Dunkin' Donuts Launches Limited-Time Pink Mitten Giveaway for Iced Coffee Fans
Dunkin' Donuts is rolling out a unique promotional offer to warm up its customers during the final stretch of winter. The popular coffee chain will be giving away a special pink mitten exclusively to purchasers of iced beverages this Friday, February 20th.
How to Get Your Free Dunkin' Mitten
The left-handed mitten, which features the iconic Dunkin' logo and an adjustable black strap, will be available starting at 10 a.m. local time. Customers can obtain one by purchasing any iced drink at participating Dunkin' locations, while supplies last. This giveaway is part of Dunkin's broader strategy to engage iced coffee enthusiasts during the colder months.
Expanding Winter Merchandise and Menu Innovations
This mitten promotion follows closely on the heels of Dunkin's recent launch of a limited-edition winter merchandise collection, available online at DunkinRunsOnMerch.com. The collection includes:
- A "First Run" Ski Suit priced at $150, available in bold pink or white with striped detailing
- Ski goggles from Xevo Optics, retailing for $290 with strap options in black, orange, or pink featuring the Dunkin' logo
- An illustrated "First Run of the Day" series by artist Paige Spearin, featuring ski slope scenes with hot coffee moments
The illustrated collection appears on various items including crewnecks, candles, shirts, coasters, hats, and cards, with prices ranging from $12 to $50.
Dunkin's Strategic Business Moves in 2026
Beyond merchandise and promotions, Dunkin' has been actively expanding its business offerings this year. In January 2026, the chain introduced protein drinks to its menu, directly competing with rival Starbucks who made a similar move months earlier.
Dunkin's Protein Milk provides 15 grams of protein per medium-sized beverage and is designed to offer a creamy texture without chalkiness. The launch was supported by a marketing campaign featuring rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who has her own signature drink called Megan's Mango Protein Refresher.
The protein drink lineup includes several varieties:
- Strawberry Protein Refresher
- Caramel Chocolate Iced Protein Latte
- Almond Iced Protein Matcha Latte
- Iced Protein Latte with Sugar-Free Vanilla
"We saw protein milk as a natural way to give our guests more flexibility in how they enjoy the Dunkin' menu throughout the day," explained Jill Nelson, Dunkin's Chief Marketing Officer, in a January statement.
This combination of promotional giveaways, merchandise expansion, and menu innovation demonstrates Dunkin's multifaceted approach to maintaining customer engagement and competing in the increasingly crowded coffee market.
