The Tim Hortons Leafs Nation Donut is being launched at more than 300 of the brand's Toronto area locations to provide avid Toronto Maple Leafs fans with a delicious way to show their pride. The donut starts off with a yeast shell donut that's filled with a Venetian cream, and topped with white fondant before being finished with white and blue sprinkles. The limited-edition donut is only being offered for a short time in celebration of the team making it to the second round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Tim Hortons Leafs Nation Donut is also being used as a promotional offering for fans that will see 1,000 given out at Maple Leaf Square alongside free coffee and hot chocolate during tailgating events.
