Love is brewing over at Starbucks and Dunkin’. Don’t miss out on the swoon-worthy merch, too!
This season of love, we’ve found the perfect way to say “I love you” in every sip and bite! That’s because Starbucks and Dunkin’ finally released their Valentine’s Day menu. From velvety lattes and heart-shaped donuts to adorable crewnecks and tumblers, these Valentine’s Day goodies will add a little extra sweetness to the loved-filled holiday.
Dunkin’
Dunkin’ is certainly not letting our feelings down this Valentine’s Day. The iconic brand is set to release its Valentine’s Day menu today, January 29, 2025. That’s right, you can start spreading the love as early as now! Before you run to the nearest Dunkin’ store, let’s set some expectations. As shared by foodie blogger @markie_devo, here are the Dunkin’ Valentine’s Day treats dropping nationwide:
- Brownie Batter Donut – This is a returning fan-favorite now available at Dunkin’s Valentine’s Day menu. The sweet treat is loaded with brownie batter-flavored buttercream and then topped with chocolate icing and festive sprinkles.
- Cupid’s Cake Donut – Another item that’s coming back is this strawberry-flavored treat. It has the classic Bavarian Kreme inside, a strawberry- flavored icing, and some sprinkles on top, too.
- V-Day Munchkins – Munchkins are getting a makeover this season of love, now with pink, red, and white heart sprinkles.
- V-Day Classic Sprinkle Donuts – And as if V-day munchkins aren’t enough, Dunkin’s Valentine’s day menu also features classic donut hole treats with Valentine’s Day sprinkles instead of regular ones.
But that’s not all because Dunkin’ is also blessing us with a new lineup of Valentine’s Day merchandise. The brand has partnered with @coreypaige_designs, a New York-based artist and muralist, to create a limited-edition Valentine’s Day capsule collection. The lineup includes:
- Hat – $25
- Crew socks – $16
- Two crewnecks – $45
- Heart-shaped tote – $25
The merch also drops today, January 29 at 9 AM E.T. at dunkingear.com. All items are available until supplies last, and each one comes with a sticker pack! How cool is that? Now, let’s talk about drinkware, because Dunkin’ offers that, too. The brand is surprising fans with a new line of Pink and Purple Heart Ombre Tumblers, available for a limited-time only. Each tumbler retails at $14.99, and you can get them at participating Dunkin’ locations.
As for Dunkin’s Valentine’s Day menu of sweet treats, expect them to be around through February 18, 2025.
Starbucks
Ready to fall in love with Starbucks all over again? I know, we all can’t wait for the Spring menu, but it makes sense to dig into Starbucks Valentine’s Day menu first! The seasonal menu will feature two new refreshers, app-exclusive beverages, and a new cake pop for your sweet tooth. Let’s take a closer look at these Valentine’s Day treats:
- Blackberry Sage Refreshers (NEW) – You have two options for these. Either get sagey with lemonade or with coconutmilk. These refreshers feature notes of sage and sweet blackberries, shaken with water, ice, and blackberry inclusions.
- Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Creme Frappuccino (app-exclusive) – Here’s a pretty pink drink that’s better than Strawberry Creme Frappuccino. This app-exclusive beverage is Starbucks’ take on the classic V-day treat, strawberry covered in chocolate.
- Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew (app-exclusive) – Grab this drink if you’re looking for something rich and bold, but with a hint of chocolate. The hazelnut flavor is also prominent here, balancing out the drink’s bitter and sweet notes.
- Valentine Cake Pop (NEW) – Of course, Starbucks’ Valentine’s Day menu wouldn’t be complete without an adorable treat. This new cake pop is made with vanilla cake and buttercream, covered in a lovely red icing.
Per @markie_devo, the Starbucks Valentine’s Day menu, specifically the drinks, will be available starting February 4, 2025. The Valentine cake pop can now be ordered at participating locations.
Early this January, Starbucks also dropped its limited-time collection of cold cups and tumblers that feature pixelated heart patterns, flower designs, and bright red and pink hues. During the launch, Starbucks encouraged guests to bring their personal cup when they order in cafe, to get a $0.10 discount on their beverage. Meanwhile, Starbucks rewards members can receive 25 Bonus Stars.

More Valentine’s Day Treats to Grab
In addition to Dunkin’ and Starbucks Valentine’s Day menu, there are other treats worthy of our love. Fast food chains like Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, and Dairy Queen are also joining the celebration, as they lovingly craft new items that will sweeten your day.
- Chick-fil-A’s Heart-Shaped Trays – What’s better than chocolate? Fudge brownies, 12 pieces! Yup, you can get exactly that over at Chick-fil-A. The chain is offering a heart-shaped tray filled with brownies made with sweet, semi-rich chocolate. Chick-fil-A also has other options for the trays including 6 Chocolate Chunk Cookies, 10-count Chick-n-Minis, and 30-count nuggets.
- McDonald’s Strawberry & Creme Pie – McDonald’s brought back a fan-favorite dessert pie, featuring vanilla-flavored creme and strawberry baked side by side in a flaky crust. This is a great choice if you want to take a break from the usual apple pie or try the classic hack of combining your dessert pie with sundae!
- Dairy Queen’s Red Velvet Cake Blizzard – We’re also smitten by the return of Dairy Queen’s Red Velvet Cake Blizzard. This flavor is the brand’s blizzard of the month for February, making it a timely dessert to celebrate the season of love. This Red Velvet Cake Blizzard transforms into an ice cream cake when you get the Cupid Cake, a mighty fine choice for a Galentine’s Day or any intimate celebration.

From The Club
I guess there’s no more waiting for the Valentine’s Day menu of Dunkin’ as this will drop today. I just took a mental note of buying the Cupid Cake donut and those adorable munchkins. I also love the crewnecks, but at the moment, I just need one, lol! Anyway, we have few more days left before Starbucks‘ Valentine’s Day menu arrives, so I’m gonna have a moment with my cortado first and maybe some of that Valentine Cake Pop!
