To usher in the start of the holiday season, Krispy Kreme has debuted a new Cinnamon Swirl donut. Featuring all the best parts of a classic cinnamon bun, the festive treat is the perfect way to indulge this winter.
The new Cinnamon Swirl donut is a mesmerizing treat that consists of a classic donut coated in cinnamon sugar and topped it with swirls of both cream cheese icing and cinnamon icing. As Kreme's Culinary Manager Brittany Dubin explains, the combination of a gooey cinnamon swirl and sweet cream cheese icing "accomplishes the unthinkable."
Available in stores today through to January 2019, the donut is the perfect pairing for Krispy Kreme's new S'mores Hot Chocolate.
