Fans hearts will grow three sizes with three all-new doughnuts beginning Nov. 29; popular ‘Day of the Dozens’ returns Dec. 12

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This Christmas season, every Who down in Who-ville will cry out “Woo-Hoo!” Because they had Krispy Kreme’s® new collection, and so can you!

There’s a mischievous Grinch who likes Cookies and creme, and Cindy-Lou Who is a Merry Berry dream. Our fan-fav Santa Belly is back and busting with Kreme™, and meet “Grinchy Claus,” with sprinkles red, white, and green.

Beginning Friday, Nov. 29 for a limited time at participating Krispy Kreme shops, fans can catch the first sleigh filled with Krispy Kreme’s new “Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection” – three all-new doughnuts, each based on a character from the Christmas classic “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” by Dr. Seuss – along with two returning fan favorites:

  • NEW Grinch Doughnut: an unglazed doughnut filled with “coal” Cookies & KREME™ filling, dipped in Grinch green icing with a chocolate icing smirky grin and buttercream hair.
  • NEW Grinchy Claus Doughnut: an Original Glazed® doughnut dipped in chocolate icing, topped with white buttercreme, Christmas crispies and Grinch piece.
  • NEW Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Doughnut: an Original Glazed® Doughnut dipped in strawberry flavored icing with a green buttercreme tree, festively sprinkled and topped with a star piece.
  • Santa Belly Doughnut: a returning holiday favorite unglazed doughnut filled with white Kreme™, dipped in red icing, piped with a black chocolate Santa belt and topped with a belt buckle.
  • Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut: an Original Glazed® doughnut dipped in chocolate icing with festive sprinkles is back.
