CHARLOTTE, NC — Krispy Kreme is greeting the Christmas season by incorporating the beloved Dr. Suess story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, into its newest collection.
Customers can now find the new Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection at participating Krispy Kreme locations for a limited time. The themed assortment features three new donuts based on characters from the Christmas classic in addition to two returning favorites.
“Merry Grinchmas doughnuts are guaranteed to make even the Grinchiest Grinch smile,” said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme’s global chief brand officer. “At Krispy Kreme, you’re a sweet one, Mr. Grinch!”
