The [Christmas donut collection from Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-japan-autumn) includes several friendly holiday icons like Santa Claus, snowmen and festive wreaths, which are all perfect when recreated in a round donut form. Krispy Kreme always jumps on the chance to tie in its sweet treats to a holiday and this is no exception. Since the treats feature plenty of different toppings, getting a dozen donuts is a great way to sample all sorts of different icings, glazes and tasty treats. If you'd rather get a smaller sampling, Krispy Kreme also offers what it's calling the Snowman Box, which includes an assortment of just six donuts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Holiday-themed Desserts:** Opportunity for bakeries and dessert shops to tap into the seasonal celebrations and create unique, festive desserts for their customers. - **Customizable Donuts:** Bakeries and dessert shops can offer customizable donuts with various toppings, icings, and glazes to allow customers to sample different combinations. - **Limited-edition Offerings:** An opportunity for businesses to create limited-edition desserts and products, which can create a sense of exclusivity among customers and increase demand. ### Where This Applies - **Bakery:** Bakeries can create holiday-themed desserts, such as Christmas donuts, to cater to the seasonal demand. - **Coffee Shop:** Coffee shops can offer festive donuts and other desserts as complimentary offerings alongside their coffee, increasing sales and customer loyalty. - **Food Gift Industry:** Businesses in the food gift industry can create holiday-themed gift boxes that include festive desserts, such as Christmas donuts, to cater to the seasonal demand for gifts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DIY Holiday Donut Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-creations-kit.md) - [Holiday-Themed Donut Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santas-bake-shop-collection.md) - [Festive Grinch-Inspired Doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-8.md) - [Seasonal Show-Stopping Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-merry-and-bright.md) - [Extensive Holiday Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-and-hanukkah-doughnuts.md) - [Indulgent Post-Holiday Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-winter-seasonal-collection.md) - [Mischievous Merry Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-grinchmas-doughnut-collection.md) - [Movie-Inspired Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elf-doughnut-collection.md) - [Holiday-Ready Donut Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/randys-donuts-holiday-menu.md)
