The whole thing is then tipped with green fondant and festive nonpareil sprinkles to complete the Christmas tree look. To accompany the tree-shaped donut, Tim Hortons is also serving up three holiday drinks. For coffee lovers, there's the returning Peppermint Mocha Iced Capp and the Peppermint Mocha Latte. There's also a Peppermint Hot Chocolate that is caffeine-free.
