Krispy Kreme Has 4 New Doughnuts In Mind-Blowing Flavors

Now that Halloween is in the rearview mirror and Christmas is still almost two months away, the Super Bowl of eating is on the horizon. We’re talking, of course, about Thanksgiving. And our favorite holiday is the latest thing to inspire a limited-time Krispy Kreme collection.

Last month, we were delighted to bite into the Ghostbusters Collection, which paid tribute to icons Slimer and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, the latter with appropriately marshmallow-flavored buttercream. And before that, in September, the Barbie Collection launched to celebrate the doll’s 65th birthday with suitably pink-forward designs.

To say that this has been a stunning year for the chain’s collections is an understatement. They’ve also included Dr. Pepper-flavored doughnuts and a collaboration with Dolly Parton that featured a banana pudding-inspired treat. In terms of both visual aesthetics and flavors, the brand continues to top itself.

Krispy Kreme’s New Thanksgiving Pies Doughnut Collection

Compared to some flashy collabs lately (looking at you, Oreo and Coke), the Thanksgiving Pies Doughnut Collection is a bit more traditional. But when it kicks off on Nov. 7, we’ll be waiting in line for silky, creamy, and crumbly treasures. Why? To try them out before we potentially replace our home-baked pies with doughnuts for all on Thanksgiving Day, the last day the sweets will be available.

It’s a real possibility. After all, these doughnuts are modeled on our family favorites (though sweet potato and pumpkin versions are notable omissions). All the same, we’re salivating for the four doughnuts that are on the roster:

  • Chocolate Silk Pie Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing, topped with chocolate buttercream and chocolate curls.
  • Lemon Creme Pie Doughnut: An unglazed shell doughnut filled with lemon pie filling, dipped in lemon yellow icing and graham crunch, topped with a meringue buttercreme dollop. 
  • Blueberry Crisp Doughnut: An unglazed shell doughnut with blueberry filling, dipped in blueberry icing and streusel topping. 
  • Apple Crumble Doughnut: An unglazed shell doughnut with apple pie filling, topped with pie crust buttercream and cinnamon cookie crumb topping.

How do you decide between these tantalizing options? You don’t! At your local Krispy Kreme, order them all, or head to any grocery store that carries the brand for a six-pack of Thanksgiving Pies doughnuts.

If you’re feeding a crowd this Thanksgiving, this could certainly be a sweet new addition to the dessert spread.
