clarify, "d as in . . . . donut".
Introducing the Berry Battie
In addition to Spidey D, Dunkin' will also introduce Berry Battie, debuting with the Berry Battie Daydream Refresher, a purple drink that combines berry, clementine and blueberry flavors with oat milk. The drink is topped with Dunkin's Halloween Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam and will only be available for a limited time.
