Tim Hortons U.S. is warming up its cold beverage lineup just in time for the season change. On Wednesday, February 18, 2026, the coffee chain announced the launch of its Spring menu, headlined by the all-new Golden Cinnamon Cold Foam.
This new customization option is designed to add a “smooth layer of lightly spiced cinnamon sweetness” to any iced drink and is accompanied by a fresh slate of bakery items inspired by comfort food favorites.
The Menu: Spiced Sips & Banana Bread Sweets
The spring rollout is split into two waves, with the primary beverage and bakery innovation available immediately at participating U.S. restaurants.
The Beverages:
- Golden Cinnamon Cold Foam: A new topping available for any cold beverage, but specifically recommended for Cold Brew, Iced Coffee, Iced Lattes, and Iced Matcha Lattes.
- Golden Cinnamon Iced Capp®: The brand’s signature frozen blended coffee gets a seasonal twist with the new cinnamon flavor profile.
The Bakery (Available Now):
- Choco Chip Banana Bread Donut: A yeast ring donut that mimics the flavor of the classic loaf.
- Choco Chip Banana Bread Timbits®: Bite-sized versions of the new donut flavor.
- Blueberry Cheesecake Mini Pastries: A flaky, fruit-filled addition to the pastry case.
Coming Soon (March 18):
Looking ahead to Easter, the chain will release a second wave of festive treats next month:
- Spring Chick Donut
- Spring Egg Donut
- Timbits® Spring Bucket
“Spring is all about fresh starts and new flavors,” said Maria Posada, Vice President of Marketing for Tim Hortons U.S. “Golden Cinnamon Cold Foam gives our guests an easy way to elevate their favorite iced beverage with a silky smooth layer of richness.”
Why It Matters
This launch highlights three key strategies for Tim Hortons as it continues to battle for market share in the U.S.:
- The Cold Foam Craze: Cold foam has become a non-negotiable for modern coffee chains. By expanding its foam menu beyond standard vanilla, Tim Hortons is keeping pace with Starbucks and Dunkin’, both of which heavily rely on seasonal cold foams to drive premium cold coffee sales.
- Beverage Customization: The press release explicitly mentions “expanding customization options.” This is a direct response to Gen Z consumer habits, where the ability to personalize a drink (and upcharge for it) is a primary driver of loyalty.
- Comfort Food Nostalgia: Banana bread is a universally beloved comfort food. Translating that flavor into a donut and Timbit allows for a “safe” but indulgent innovation that appeals to a broad demographic.
