Dunkin’ started serving a new summer lineup on June 3, 2026, and it comes with a Barbie collaboration that pushes the chain’s pink branding into full summer mode. Jill Nelson said Dunkin’ was taking pink further than ever, with new iced drinks, a limited-time topper and a New York City store takeover on the calendar.
The launch is built around the Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam, a limited-time topper that adds a pink finish and sweet strawberry flavor to iced beverages, and the Pink Pineapple Refresher, which mixes pineapple, raspberry and hibiscus notes. Guests can also customize the refresher with green tea, black tea, lemonade, oatmilk, protein milk or sparkling water, giving the promotion more than one way to land on the menu.
The timing explains why the rollout is drawing attention now. Dunkin’ is turning the summer menu into a broader branded moment, pairing drinks with a Rocket Pop Classic Donut, Golden BBQ Hash Brown Wake-Up Wraps, Golden BBQ Loaded Hash Browns and a $6 Meal Deal that includes any two Wake-Up Wrap sandwiches and a medium hot or iced coffee. For a chain that has long leaned into colorful seasonal promotions, the Barbie tie-in gives the new lineup a sharper identity than a standard summer refresh.
The bigger push is not confined to the cup. Dunkin’ will debut a Barbie DreamHouse-inspired store takeover in Manhattan beginning June 10, and the activation will run throughout June 2026. The collaboration also extends to a stop-motion video featuring Barbie “Brooklyn” Roberts and Barbie “Malibu” Roberts, who save Ken after he tastes the Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam during a Dunkin’ Run.
That wide reach comes with a catch. The Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam is only available for a limited time, and the Barbie Pink Pineapple Cup arrives later, on June 12, at participating locations while supplies last. Dunkin’ has made the campaign feel like a summer event, but the most visible pieces will not be on shelves for long, which is exactly what should keep fans moving now rather than waiting.
