The book follows a MUNCHKIN Donut Hole Treat on a holiday-themed journey centered on belonging and celebration. A portion of proceeds from each book sold will benefit the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, which supports children facing hunger or illness. The animated version of the story features narration from Kaling, whose participation introduces the story across Dunkin’s digital platforms, including YouTube and social media.
“Dunkin' MUNCHKINS are a favorite in my house, so this was kind of a no brainer for me. What I love about this story is how it celebrates the overlooked things that end up being the most special. I’m a sucker for an underdog – and for the holidays – so this book is definitely earning a spot in our bedtime story rotation,” said Kaling.
“The holidays at Dunkin’ are all about creating moments of joy. We love that one of our tiniest treats gets to be the hero of the season. The Little Holiday MUNCHKIN is a reminder that joy can come from the smallest things – whether it’s a donut-hole treat, a moment of kindness, or a story shared together – all while supporting the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation and the incredible work it does for children and families,” said Jill Nelson, Chief Marketing Officer at Dunkin’.

The book includes a MUNCHKINS Bread Pudding recipe and is available at participating Dunkin’ locations. Dunkin’ is also releasing limited-edition merchandise inspired by MUNCHKINS through DunkinRunsOnMerch.com.
