Krispy Kreme Kicks Off 2026 With A Cozy New Winter Doughnut Lineup

If winter has you craving comfort food, Krispy Kreme is leaning all the way in. The doughnut giant has officially launched its Winter Seasonal Collection, a limited-time lineup packed with rich, indulgent flavors designed to keep you warm, happy, and fully stocked on sugar.

This new drop isn’t just a one-off either. It marks the beginning of Krispy Kreme’s year-round campaign of rotating seasonal doughnuts, meaning fresh flavor lineups are coming for every season ahead.

Four All-New Doughnuts Designed for Cold-Weather Cravings

Starting Tuesday, January 6, the Winter Seasonal Collection is available for a limited time at participating Krispy Kreme locations across the U.S. The lineup delivers four brand-new doughnuts that hit all the right notes for winter comfort.

Here’s what’s in the box:

• Chocolate Truffle Doughnut – An unglazed doughnut filled with chocolate truffle flavored Kreme, dipped in chocolate icing, drizzled with chocolate icing, and topped with chocolate chips
• Raspberry Cheesecake Doughnut – An unglazed doughnut dipped in raspberry-flavored icing and graham crunch, finished with cheesecake flavored buttercreme
• Caramel Dulce Doughnut – An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in caramel icing with a salted caramel dulce drizzle
• Cinnamon Sugar Cake Doughnut – An Original Glazed cinnamon old fashioned cake doughnut

Whether you’re a chocolate guy, a cinnamon fan, or someone who doesn’t mind a little fruit mixed with dessert, there’s something here worth grabbing by the dozen.

A Bigger Seasonal Strategy From Krispy Kreme

The Winter Seasonal Collection is part of Krispy Kreme’s recent menu refresh and expansion, which introduced new everyday flavors and a rotating slate of seasonal offerings. The plan is to roll out five limited-time seasonal lineups throughout the year, covering winter, spring, summer, fall, and the holidays.

Translation: there’s always going to be something new to try, and an excuse to show up with a box of doughnuts.

Krispy Kreme Explains the Winter Flavor Play

“Is there a better season to cozy up to indulgence than winter?” said Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer. “Our new Winter Seasonal Collection flavors – from cinnamon to caramel and chocolate to raspberry – are some of the most popular tastes and craves of the season. Make sure to try them before winter melts away!”

How to Get Them (and What to Pair Them With)

Krispy Kreme’s Winter Seasonal Collection is available in-shop, as well as for pickup or delivery through the Krispy Kreme app and website, either individually or by the dozen.

To fully lean into winter mode, guests can also pair their doughnuts with Krispy Kreme’s Caramel Vanilla Latte or Caramel Brown Sugar Latte, available hot, iced, or frozen.

So much for losing weight in the new year.. 🙂
