With the weather getting cooler and [Halloween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-dole-whip) just around the corner, [Dunkin'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-cup-macchiato) is brewing up some tasty new offerings for the spooky season, including the striking new Potion Macchiato.

Set to debut on October 16, 2024, Dunkin's new Halloween lineup includes a brand-new drink and plenty of sweet treats. The star of the menu is the new Potion Macchiato drink, which is available hot or iced and features a unique blend of espresso swirled with marshmallow and ube flavors, along with a purple-colored macchiato mix. The result is a two-toned purple and black drink that truly does look like a witch's potion.

Alongside the new drink, Dunkin' will also be serving up the Halloween Sprinkle Takeover donut, the Spider Donut, and the 50-piece Halloween Munchkin [Bucket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-rambler-beverage-bucket).
