Tim Hortons has revealed the most popular donuts and drinks ordered by Canadians in regions across the country during 2020.
The popular chain’s iconic ‘Double-Double’ was Tim Hortons’ most-ordered drink by Canadians in 2020, to no one’s surprise.
As for donuts, it was the Boston Cream which took the top spot as most-ordered – although the most popular selection varied by region.
“Boston Cream donuts are a classic and I’m not surprised it was Canadian Tim Hortons guests’ choice this year,” said Tallis Voakes, the new Culinary Lead for Tim Hortons, in a press release.
“It’s a filled, soft, yeast donut and has delicious chocolate and creamy vanilla flavours. The concept for the donut comes from a Boston Cream Pie recipe that’s over 100 years old — it’s so cool to me to see how dishes evolve over time.”

Despite the Boston Cream landing at number one across the nation, it wasn’t necessarily the first choice of all Canadians.
The Apple Fritter was the top donut in Ontario, the western provinces and the territories in 2020, while the Honey Cruller was No. 1 in Quebec.
The Boston Cream was tops across the Atlantic provinces, however, it also ranked a close second in the rest of the country — which pushed it into the top spot as Canada’s top Tim Hortons donut overall.
Behind the Boston Cream on the overall most-ordered list came the Apple Fritter in second, Old Fashioned Plain in third, Honey Cruller in fourth and Chocolate Dip in fifth.
When it comes to the top coffee orders, the results at the restaurant chain were consistent across the country. The ‘Double-Double’ was followed by “regular” — one dairy, one sugar — and then straight black coffee was third on the most-ordered drinks list.
