Krispy Kreme is inviting fans to “Share the Taste O’Luck” this St. Patrick’s Day with the introduction of four brand-new festive doughnuts designed to bring joy, sweetness, and a little bit of Irish charm to the holiday. As part of the celebration, thousands of lucky customers will also have the chance to win free doughnuts for an entire year, making this one of the most exciting promotions the brand has ever launched.
Starting today, Krispy Kreme’s St. Patrick’s Day Collection is available for a limited time at participating locations. These all-new doughnuts are crafted with unique flavors and vibrant decorations, capturing the spirit of the holiday and giving customers another delicious reason to celebrate. The collection features four festive flavors, each offering a distinctive take on the St. Patrick’s Day theme:
1. Pot of Gold Doughnut – This delightful treat starts with Krispy Kreme’s signature Original Glazed® Doughnut, dipped in a luscious golden caramel-flavored icing. It is then topped with a swirl of caramel-flavored buttercream and a sprinkle of gold coin glitter, bringing a shimmering, lucky charm to each bite.
2. Over the Rainbow Doughnut – Designed to be as magical as a rainbow after a storm, this doughnut features an unglazed shell filled with rich cake batter-flavored Kreme™. It is then coated in a light green icing and adorned with shamrock rainbow sprinkles, finishing with a colorful rainbow sugar piece that adds an extra touch of whimsy.
3. Choco-Shenanigans Doughnut – Chocolate lovers will rejoice at this decadent offering. An unglazed shell doughnut is generously filled with smooth white Kreme™, dipped in indulgent chocolate icing, and topped with festive green icing drizzles and sparkling gold coin glitter sprinkles, making it a perfect treat for those looking to indulge in some holiday mischief.
4. St. Patty’s Swirl Doughnut – A playful twist on a classic, this Original Glazed® doughnut is dipped in creamy white icing, swirled with green icing, and coated with a mix of white and gold sanding sugar for an elegant finish that will make any St. Patrick’s Day celebration even more special.
Dave Skena, Chief Growth Officer for Krispy Kreme, expressed his enthusiasm for the new collection, stating, “If you’re planning any holiday shenanigans – and you should – our St. Patrick’s Day Collection will make them more festive and fun. When you share these doughnuts, you’ll make your own luck. No leprechaun required.”
