The Shipley Donuts Mother's Day donuts have been announced by the brand as a new treat for Mother's Day that are crafted especially with gifting occasions in mind. The donuts are being offered from May 4 through 20, 2026 and come in limited-edition MOM donut boxes that will open to reveal letter-shaped treats that spell out 'MOM.' The donuts consist of the brand's classic yeast donut recipe that's handmade and paired with white, strawberry and chocolate icing alongside a series of sprinkles for a finishing touch of sweetness.
Director of Culinary Kaitlyn Venable spoke on the Shipley Donuts Mother's Day donuts saying, "We wanted to give guests a truly meaningful way to celebrate moms this year. Each of these celebratory donuts is crafted with the same care, sweetness and attention to detail that moms bring to everything they do, making it the perfect, tasty gift for them. These aren't just donuts, they're a message, made by hand, with the same care we put into every batch."
