With National Churro Day on June 6th and National Donut Day on June 7th, Tim Hortons is offering consumers the best of both foodie holidays by launching a new [Churro Donut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kit-kat-churro) in the US. Unfortunately, the new donut is a limited-time offering, so donut fans will have to act fast in order to sink their teeth into this cinnamon sugar treat.

Tim Hortons' new Churro Donut takes the beloved [Honey Cruller Donut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-bun-cow-tales) and stuffs it with a sweet caramel filling. To give the donut the taste of a real churro, the outside is then sprinkled with a [cinnamon sugar blend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-churro-cookie). The new donut is set to launch on June 7th (National Donut Day) at participating Tim Hortons location and then roll out nationwide on June 12th.
