According to John Costello, Chief Global Marketing and Innovation Officer at Dunkin' Brands, "The holiday sweater is a fun symbol of the season, and our fans clearly enjoyed the chance to show off their most festive holiday garb during our Holiday Sweater Twitter contest last year. 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."
