[Krispy Kreme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-spangled-sweetness-collection) is once again gearing up to celebrate the Fourth of July, this time announcing the launch of its new 'I Heart [America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-spangled-desserts)' collection. The new pastry collection will feature four all-new doughnuts, including 'Soaring Firework Heart,' 'Patriotic [Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaffa-cookies1) & Kreme Heart,' 'Stars & Stripes Heart,' and 'Star Spangled Sprinkle.'

In addition to the new collection, Krispy Kreme has also announced that it will be running an in-store promotion; customers who attend the store wearing red, white, and blue will receive a free doughnut of their choice. Both the 'I Heart American' collection and in-store promotion will run from June 27 to July 4 at all Krispy Kreme shops throughout the United States. The new offerings will not interrupt the brand's 'Sweet New Deal' promotion, allowing guests to sample a free doughnut and coffee through Labor Day.
