Mindy Kaling Spreads Holiday Cheer with 'The Little Holiday Munchkin'

The Underdog Storyteller

Mindy Kaling is no stranger to championing underdog stories. From her hit TV shows like *The Mindy Project* and *Never Have I Ever* to her latest children's book, *The Little Holiday Munchkin*, Kaling's narrative thread of empowering overlooked heroes remains unwavering.

In collaboration with Dunkin', Kaling narrates the adorable tale of a Munchkin donut hole searching for belonging, reminding readers that "the smallest part is the best part." This heartwarming story is part of Dunkin's holiday campaign, aiming to bring joy to children and families during the festive season.

A Star-Studded Collaboration

*The Little Holiday Munchkin* is more than just a children's book – it's a movement. A portion of every book sale will be donated to the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation, supporting children battling hunger or illness. Kaling's passion for underdog stories shines through in her work, and this project is no exception.

"I really relate to it because everything that I write is about underdogs," Kaling shared with PEOPLE. Her upcoming projects, including *Not Suitable for Work*, are expected to carry on this theme, featuring a talented cast, including Ego Nwodim, Constance Wu, and Jay Ellis.

Behind the Scenes

The animated short film, produced by Artists Equity and animated by BUCK, brings the story to life. Kaling's narration adds warmth and wit, making it a joyful watch for kids and adults alike.

Dunkin's CMO, Jill Nelson, emphasizes the campaign's focus on simplicity and emotional honesty: "We love that one of our tiniest treats gets to be the hero of the season." This thoughtful approach has resonated with audiences, making *The Little Holiday Munchkin* a standout holiday campaign.
