At Krispy Kreme, everyone gets into the holiday spirit, including the Grinch.

The donuts include the new Grinch Donut, which consists of an unglazed donut base that is filled with “charcoal” – also known as Cookies & Kreme filling – and then dipped in Grinch green glaze with thin lines on it Chocolate icing is piped to form the character’s face, complete with a “grinning grin and buttercream-colored hair.”

Then there’s the Grinchy Claus Donut, an original glazed treat dipped in chocolate icing and decorated with white buttercream, holiday-colored crispies and an edible flat Grinch figurine. Also new is the Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Donut, which consists of an original icing dipped in strawberry-flavored frosting and then topped with a green buttercream tree, sprinkles and a gold star piece.
