Krispy Kreme’s All-New Holiday Doughnuts Feature a Festive First-Time Partnership

Nothing says “it’s the holidays” quite like watching your favorite Christmas movie with a plate full of sweets. But what if the plate full of sweets was modeled after your favorite Christmas movie? Pretty meta, right? 

One of the most classic Christmas movies of all time, “Elf,” is celebrating its 20th anniversary this holiday season. Because of that, multiple brands have teamed up with Warner Bros. to release “Elf”-inspired foods and products that would make Buddy the Elf proud—like Mrs. Butterworth sugar cookie pancakes, maple-syrup flavored Goldfish, and even Swirly Twirly Gum Drops reminiscent of the forest Buddy goes through to get to New York. 

But because an elf’s four main food groups are all sweet treats, there’s always room for more dessert—especially when it’s a partnership with an iconic restaurant. 

Krispy Kreme's New "Elf" Holiday Collection

This holiday season, Krispy Kreme is teaming up with “Elf” and Warner Bros. to release three all-new doughnuts. The first-ever holiday “Elf” collection will include a Buddy Snow Globe Doughnut, a Buddy Makes Breakfast Doughnut, a Christmas Lights Doughnut, and the return of the iconic Santa Belly Doughnut.

The Buddy Snow Globe Doughnut is an Original Glazed doughnut decorated to look like a festive snow globe with blue sugar cookie icing, white sprinkles, powdered sugar snow, and an Elf chocolate piece. 

Krispy Kreme’s Buddy Makes Breakfast Doughnut is an Original Glazed doughnut decorated to resemble Buddy’s spaghetti, syrup, and candy breakfast with cake batter-flavored buttercream piped like spaghetti, milk chocolate candies, sprinkles, and a maple drizzle. 

The Christmas Lights Doughnut is an Original Glazed doughnut with chocolate icing topped with green icing and candies to look like a string of Christmas lights—plus, it features an “Elf” candy piece with the iconic quote “Santa! I know him!”

Finally, making its return is the fan-favorite Santa Belly Doughnut, which is a Cookies & Kreme-filled doughnut dipped in red icing and decorated to look like Santa’s belt. While this doughnut isn’t necessarily “Elf”-themed, you can’t have the holidays at Krispy Kreme without it.

The “Elf” collection will be available at Krispy Kreme locations nationwide starting November 24 through the end of the holiday season. As with all Krispy Kreme flavors, the doughnuts are available as a dozen in a special, limited-edition “Elf” box or à la carte.

If you don’t have a Krispy Kreme near you, though, don’t worry! This “Elf” collection is for any cotton-headed ninny muggins who wants to try it. A 6-pack featuring the Buddy Snow Globe Doughnut, Festive Lights Doughnut, and Santa Belly Doughnut will be available at select grocery stores nationwide, including Walmart, Kroger, Publix, Food Lion, and more. You can check which stores near you have Krispy Kreme doughnuts delivered fresh daily on Krispy Kreme’s site.

Krispy Kreme's New Holiday Coffees

As if all this sweetness wasn’t enough, Krispy Kreme is also introducing two new holiday drinks. It will serve a Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate and a Sugar Cookie Latte, available hot, iced, or frozen with Krispy Kreme's new reformulated coffee, beginning November 24 as well. 

With goodies galore, you know what that means—the best way to spread Christmas cheer is by heading to Krispy Kreme this year!
