Hot on the heels of Thanksgiving cake-flavored donuts, a classic character is preparing to steal Christmas from every Who at Krispy Kreme. Luckily, the chain known for the freshest, fluffiest donuts around is keeping a close eye on its three new flavors, the Merry Grinchmas Collection. There are also two holiday classics that the Grinch would also like to plunder.

This collaboration with Dr. Seuss Enterprises brings forth one of America’s most beloved Christmas stories, “How the Grinch Who Stole Christmas!” to edible treats, followed by several attractive current collections. The Ghostbusters collection featured Phantom-themed flavors for Halloween, and the Barbie collection launched in September with pink treats, including a donut depicting the iconic doll’s Malibu beach house.

Krispy Kreme’s new Merry Grinchmas collection

But starting Friday, November 29th, Black Friday shoppers will be lining up for a green character we might love even more than Slimer. “Our Merry Grinchmas donuts are guaranteed to put a smile on the face of even the grinchiest Grinch,” said Dave Skena, Global Chief Brand Officer, Krispy Kreme. “You’re a cute guy at Krispy Kreme, Mr. Grinch!”

Maybe sweet in taste, but never in character. The grumpy character’s donut fits his personality, but thanks to Cindy-Lou Who for sweetening the lineup. Here are the new offers:

• Grinch donut: an unglazed donut filled with “charcoal” cookies and cream filling, dipped in green Grinch icing with a chocolate icing grin and buttercream hair.
• Grinchy Claus donut: an original glazed donut dipped in chocolate icing, topped with white buttercream, Christmas crispies and a Grinch piece.
• Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Donut: an original glazed donut dipped in strawberry flavored icing, with a green buttercream tree sprinkled and topped with a star piece.

Krispy Kreme’s recurring holiday lineup

These three new donuts aren’t the only ones celebrating (or in the case of the Grinch, trying). not to celebrate) with Christmas spirit. The returning Santa Belly Donut is unglazed but filled with white “cream.” It’s dipped in red glaze, then fitted with a black Santa belt and finished off with the big man’s belt buckle. The Holiday Sprinkle Donut is an original glazed donut dipped in chocolate glaze and decorated with festive sprinkles.

Are you planning on celebrating the holidays with the whole gang? Select grocery stores carry both six-packs and dozens filled with the Grinch Donut, Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Donut, Santa Belly Donut and Holiday Sprinkle Donuts. You can even curate a collection yourself at your local Krispy Kreme.

You might want to do this on December 12th, Krispy Kreme’s annual “Day of the Dozens.” On this day only, donut lovers can purchase an original glazed dozen for $1 when they purchase another dozen at the regular price. It doesn’t matter whether this happens in-store, at the drive-thru or online – the offer is still as attractive as can be.
