Krispy Kreme rings in Christmas cheer with fresh donut flavors straight from Dr. Seuss’ Who-Ville.

On Monday, November 25, the franchise announced a new Merry Grinchmas Donut Collection inspired by the author’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas!. Jim Carey was famous for starring as the Grinch in the 2000 film adaptation.

According to the Krispy Kreme announcement, there will be three donuts based on the characters from the story: Grinch, Grinchy Claus and Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree. In addition, the company is bringing back two fan-favorite staples: Santa Belly and Holiday Sprinkle.

The Grinch is a classic unglazed donut with cookies and cream filling that resembles coal and an intricate green frosting design made to resemble the evil character’s face.

Grinch Claus is a glazed donut with a chocolate glaze and a buttercream finish. On top, customers can munch on Christmas-coloured sprinkles and a Grinch piece.

For Cindy-Lou Who’s donut, Krispy Kreme added their original frosting with strawberry frosting and a green buttercream tree design finished with a star piece.

Cult Krispy Kreme fans will remember the Santa Belly as an unglazed donut with white cream, red icing and a black chocolate belt. Meanwhile, the Holiday Sprinkle will still be an original frosting with chocolate frosting and Christmas sprinkles.

“Who wants to celebrate Christmas with Krispy Kreme?! Our Merry Grinchmas donuts are guaranteed to make even the Grinchiest Grinch smile,” Dave Skena, global chief brand officer for Krispy Kreme, said in the release.

Customers can taste the holiday excitement starting Nov. 29, the day after Thanksgiving, for a limited time. Anyone who orders a dozen donuts will receive a special, Grinch-colored box.

In addition, Krispy Kreme gives customers the option to order either a six-pack or a dozen to be delivered fresh to participating grocery stores. To find out which stores will partner with the company, go to the Krispy Kreme website and click on the store locator.

The Krispy Kreme “Day of the Dozen” promotion will also be available again this year on December 12th. Anyone who buys a dozen donuts can get a dozen glazed donuts for just $1.

Earlier this month, the conglomerate launched a range of new donuts for Thanksgiving. From apple crumble to chocolate silk pie, patrons were presented with a tasting board of special flavors that are typically served as pies. The full collection includes Lemon Cream, Apple Crumble, Chocolate Silk and Blueberry Crispy.

“Our new Thanksgiving Pies Donut Collection was created with that in mind to help bring people together and sweeten the season of sharing joy and gratitude,” said Skena.
