This past Thanksgiving, PVDonuts of Providence, Rhode Island, decided to celebrate the rise of unorthodox holiday celebrations with its limited-edition Friendsgiving donut. Not only did the tasty treat put an unexpected twist on standard Thanksgiving fare, but it also gave consumers a fun way to celebrate the holiday with their BFFs.
The Friendsgiving donut was a special creation that PVDonuts dreamed up during the 2016 holiday season. The donut consisted of a slightly sweet brioche donut base, topped with a tart cranberry glaze, a scoop of mashed potatoes, a few slices of fried chicken, a side of stuffing and a drizzle of gravy. The unusual dessert was designed to give consumers a creative new way to enjoy all of their favorite Thanksgiving flavors by offering it in the form of an Instagram-friendly donut.
