Positioned as a [dessert-inspired coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-creaminspired-frozen-coffees), the drink is made with real Oreo mint flavors and will be offered in addition to Milk Oreo Mint Chocolate Candy Bars along with [Oreo Mint Creme Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-cookie-peppermint-concrete). These will be made available in a single-serve size that won't be available in any stores outside of 7-Eleven until 2018. The 7-Eleven Oreo Mint Hot Chocolate is also being released in unison with the new Chocolate Cake Donut Made with Oreo, which is a chocolate donut topped with ample vanilla frosting and cookie crumble. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Seasonal Food Products:** Brands can capitalize on consumers' strong association of certain months with specific types of food products and release seasonal options. - **Dessert-inspired Coffee:** Creating coffee flavors that are inspired by desserts can attract consumers looking for unique and indulgent beverage options. - **Limited Edition Offerings:** Releasing limited edition products exclusively at specific retailers can create excitement and drive traffic to those stores. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Brands in the food and beverage industry can explore creating and promoting seasonal products with unique flavor profiles. - **Coffee and Hot Beverage:** Coffee and hot beverage establishments can introduce dessert-inspired coffee options to attract customers seeking new and indulgent flavors. - **Convenience Store:** Convenience stores can leverage limited edition offerings to increase foot traffic and sales by creating exclusive partnerships with popular brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blended Mint Chocolate Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-chocolate-oreo-frappe.md) - [Festive Convenience Store Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-coffee.md) - [Convenience Store Hot Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churroccino.md) - [Cookie-Themed QSR Cafe Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-hortons-seasonal-menu.md) - [Minty Frozen Cookie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-mint-frozen-treats.md) - [Minty Mocha Cappuccinos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppermint-mocha-cappuccino.md) - [Cookie-Infused Blended Cold Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-n-cold-brew-blast.md) - [Mint-Flavored Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-oreo.md) - [Ice Cream-Flavored Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-mint-chip.md)
