Dunkin’ is having a major pumpkin giveaway.
The doughnut chain announced in an Instagram post that it is giving away free Pumpkin Spice Signature Lattes with a purchase from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
The offer is available at participating Dunkin’ locations, both in-store and through the app, and includes a free medium Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte when a qualifying purchase is made.
Per the brand, individual Munchkins or water cups are not eligible for the deal.
“Hope we spiced up your life ;),” the chain wrote in its post.
The giveaway is tied to a campaign Dunkin’ released on Sept. 8 following its fall menu drop spotlighting Rachel Dratch as the forgotten sixth member of the Spice Girls, Pumpkin Spice.
The former Saturday Night Live comedian, 60, starred in the campaign with Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton, 50, and Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell-Horner, 54.

While the former Spice Girls discuss Pumpkin’s contributions to the singing group, Pumpkin said she eventually “left the band to focus on lattes.”
The comedian told PEOPLE that Bunton and Halliwell-Horner were “super fun” and “very, very nice.”
“Not at all like the diva that Pumpkin Spice is, as a matter of fact. So yeah, she was the one I could see throwing a tantrum because she didn’t have whatever, orange M&Ms,” she said of her character.
She added that her costume, created by stylist Michael Fusco, was “amazing.”
“I love the kind of costume where you just step into it and it does 80% of the work for you with the character because it’s so fun and funny and it looks like a pumpkin,” she says. “So it just kind of screams like comedy, but also sort of, like, diva pop star kind of thing. So it sort of captured everything at once.”
Dratch told PEOPLE that pumpkin spice drinks evoke fall for her.
“As soon as you taste a pumpkin latte, it’s like everyone goes crazy,” the Massachusetts native said. “It’s like fall’s officially here. So, I love fall. Growing up in New England and all that, the smells of fall just take me back to happy places.”
Dunkin’s Spice Girls campaign follows the chain’s release of its fall menu on Aug. 19, featuring the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte and other autumnal offerings.
The fall menu includes a Pumpkin Cloud Dunkalatte, Pumpkin Patch Cloud Latte and Pumpkin Pie Coffee Chiller, along with a Nutty Pumpkin Protein Latte.
Also included in the chain’s pumpkin fall items are a Pumpkin Donut, Pumpkin Munchkins and a Pumpkin Muffin.
In addition to pumpkin, Dunkin’ has spotlighted tiramisu flavors this fall, with a Tiramisu Cloud Latte, Tiramisu Marshmallow Matcha and more. It also added a Berry Clementine Refresher and Berry Daydream Refresher to the menu.
The fall menu was headlined by influencer Alix Earle‘s Dunkin’ Earle-y Riser meal, including a Shakin’ Espresso with almond milk and sugar-free vanilla, a Sausage, Egg and Cheese Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap and three Munchkins.
Dunkin’ has already given away one million free espresso drinks to celebrate pumpkin season this year.
On Aug. 25, rewards members could use the code EASYCHOICE starting at 12 p.m. to redeem the offer, which the brand encouraged fans to use to try the newly launched fall menu.
The chain has given out millions of free drinks this year, from handing out a million free Refreshers twice in August to giving away a million free coffees on May 19.
