Krispy Kreme Just Dropped An Apple Cider Donut & A $5 Deal For Football Season

Fall and football season are both here, and Krispy Kreme is celebrating with a new doughnut flavor, a game day box, and a deal that’s worth planning your week around. Starting Thursday, September 10, you can get your hands on the NEW Apple Cider Original Glazed Doughnut along with the Fall & Football Dozen, a box built for tailgates, watch parties, and every other fall hangout on your calendar.

The Deal: A Dozen Apple Cider Doughnuts for Just $5

Here’s the part that matters most if you’re trying to stretch your money further this season. For four days only, September 10-13, you can score a dozen Apple Cider Original Glazed Doughnuts for just $5 when you buy any dozen at regular price at participating Krispy Kreme shops. That’s a full dozen of the new seasonal flavor for the price of a fast food combo meal, and it’s only around for a long weekend, so don’t sleep on it.

What Makes the Apple Cider Original Glazed Doughnut Different

This isn’t just a fall-themed name slapped on the classic doughnut. The new flavor is built from apple cider dough, spiced with cinnamon, and finished with Krispy Kreme’s signature glaze. It follows the same playbook that made the brand’s Original Glazed Blueberry Flavored Doughnut a hit back in July, taking the doughnut everyone already loves and giving it a seasonal twist that actually tastes like the season.

Meet the Fall & Football Dozen

If you’re hosting or heading to a watch party this fall, this box is designed for exactly that. The Fall & Football Dozen packs four different doughnuts into one lineup built around kickoff season:

• 4 Football Doughnuts – a football-shaped unglazed shell filled with smooth, white Kreme, dipped in chocolate icing and finished with white icing football laces
• 3 Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnuts – an Original Glazed Old Fashioned cake doughnut featuring pumpkin spice flavor
• 2 Maple Cheesecake Doughnuts – an unglazed shell doughnut filled with cheesecake Kreme, dipped in maple icing and topped with graham-flavored crunch and maple drizzle
• 3 Original Glazed Doughnuts – the classic, hot, fresh and melt-in-your-mouth doughnut Krispy Kreme is known for

Why Krispy Kreme Is Leaning Into Fall Right Now

“Fall is full of rituals people look forward to – apple cider, game day, watch parties and sharing moments with friends,” said Alison Holder, Chief Product and Brand Officer at Krispy Kreme. “With Apple Cider Original Glazed® and our Fall & Football Dozen, we’re giving fans a delicious new way to celebrate the season, whether they’re heading to a tailgate or settling in for kickoff.”

It’s Part of a Bigger Fall Lineup

The Apple Cider Original Glazed Doughnut and the Fall & Football Dozen aren’t standalone releases. They’re joining Krispy Kreme’s Autumn Seasonal Collection, which launched back in August with a run of seasonal doughnuts and beverages built around fall flavors and comfort food vibes. So if you’re already a regular at your local shop, there’s more than just this one deal worth checking out on the menu right now.

Bottom Line

If you’re into fast food deals, seasonal flavors, or just need an excuse to grab doughnuts before the game, this one checks every box. The window is short (Sept. 10-13 only), the price is right ($5 for a dozen with any dozen purchase), and the new flavor sounds like it’s worth the trip on its own. Head to a participating Krispy Kreme shop before the deal wraps up.
