The Dunkin' Fourth of July Menu Marks America's 250th

The Dunkin' Fourth of July menu has been officially debuted as a series of foods, drinks and merch that all plays on the excitement surrounding the US Semiquincentennial.

The menu starts off with a series of chromatic drinks that range from refreshing to indulgent including such options as the Starlight Lemonade, Freeze Pop Limeade, OREO® & PB Coffee Chiller and more. The drinks are debuting alongside the Eagle Cup; a limited-edition collectible cup that will offer a complimentary medium beverage with purchase. The food menu puts the focus on the Rocket Pop Donut, Stars & Stripes Donut and the Stars & Stripes Munchkins, while the brand will also be offering a range of summer-ready merch styles.

The Dunkin' Fourth of July menu is available now with the Eagle Cup and merch arriving June 29 and July 1, 2026, respectively, in the lead-up to Independence Day and America's 250th.
