Krispy Kreme Reveals Holiday Doughnut Lineup Including 3 New Treats Inspired by “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”
The Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection comes with three new character-inspired treats and two returning holiday doughnuts
Krispy Kreme’s sweet holiday offerings make it hard to be a Grinch this holiday season.
The bakery chain is offering three new How the Grinch Stole Christmas!-themed doughnuts and two returning holiday treats starting on Friday, Nov. 29.
The doughnuts in the Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection are each inspired by a different character from the iconic Dr. Seuss story: Grinch Doughnut, Grinchy Claus Doughnut and Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Doughnut.
The titular doughnut fills an unglazed doughnut with “coal”-like cookies and cream filling. It is dipped in Grinch-green icing with a frosting smirk, tuft of hair and the classic yellow eyes.
The Grinchy Claus Doughnut is an original glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing. There is a buttercream squiggle, red, green and white sprinkles and a Grinch decoration on top of each doughnut.
The Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Doughnut is unlike the other two in the collection because it doesn’t have any of the Grinch’s characteristics. An original glazed donut is dipped in strawberry icing and decorated with a green buttercream tree, sprinkle ornaments and a golden star on top.
Each box of the Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection will also come with the Santa Belly Doughnut and Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut —two fan-favorite treats.

The Santa Belly Doughnut is an unglazed doughnut filled with white cream, dipped in red icing and decorated with a frosting belt. Fans who prefer a glazed doughnut can opt for the Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut, which is dipped in chocolate icing and holiday sprinkles.
