CANTON, Mass. (December 14, 2011) – Is the holiday season better with a sweater? It can be, especially if that holiday sweater in your closet puts a $50 Dunkin’ Donuts Card in your wallet. Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s favorite all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, today announced that the company is wrapping up the holiday season with its second annual #DresseDD Holiday Sweater Twitter Contest. Beginning today and continuing through Wednesday, December 21, Americans are invited to submit photos of themselves in their most festive holiday garb to @DunkinDonutson Twitter, using the special hashtag #DresseDD. Dunkin’ Donuts will select three winners to receive a $50 Dunkin’ Donuts Card.

We’re looking forward to bringing back the contest this year, and rewarding three winners with a $50 Dunkin’ Donuts Card so they can keep warm – sweater or no sweater – with our hot coffee, breakfast sandwiches and favorite food and beverages into the New Year.”
