A laundry or dryer appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a drum, a door, and an additive dispensing assembly. The drum may be mounted within the cabinet and define a space for the receipt of clothes. The door may be movably mounted to the cabinet to selectively restrict access to the drum. The additive dispensing assembly may be held on the door and configured to provide an additive mist to the drum. The additive dispensing assembly may include an additive tank, a fluid pump, and a dispenser nozzle. The additive tank may define a tank volume to store an additive therein. The fluid pump may be in fluid communication with the additive tank to motivate a volume of the additive. The dispenser nozzle may be directed toward the drum downstream from the fluid pump to guide the volume of the additive into the space defined by the drum.
