# Donut-Topped Milkshakes This Peace Collective Drink Celebrates National Donut Day By Mary Van Puymbroeck | Published 2017-06-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donut-topped-milkshake References: [peace-treats](http://www.peace-treats.com/#peace-treats) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/peacetreatsco/) '[Peace Collective](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepy-by-peace-love-hormones)' in Toronto is offering a donut-topped milkshake that looks almost too good to drink. Peace Collective has named this sweet treat the D.R.E.A.M (Donuts Rule Everything Around Me) Milkshake. The shop is known for its [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prettylittlething-x-krispy-kreme)-worthy treats and it would be hard not to want to take a photo of this vanilla milkshake topped with mini donuts. In honor of National Donut Day, Peace Collective has also teamed up with Toronto-based donut shop [Glory Hole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kings-ransom-dark-chocolate-bar) to create a donut ice cream sandwich. Peace Collective is located on Ossington Ave. but has recently opened a pop-up shop in the Yorkdale Shopping center so those with a sweet tooth can more easily snag a donut-topped milkshake on National Donut Day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Instagram-worthy Treats:** Opportunity to create visually appealing food and drinks that are highly sharable on social media platforms. - **Collaborations with Local Brands:** Chance to partner with local businesses to create unique and exclusive products, generating buzz and attracting new customers. - **Pop-up Shops:** Potential to create temporary retail spaces in high-traffic areas, increasing brand visibility and reaching new customer segments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Innovate and experiment with creative ingredients, flavors, and presentations to create unique dining experiences and capture consumer attention. - **Retail:** Explore collaborations and partnerships with popular local brands to offer exclusive products and drive foot traffic to brick-and-mortar stores. - **Social Media Marketing:** Leverage visually appealing food and drink creations to generate organic buzz on social media platforms, ultimately increasing brand awareness and engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Strawberry Frosted Donut Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-frosted-donut-shake.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Donut Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-hortons-dream-donuts.md) - [Milkshake-Themed Dessert Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-factory.md) - [Limited-Edition New Year Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-shake-shack-shakes.md) - [Canadian-Inspired QSR Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-canadian-specialty-menu-toronto.md) - [Sprinkle Cookie-Inspired Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinkle-cookie-shake.md) - [Candy-Topped Easter Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamdonut.md) - [QSR-Produced Milkshake Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-7.md) - [Candy-Topped Ice Cream Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toploaded-shakes.md)
