Dunkin’ apparently looked at Halloween and decided one creepy-cute donut mascot was not enough. The Spider Donut is back, and now it has a purple bat friend with its own drink. I have questions, but mostly I want the cup sleeve.
In an announcement scheduled for Wednesday, October 14, Dunkin’ is introducing Berry Battie, a bat-inspired character joining the returning Spidey D, the fan-favorite Spider Donut character. The new items build on Dunkin’s Halloween menu that debuted in September, so this is a new wave of Halloween treats and collectibles, not an entirely new fall menu.
Berry Battie gets a purple refresher
The Berry Battie Daydream Refresher is a purple drink finished with candy eyes, according to Dunkin’s advance announcement. It’s tied to the brand’s new Berry Battie character, who also gets a limited-edition cup accessory.
On Friday, October 16, you can get a free Dunkin’ Bat Cup Sleeve with an order of a Berry Battie Daydream Refresher in any size at participating Dunkin’ locations nationwide. The sleeve has plush purple wings that wrap around a cup. The offer is limited to one sleeve per order, while supplies last, so check with your local store before making a special trip.
The Spider Donut and Spidey D return
Dunkin’ says its Spider Donut is returning nationwide. The treat’s character, Spidey D, is also the inspiration for a new Halloween merchandise collection featuring sweaters, blankets, accessories, collectibles, and home décor.
Somehow the seasonal donut now has a whole merch universe. Honestly, that’s a pretty impressive career arc for a pastry.
There’s a glow-in-the-dark MUNCHKINS bucket
Dunkin’ is also introducing a glow-in-the-dark Halloween MUNCHKINS Bucket, along with additional Halloween bakery items. According to the brand, $2 from every Halloween MUNCHKINS Bucket sold will be donated to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation.
The bucket, cup sleeve, and merchandise are the pieces I’d watch closely if you collect seasonal fast-food releases. Exact inventory can vary by location, and the cup sleeve is tied to a specific giveaway date.
When does Dunkin’s Halloween launch happen?
The new announcement is public October 14, 2026, with the Bat Cup Sleeve giveaway set for October 16. For the earlier seasonal lineup, see our Dunkin’ Halloween drinks guide.
Details are based on advance information supplied by Dunkin’ PR. Check the brand or your local store for availability and offer terms.
