Krispy Kreme Just Launched 4 New Doughnuts We Didn't See Coming

It seems like a year too late, but we're not mad about it.

If you’ve been anticipating the reveal of Krispy Kreme’s latest limited-edition collection with great excitement, you’re in luck. There’s usually not much of a pause between one collection ending and another beginning, but fresh doughnuts are always a reason to celebrate.

And we've had a lot of celebrating to do. Just this summer, the Paris Olympics-themed Go USA collection replaced the Passport to Paris collection, which followed the Fourth of July collection, which came after the Dolly Parton collection, which…we could go on and on, but we’ll stop reminiscing and get to the good news.

Since so many of Krispy Kreme’s delicious, limited-time collections are inspired by what’s happening at the moment, we might have thought its newest collection, dropping on September 3, would have launched in 2023, considering it was one of the buzziest movies of the year. But we should have realized that the inspiration for this new collection is timeless, and there’s a good reason for these doughnuts to delight us now.

Krispy Kreme’s New Barbie Collection Drops September 3

Barbie’s style may have changed over the decades, but she hasn’t aged a day since she was first introduced. That was 65 years ago, and to celebrate the iconic doll’s 65th birthday, Krispy Kreme is partnering with Barbie for a limited-time collection featuring four new doughnuts.

• Barbie Pink Doughnut: An Original Glazed piped with pink buttercream, sprinkled with sparkly pink sugar, and topped with Barbie sunglasses.

• Malibu Dream Party Doughnut: An unglazed shell doughnut filled with Cake Batter Kreme, dipped in Malibu blue icing and sparkly graham sand, topped with a Barbie DreamHouse piece, and piped with a white cloud.

• Barbie Berries ’n Kreme Doughnut: An unglazed shell doughnut filled with Strawberry Kreme, dipped in white icing, drizzled with purple and pink buttercream, and topped with a Barbie heart.

• Barbie Sweet 65th Doughnut: An Original Glazed Doughnut, dipped in chocolate icing, and topped with Barbie Sweet 65th sprinkles.

The doughnuts will also be available in a 6-pack featuring the Pink Doughnut, the Berries ‘n Kreme Doughnut, and the Sweet 65th Doughnut sold at select grocery stores.
