This May, Dunkin’ is serving main character energy with $6 Meal Deal in a star-studded campaign that redefines what it means to be a snack.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This May, Dunkin’ is serving main character energy, from craveable new flavors, unbeatable value across the menu, and a star-studded campaign that redefines what it means to be a snack.

To spotlight its $6 Meal Deal, America’s largest coffee and donuts brand is turning everyday Dunkin’ runs into main character moments by teaming up with some of Hollywood’s most meal-worthy stars. The playful video features a cast known as much for their charm as their work: James Marsden, Charles Melton, Tramell Tillman, Gavin Casalegno and Dylan Efron, with a cameo from comedian Zarna Garg. While mid-order, each heartthrob has an epiphany: they’re not just a snack…they’re the whole meal.

A nod to the Dunkin’ deal itself, the $6 Meal Deal offers guests value and satisfying portions, including a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich, crispy Hash Browns, and a Medium Hot (14 oz.) or Iced Coffee (24 oz)*. It’s an all-day offering designed for value, taste and convenience – and it’s just one way Dunkin’ is delivering deals across the menu, from a delicious meal to $3 Dunkin’ Refreshers.

Dunkin’ is also introducing new menu items to set the tone for warmer days and seasonal cravings:

  • Tropical Guava Dunkin’ Refresher: A vibrant, fruit-flavored sip featuring B vitamins for a refreshing boost of energy. Available with Green Tea, Lemonade or Sparkling Water and for the first time, guests can customize the sweetness of their Refresher. Guests can try Tropical Guava – or other varieties of Refreshers like Strawberry Dragonfruit, Mango Pineapple and Raspberry Watermelon with their choice of Lemonade or Sparkling Water – all-day for $3 for a Medium**.
  • Pistachio Signature Latte: For those who loved Pistachio Coffee, a fan-favorite flavor returns in a bold new way. Rich espresso meets the nutty, subtly sweet Pistachio Flavor Swirl, finished with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and Waffle Cone Pieces. Available hot or iced.
  • Iced Strawberry Lemon Loaf: A zesty twist on a classic, this lemon loaf with strawberry cake swirl topped with a strawberry-flavored icing joins in time for peak strawberry season. It’s packaged for on-the-go convenience to ensure a tender, moist crumb with every bite.

These new offerings join the lineup of continuing seasonal favorites that includes the Dunkalatte™, Arctic Cherry Dunkin’ Energy Drink, Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso, Ham and Swiss Pretzel Sliders, Sweet Black Pepper Bacon and Chicken Bacon Croissant Stuffer.
