Krispy Kreme never shies away from a chance to offer new varieties of doughnuts. So the question isn’t if the doughnut chain will be releasing a special lineup of Christmas-themed treats, but instead what the theme will be.
Well, that question was answered the day after Thanksgiving, when the “Santa’s Bake Shop” collection debuted. The three new doughnut flavors are what Krispy Kreme says is “inspired by Santa himself and Mrs. Claus’ recipe book” — alongside two returning fan favorites.
Here are the Krispy Kreme holiday varieties coming direct from Santa’s Bake Shop this year:
Holiday Sugar Cookie Doughnut– An Original Glazed® doughnut iced with sugar cookie flavored icing and topped with a festive sugar and sprinkle blend.
Gingerbread Cookie Crumb Doughnut – A doughnut filled with gingerbread cream cheese flavored filling, dipped in white icing, topped with gingerbread cookie crumbs and holiday sprinkle blend, and drizzled with gingerbread flavored icing.
Red Velvet Cake Doughnut – A glazed red velvet cake doughnut topped with cream cheese icing and red velvet cake crumbles.
Santa Belly Doughnut – A fan favorite filled with Kreme™, dipped in red icing, and decorated like the Big Guy with icing and a belt buckle sugar piece.
Chocolate Iced with Holiday Sprinkles – An Original Glazed® doughnut dipped in chocolate icing and topped with a holiday sprinkle blend.
In case sampling all of those doughnuts makes you thirsty, Krispy Kreme has a new Sugar Cookie Latte and a Peppermint Mocha Latte, both of which are available hot, iced, or frozen.
“We’re bringing the fun, flavors and joy of the Christmas season to life by turning Krispy Kreme shops into Santa’s Bake Shop,” Dave Skena, the chain’s global chief brand officer, stated. “We hope our fans pick up these delicious, fresh treats to share with family and friends at holiday gatherings.”
The doughnuts in the Santa’s Bake Shop collection are available individually or in a limited-edition Christmas-themed box. Customers looking for an extra deal are encouraged to head to Krispy Kreme on December 12 — aka, the “Day of the Dozens” in honor of the twelfth day of the twelfth month — where the purchase of any dozen doughnuts can be paired with an additional Original Glazed dozen for $1.
