Dunkin’ drink buckets are here. But you’ll have to act fast to get one

Calling all caffeine lovers and big sippers — the Dunkin' bucket is finally here.

Dunkin' is launching its viral 48-ounce beverage buckets at locations nationwide, the company confirmed to USA TODAY. The buckets can be filled with iced coffee or refreshers and are fully customizable — customers can choose their preferred flavors and sweetness.

The confirmation comes months after the coffee chain tested the beverage buckets at a limited number of locations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. But Dunkin' fans will have to act fast to get their hands on one, as buckets will only be available for a limited run.

Here's how you can snag one.

Collectible 48-ounce beverage buckets. How to get one at Dunkin'

The beverage buckets will be available at Dunkin' locations nationwide on May 22, the company confirmed to USA TODAY.

Each store will have just 25 buckets available, so fans will need to head to their local store early to purchase one.

The collectible buckets, which bear the Dunkin' logo and come with a handle and straw, are $12.99 each. After initial purchase, the buckets are not refillable at Dunkin' locations.

Dunkin' buckets spark social media craze

In February, Dunkin’ sparked widespread speculation on social media after posts appeared to show 48-ounce beverage buckets for sale at some locations.

While Dunkin' didn't publicly confirm whether it was testing buckets at the time, posts about the buckets, including on X and Reels, each garnered millions of views within days.

The posts at the time showed that customers ordering the buckets could choose one of three drinks to go inside: a strawberry dragonfruit lemonade refresher for $9.49; a blueberry cobbler iced latte for $11.49; or a caramel coco iced coffee for $8.89.
