Krispy Kreme Brings Back Original Glazed Blueberry Doughnut for a Final Summer Treat
As summer 2026 begins to wind down, Krispy Kreme® is giving doughnut fans another opportunity to enjoy one of the season’s most popular limited-time flavors. Following a successful debut in July, the Original Glazed® Blueberry Flavored Doughnut is making a special return for just four days, giving customers one final chance to enjoy the fruity twist on the brand’s signature doughnut.
The limited-time doughnut will be available at participating Krispy Kreme shops across the United States from Thursday, Sept. 17, through Sunday, Sept. 20. Along with the returning flavor, Krispy Kreme is offering a special promotion designed to encourage customers to purchase and share a dozen.
During the four-day promotion, guests can purchase a dozen Original Glazed® Blueberry Flavored Doughnuts for $5 when they purchase any dozen at regular price at participating Krispy Kreme locations. The offer provides fans with an opportunity to stock up on the seasonal favorite while celebrating the final days of summer.
A Popular Summer Flavor Returns
The Original Glazed® Blueberry Flavored Doughnut was originally introduced in July as part of National Blueberry Month. The launch gave Krispy Kreme customers a new interpretation of the company’s well-known Original Glazed® doughnut by incorporating blueberry flavor directly into the dough.
The response to the product helped make it one of the company’s hottest-selling doughnuts of the summer. With consumers showing continued interest in the seasonal item, Krispy Kreme decided to bring the product back for one final limited-time appearance.
The returning doughnut combines the familiar concept of Krispy Kreme’s Original Glazed® offering with a bright, fruit-inspired blueberry flavor. Rather than simply adding a topping or filling, the product features blueberry-flavored dough, creating a distinctive variation while retaining the soft, sweet characteristics associated with the Original Glazed® range.
The return also arrives as the contiguous United States experiences an exceptionally warm summer in 2026. Against that seasonal backdrop, Krispy Kreme is positioning the doughnut as a final opportunity for consumers to enjoy one of its most recognizable summer creations before the season officially changes.
Krispy Kreme Responds to Fan Demand
According to Krispy Kreme Chief Product and Brand Officer Alison Holder, customer enthusiasm played an important role in the decision to bring the doughnut back.
“Fans made it clear they weren’t ready to say goodbye to our Original Glazed® Blueberry Flavored Doughnut, so we’re bringing it back for one last summer celebration,” Holder said.
She added that the limited-time return gives customers an opportunity to share the product with friends and family or simply enjoy it themselves.
The short availability window is likely to add to the product’s seasonal appeal. Rather than becoming a permanent menu item, the blueberry doughnut will be available for only four days, reinforcing its role as a special summer offering.
For consumers who enjoyed the product during its July debut, the return provides another opportunity to purchase it. For those who missed the original launch, the four-day period offers a final chance to try the seasonal variation while supplies last.
Special Dozen Promotion
The limited-time return comes with a promotional offer that gives customers an additional incentive to purchase the blueberry doughnuts by the dozen.
At participating Krispy Kreme shops, customers can receive a dozen Original Glazed® Blueberry Flavored Doughnuts for $5 with the purchase of any dozen at regular price. The offer is available for customers ordering in-store or through the drive-thru.
Customers who purchase at participating locations can receive up to two promotional blueberry dozens per guest, subject to the terms of the offer.
The promotion is also available to customers ordering through Krispy Kreme’s digital channels. Those placing an online order for pickup or delivery through the Krispy Kreme app or website can enter the promotional code BLUEBERRY at checkout to access the offer.
For online orders, the promotion is limited to one discounted dozen per guest. Availability and participation may vary by location, so customers are encouraged to check participating shops before placing an order.
Available While Supplies Last
The Original Glazed® Blueberry Flavored Doughnut will be available individually as well as by the dozen during the promotional period. Customers can purchase the doughnuts directly in participating shops or order them for pickup or delivery through Krispy Kreme’s digital platforms.
Because the product is a limited-time offering, availability is subject to supply. Krispy Kreme encourages customers interested in trying the doughnut to check the company’s shop locator to identify participating locations.
The return reflects a broader food and beverage industry strategy in which brands use seasonal and limited-time products to generate consumer interest and encourage repeat visits. By bringing back a product that generated strong demand during its initial launch, Krispy Kreme is also using customer response to shape the timing and availability of its seasonal menu offerings.
A Final Taste of Summer
For Krispy Kreme, the September return of the Original Glazed® Blueberry Flavored Doughnut serves as a final summer celebration. The product’s four-day availability gives fans a defined window to enjoy the seasonal flavor before it leaves participating menus again.
The combination of a familiar flagship doughnut, blueberry flavor and a limited promotional price is designed to appeal to both existing Krispy Kreme fans and consumers looking for a seasonal treat. The dozen promotion also makes the offering suitable for sharing at gatherings, offices, family occasions or casual summer celebrations.
Customers can find participating Krispy Kreme shops through the company’s shop locator and purchase the doughnuts in-store, through the drive-thru, or through the Krispy Kreme app and website where pickup and delivery are available.
Krispy Kreme is also encouraging fans to share their experiences on social media using #KrispyKreme and by tagging @krispykreme.
With only four days of availability, the Original Glazed® Blueberry Flavored Doughnut is positioned as a final opportunity to enjoy one of Krispy Kreme’s standout seasonal products. For fans who enjoyed its original July debut—or those who simply want to discover what made the blueberry variation so popular—the Sept. 17–20 return provides one last taste of summer before the limited-time offering disappears again.
