Halloween may have come and gone but Dunkin' is still doling out treats – through the end of the year.

The chain is giving members of its Dunkin' Rewards loyalty program a free classic donut with the purchase of any drink each Wednesday – starting today, Nov. 1 – through the month of December.

It's being called "Free Donut Wednesdays."

Dunkin' also kicked off its holiday menu with drinks such as the all-new Spiced Cookie Coffee – made with oat milk, brown sugar and vanilla flavor – Cookie Butter Cold Brew, the Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte, and Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte.

Holiday bakery treats include the Triple Chocolate Muffin and, beginning Nov. 29, Dunkin's classic chocolate, vanilla and strawberry frosted donuts get the annual Holiday Sprinkle treatment.

Another new menu item: loaded has browns, which are "topped with warm cheddar queso, featuring a hint of jalapeno, and finished with crispy, crumbled bacon on top," the food chain said in a press release.

You can also get a dozen or half dozen donuts in Dunkin’s new festive boxes starting today.

Dunkin' is ringing in its holiday menu and has festive boxes for orders of a half dozen and a dozen donuts. Beginning Nov. 29, Dunkin's classic chocolate, vanilla and strawberry frosted donuts get the annual Holiday Sprinkle treatment, too.
