While Rudolph and his red nose may help light the way for Santa during his big trip, another red light is bringing holiday cheer during the holiday season. With Krispy Kreme’s new holiday donuts, everyone can enjoy a sweet treat straight from Santa’s bakery.
As the Christmas tree appears and the Christmas decorations go up, tempting Christmas flavors fill the table. From those classic sugar cookies to the warm spices of gingerbread, there are plenty of classic food options that make everyone smile.
This year, Krispy Kreme’s Christmas Donuts feature three new offerings and two returning favorites. Taking a page from Mrs. Claus’s cookbook, these seasonal flavors are expected to bring joy to everyone.
As Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme Global Brand Director, said: “We are bringing the fun, flavors and joy of the holiday season to life by converting Krispy Kreme stores into Santa’s Bake Shop. We hope our fans choose these fresh and delicious treats to share with family and friends at holiday gatherings.”

What are the new Krispy Kreme Christmas donuts?
With three new flavors on the menu, many people are hungry to try it for the first time. New Christmas donuts are the Sugar Cookie Donut, Gingerbread Crumb Donut, and Red Velvet Cake Donut.
The Sugar Cookie Donut seems to follow one of the gastronomic trends of the season. This offering starts with an Original Glazed and adds sugar cookie frosting and a sugar cookie chip mix. For people who crave that flavor but prefer not to bake, this festive donut is the perfect choice.
The Gingerbread Crumb Donut is a tasty interpretation of the classic holiday cookie. Filled with gingerbread cream cheese, the warm spices combined with the richness of the cream cheese make each bite feel indulgent yet balanced. With added gingerbread crumbs, sprinkles, and frosting, this donut could be a new holiday tradition in those seasonal sweet houses.
Lastly, the Red Velvet Cake Donut brings the flavors of that southern dessert front and center. From the tangy cream cheese frosting to the delicious cake, who says donuts can’t be a part of the holiday dessert table?
In addition to Krispy Kreme’s new holiday donuts, two favorites return, the Santa Belly Donut and the Chocolate Iced with Holiday Sprinkles Donut. The “Santa’s Bake Shop” collection will be available from November 25. The collection comes in a special Christmas-themed limited edition box. Also, each of the donuts can be purchased separately.
Spread a little more holiday cheer by sharing Krispy Kreme Christmas Donuts with a few friends and family. Although buying a dozen or two doesn’t guarantee top billing on Santa’s list, it can make the holiday celebration merry and bright.
