This fall season, get ready for a new coffee-milk mashup from Dunkin’. It’s so good even Kristen Wiig is amazed!
Latte is one of the most loved beverages nationwide and we know why. It offers the perfect balance of espresso and milk. It’s creamy and strong, but an overall gentle drink for a caffeine boost. It’s also considered a versatile drink, offering many ways for customization. In fact, the world of latte drinkers just got bigger with Dunkin’s newest latte drink. To promote it to wider audience, the brand partnered with actress and comedian Kristen Wiig, revealing the fun side of this new ultra-smooth drink.
Dunkin’ just launched its newest beverage called the Dunkalatte, which features rich espresso combined with coffee milk. The coffee milk takes inspiration from the official beverage of Rhode Island and is made with whole milk and coffee extracts. The result? A drink with a texture of melty milkshake but tastes like a latte. In Dunkin’s new ad campaign, Kristen Wiig also showed how irresistible the Dunkalatte is.
In the witty ad, Kristen pitched herself as the Dunkalatte’s official spokesperson. She also portrayed other funny characters including the “Drink Engineer” and the “Chief Beverage Officer.” Each character captures why the Dunkalatte is crave-worthy. The ad also features “the source” of the latte’s secret ingredient, the Coffee Milk Cow, leaving the viewers entertained. According to Dunkin’s Chief Marketing Officer, Jill McVicar Nelson, they wanted to make the new drink as “Dunkin” as possible, which meant fun and approachable. Having Kristen Wiig as a partner is perfect to keep the vision intact.
According to Dunkin’, the Dunkalatte is part of the brand’s fall menu. It was rumored that the beverage lineup for the season will also include the Almond Spice and Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte. It seems that the latter already has a worthy rival with the comeback of McDonald’s Pumpkin Spice Latte last August.
To celebrate Dunkalatte’s launch, Dunkin’ also released a merch collection inspired by the captivating hue of Dunkalatte. The collection is available for a limited time only. Fans can visit the ShopDunkin.com and check out the following items:
- Dunkalatte Beanie – $24
- Dunkalatte Hoodie – $48
- Dunkalatte Matching Sweatpants – $48
- Coffee Milk Cow (Plush Toy) – $22

Dunkin’ is back at it again with new coffee inventions. I must say that the Dunkalatte is craveable with its overall look and the use of coffee milk. I can’t wait to experience its melty milkshake texture! Overall, the Dunkalatte has a fun vibe and Kristen Wiig really is the perfect face for this new drink.
