Dunkin’ and Barbie Team Up for a Pink Summer

Dunkin’ is going all-in on pink this summer, and honestly, it feels like a collaboration that was probably destined to happen. Teaming up with Barbie, the coffee chain is launching the new Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam, a limited-time topper that adds a bright pink finish and sweet, creamy strawberry flavor to a variety of cold drinks.

The partnership goes beyond what is in your cup. Dunkin’ has also released a fun stop-motion video featuring Barbie “Brooklyn” Roberts and Barbie “Malibu” Roberts coming to Ken’s rescue after he gets a little too obsessed with the new pink creation during a Dunkin’ run.

The Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam can be added to several of Dunkin’s colorful summer drinks, including the Ultimate Pink Daydream Refresher, Double Strawberry Daydream Refresher, Pink Mango Daydream Refresher, Pink Cherry Daydream Refresher, Strawberry Cloud Matcha, Strawberries & Creme Cloud Dunkalatte, and the Almond Strawberry Shortcake Iced Coffee. If there is one thing clear from this menu, it is that pink is not just a color this summer. It is practically a beverage category.

Dunkin’ is also introducing the new Pink Pineapple Refresher, a light pink drink featuring pineapple, raspberry, and hibiscus flavors. Like other Refreshers, customers can customize their drink with different bases, including green tea, black tea, lemonade, oatmilk, protein milk, or sparkling water. Whether you prefer something creamy, tart, bubbly, or sweet, there are plenty of options to experiment with.

The pink takeover will not stop at the menu. Starting June 10, Dunkin’ will transform a Manhattan location into a Barbie DreamHouse-inspired experience. The New York City store will become a pink-themed destination throughout June where visitors can snap photos and enjoy the limited-time drinks in a setting that looks like it was pulled straight from Barbie’s world.

“Pink has always been part of Dunkin’s DNA, and this summer we’re taking it further than ever,” said Jill Nelson, Chief Marketing Officer at Dunkin’. She described the campaign as bold, fun, and unmistakably Dunkin’.

Mattel’s Mahta Eghbali echoed the excitement, noting that Barbie continues to bring together nostalgia, creativity, and connection across generations. The collaboration aims to turn an everyday coffee run into a playful summer ritual shared among friends.

For collectors and Barbie fans, there is also a little something extra. Beginning June 12, participating Dunkin’ locations will offer the Barbie Pink Pineapple Cup featured in the campaign, while supplies last.

If you happen to spot someone walking around with a bright pink drink this summer, there is a pretty good chance that Dunkin’ and Barbie had something to do with it. Between the pink foam, pink refreshers, pink cups, and a pink DreamHouse takeover, this may be one of the pinkest fast-food promotions we have seen in years.
