Dunkin’ has this free gift in the bag

Celebrate the end of the holiday abyss with a free donut and reusable donut bag when you buy a drink on Friday.

Dunkin’ has this free gift in the bag

For the first Snackology review of 2026, I assumed I’d be writing about a new Taco Bell item or Oreo flavor. I didn’t expect to kick things off writing about a donut bag, but the snack universe works in mysterious ways.

To cap off its “Week of Produnktivity,” Dunkin’ is not only giving everyone who buys a drink a free donut, they’re throwing in a reusable donut bag.

Yes, this is a tiny bag made of the same material as those reusable bags you buy but then never bring back to the grocery store, only sized down so that a donut can be cozily carried home.

The thoughts

Dunkin’ knows that the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day (and the few days after, if you’re lucky enough to have them off too) are a confusing time. Is it Wednesday? Is it Friday?

“We all know the week between the holidays and the new year hits a little differently,” Dunkin’ notes. “The pace slows down, the days blend together, and being “productive” may take a back seat. At Dunkin’, we’re all for it, and we’re calling it the Week of Produnktivity.”

I would’ve probably already capped off my Week of Produnktivity with a Dunkin’ visit on Friday, but this adorable reusable donut bag made a visit a necessity. There appears to be at least two different versions of the bag. Mine came with a “My goals have sprinkles” message while my sister-in-law got one that read “My goal is more donuts.” Both are good goals.

The best part of Dunkin’s reusable donut bag? My strawberry frosted donut was — finally! — not plopped frosting side down into the bag.
