Krispy Kreme's holiday plans include releasing seasonal treats for the whole family to enjoy. This year, on November 29, Krispy Kreme invites fans to celebrate the holidays with the 'Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection,' a festive lineup inspired by Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Kicking off the new options, the 'Grinch Doughnut' is filled with Cookies & KREME™ “coal,” topped with Grinch-green icing, a chocolate smirk, and buttercream hair. The 'Grinchy Claus Doughnut' transforms an Original Glazed® into a whimsical delight with chocolate icing, buttercream, and a Grinch decoration, while the 'Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Doughnut' boasts strawberry icing, a buttercream tree, and a star topper.
Returning favorites include the beloved 'Santa Belly Doughnut,' filled with white KREME™ and dressed in red icing and a chocolate belt, alongside the 'Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut,' an Original Glazed® adorned with festive sprinkles.
