A Closer Look at the Stars, Stripes & Sweetness Doughnut Lineup
This special-edition collection features three distinct doughnuts, each with its own unique look and flavor profile inspired by the iconic American flag and traditional holiday desserts:
- Freedom Ring Doughnut
A striking twist on the Original Glazed® doughnut, the Freedom Ring is dipped in smooth white icing and generously adorned with a mix of blue sprinkles and star-shaped confetti. To add a festive flourish, red icing is piped across the top in bold stripes, emulating the American flag. It’s a classic doughnut with a patriotic punch of color. - USA Party Doughnut
This cheerful treat starts with Krispy Kreme’s signature Original Glazed® doughnut, topped with a swirl of luscious white buttercreme and a festive blend of red, white, and blue sprinkles. The crowning touch is a decorative USA sugar piece placed right on top, making it as photo-worthy as it is delicious. It’s a celebratory bite that’s perfect for parties, gatherings, or sharing with friends and family. - Vanilla Cookies & Kreme™ Liberty Crunch Doughnut
For those looking for an indulgent and flavor-packed option, the Liberty Crunch delivers on every level. This unglazed shell doughnut is generously filled with vanilla cookies and Kreme™ filling, then dipped in smooth white icing and topped with crushed vanilla cookie pieces. Red, white, and blue sprinkles along with a white icing drizzle complete the festive look. It’s a crunchy, creamy, and colorful experience made for summer snacking.
