Dunkin’ Launches Limited-Edition Tennis Can and HEAD Merchandise Collection
Dunkin’ is leaning into tennis season with a new lineup of limited-edition collectibles and merchandise, led by a miniature tennis ball can designed to hold MUNCHKINS Donut Hole Treats and a separate collaboration with HEAD.
Beginning August 30, customers who purchase a three-count assorted mix of MUNCHKINS at participating Dunkin’ locations will receive them inside a limited-edition Mini Tennis Can. The collectible container will be available nationwide while supplies last, with a limit of one can per transaction.
The can is designed to resemble the familiar cylindrical packaging used for tennis balls, but scaled down to fit three MUNCHKINS. Dunkin’ specifically calls the item a collectible in its announcement, making it the most direct souvenir component of the company’s tennis-themed menu promotion.
A second collectible component arrives a few days later through Dunkin’s new “Serve, Sip, Swing with Dunkin’” merchandise collection. The limited-edition line launches September 4 at 10 AM ET exclusively through DunkinRunsOnMerch.com and includes two HEAD x Dunkin’ tennis bags created in collaboration with the tennis equipment brand. The bags will be offered in orange and pink and priced at $99 each. Dunkin’ says additional tennis-inspired apparel and accessories will also be part of the collection, with prices ranging from $15 to $50.
The merchandise rollout accompanies two new limited-time drinks, Melon Deuce Energy and Matcha Point, but the physical collectibles give the promotion a longer-lasting piece beyond the menu. The tennis can in particular follows the increasingly common trend of food and beverage brands turning promotional packaging into limited-edition keepsakes.
Dunkin’ is also extending the tennis campaign into New York City with a two-day “Game. Set. Sip.” activation at Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall on August 30 and 31. The pop-up, created with American Express Gold, will include a tennis precision challenge, product samples, photo opportunities and other tennis-themed surprises. The company has also teased another announcement involving a tennis legend, although no additional details were revealed in the initial release.
