For Thanksgiving, Krispy Kreme Turns Holiday Desserts Into Berry Cobbler, Caramel Pumpkin And Double Chocolate Crumble Doughnuts, November 12 Through Thanksgiving Day

Krispy Kreme’s Thanksgiving Collection goes on sale Thursday, November 12, with three new doughnuts built on holiday desserts: Berry Cobbler, Caramel Pumpkin and Double Chocolate Crumble. The Cinnamon Apple Filled Doughnut returns alongside them. All four are at participating shops nationwide through Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, while supplies last, according to the company’s November 11 announcement.

The four Thanksgiving doughnuts

Krispy Kreme says it gave some of the season’s favorite desserts a doughnut twist. Here’s what’s in each one.

• Berry Cobbler (new): an unglazed doughnut with a raspberry-flavored filling, dipped in mixed berry icing and a mixed berry oat crumble.
• Caramel Pumpkin (new): an Original Glazed doughnut dipped in caramel icing and pumpkin spice cookies, then topped with pumpkin cream frosting and a light dusting of cinnamon.
• Double Chocolate Crumble (new): an unglazed doughnut filled with a fudgy chocolate creme, dipped in chocolate icing and cookie crumbles.
• Cinnamon Apple Filled (returning): an unglazed doughnut tossed in a powdered cinnamon coating and filled with apple cinnamon filling.

Krispy Kreme pitches the lineup at hosts, guests and anyone who signed up to bring dessert to a Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving table without planning to bake it. “The holiday should be about spending time together, not hours in the kitchen,” said Alison Holder, the company’s chief brand and product officer.

How to order, and what it costs

The doughnuts are sold one at a time or by the dozen, in shops and for pickup or delivery through Krispy Kreme’s app and website. Not every shop takes part, so the shop locator is the place to check before a trip.

The Thanksgiving doughnuts follow Krispy Kreme’s holiday collection, which arrived November 4 with Hot Cocoa, Sugar Cookie and Caramel Toffee Cheesecake doughnuts for the Christmas season.

The same flavors, baked at home

For a dessert with an oven involved, the collection’s flavors line up with a few of our fall cookies. Our Peach Cobbler Cookies take the cobbler idea in a different fruit direction, with caramelized peaches folded into a cinnamon brown sugar dough and a cream cheese frosting on top. The pumpkin and cinnamon pairing in the Caramel Pumpkin doughnut runs through our Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies, made with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice and rolled in cinnamon sugar. And for a pumpkin dessert with chocolate in it, our Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies start from browned butter and pumpkin puree.
