For those who want to treat their sweetheart to something sugary sweet, [Dunkin' Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dunkin-holiday-menu) has announced a new Valentine's Day menu for 2018. Just as the brand did last Halloween, store menus will receive a total makeover for the upcoming holiday.

Starting at the end of January, Dunkin' Donut's stores will offer a special Valentine's Day menu. The menu will feature three new donut flavors, including a Bavarian creme donut called [Cupid's Choice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-valentines-day-range). Other classic flavors will also receive new V-Day names such as Boston Dream and Pretty in Pink. Many of these classics have also been molded into the shape of a heart and dressed up with pink, red, and white frosting, drizzles, and sprinkles.
