We’ve officially made it to Thanksgiving week, which means it’s time to get that turkey out of the freezer and start prepping as many side dishes as possible. But, once that’s done and you have a second to breathe while a “Friends” Thanksgiving episode plays in the background, you can start thinking about all the new holiday releases you’re planning on trying.
Personally, I’m racing to the McDonald’s drive-thru on Dec. 2 for The Grinch Meal, and planning an evening with the $6 Tipsy Reindeer from Applebee’s to ring in the season. But, just when we thought the holiday launches couldn’t get more exciting, Krispy Kreme has debuted a new collection that might be its cutest doughnuts since last year’s Grinchmas ones.
Krispy Kreme has teamed up with the Peanuts so that our Charlie Brown Christmas is filled with three delicious new bites.
Krispy Kreme Releases New Peanuts Collection
Krispy Kreme
In honor of the Peanuts’ 75th anniversary, Charlie Brown and crew are celebrating the holidays with doughnuts. The Krispy Kreme x Peanuts Collection features three all-new doughnuts inspired by the iconic characters, plus, the return of Krispy Kreme’s two festive favorites.
The new doughnuts include a Snoopy Cookies & Kreme Doughnut, Charlie Brown Ornament Doughnut, and Christmas Wreath Doughnut. Those three will be joined by Krispy Kreme’s classic Santa Belly Doughnut and Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut.
The Snoopy Cookies & Kreme Doughnut has a Snoopy-shaped shell that’s stuffed with Cookies & Kreme filling, dipped in vanilla-flavored icing, and decorated with Snoopy’s face.
Krispy Kreme’s Charlie Brown Ornament Doughnut features a brownie batter-flavored filling topped with yellow vanilla-flavored icing and chocolate-flavored buttercreme decorated to look like Charlie Brown’s classic zigzag shirt design with an ornament hook.
Its Christmas Wreath Doughnut is an Original Glazed doughnut decorated to look like a wreath with green buttercreme, yellow sprinkles, and a Snoopy and Woodstock sugar piece. Don’t worry, the wreath is much fuller than Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree.
The Santa Belly Doughnut and Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut are unchanged this year. The Santa Belly Doughnut is filled with White Kreme and decorated to look like Santa’s coat and belt with red icing and chocolate-flavored buttercreme. And, the Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut is simply an Original Glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing with festive sprinkles.
The Peanuts Collection and returning holiday doughnuts hit Krispy Kreme stores on Nov. 29 for a limited time. You can order both the Peanuts doughnuts and holiday doughnuts à la carte or as part of a custom dozen box featuring the Peanuts characters. Additionally, a holiday six-pack will be delivered to grocery stores where Krispy Kreme doughnuts are sold.
And, good grief, there’s even more good news. The chain’s Day of Dozens is returning on Dec. 12, which lets fans get a $1 Original Glazed dozen with the purchase of any regular dozen.
The Peanuts collection won’t be around for long, so don’t be a blockhead and miss out!
