Just as everyone is getting into the holiday spirit, so is Krispy Kreme, with a festive twist, which includes Whos from Whoville and everyone's favorite curmudgeon - the Grinch. This Monday, the global doughnut chain revealed its holiday-inspired collection of doughnuts featuring these popular characters and a comeback of a beloved bestselling holiday doughnut.

"Who's ready for a Krispy Kreme-style Christmas? Our festive Grinchmas doughnuts are playful and delicious enough to put a smile on even the most hard-hearted Grinch," proclaimed Dave Skena, the global chief brand officer at Krispy Kreme, while making the announcement. "At Krispy Kreme, Mr. Grinch, we ensure sweetness is everywhere!"

Starting from November 29th, doughnut enthusiasts can grab a scrumptious sample from the "Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection" at any Krispy Kreme outlet. The star of the new collection is the Grinch Doughnut, a creative confection crafted from an unglazed base, filled with a Cookies & Kreme filling (humorously referred to as "coal"), covered with Grinch-green icing and decorated with thin lines of chocolate icing to form the Grinch's unmistakable face and completed with a sassy smirk and buttercream hair.

Apart from this, the Grinchy Claus Doughnut – an original glazed delicacy dipped in chocolate icing and adorned with white buttercreme, Christmassy crispies, and a flat edible Grinch topper – is also part of the new lineup. The Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Doughnut, another addition, features an original glazed base loaded with strawberry icing, a cream-filled green tree, sprinkles, and a golden star piece.

This holiday season also marks the triumphant return of the much-loved Santa Belly Doughnut. An original unglazed doughnut shell, oozing with creamy filling, dipped in red icing, and finished with a piped black chocolate Santa's belt and clasp. Additionally, the timeless Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut offers a classic taste with its original glazed base, chocolate icing top with a sprinkle of festive colors.

These holiday-themed Krispy Kreme doughnuts are available in shops by the dozen for a limited time. A selection of six, including the Grinch Doughnut, the Santa Belly Doughnut, the Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Doughnut, and the Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut are available in select supermarkets.

Krispy Kreme is set to re-introduce its annual "Day of the Dozens" promotion on December 12th, where customers can get a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for just $1 with the purchase of any other dozen at regular price. A perfect treat for family gatherings or no-fuss breakfast catering for your own version of Whoville.
