Krispy Kreme had a year full of surprises in 2024. The renowned doughnut chain not only unveiled a series of exciting collaborations such as Barbie-inspired doughnuts and Ghostbuster-themed treats for Halloween but also delighted its loyal fans with complimentary doughnuts throughout the year. Adding to the excitement, Krispy Kreme’s iconic Original Glazed doughnut played a starring role in one of the most beloved desserts of the year.
Another brand that had a standout year in 2024 was Pop-Tarts. The sugary, fruity pastries found themselves at the center of a social media phenomenon where home cooks raved about enhancing the flavor of their Pop-Tarts by adding butter. Additionally, Pop-Tarts introduced oversized versions of its popular toaster pastries and re-released the fan-favorite cinnamon roll variety for a limited time.
In an unprecedented move, these two breakfast icons have come together for a special collaboration that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. The much-anticipated Krispy Kreme and Pop-Tarts Doughnut Collaboration is set to launch on January 6th, featuring three innovative doughnuts that combine the best elements of Krispy Kreme’s expertise in doughnut making with the beloved flavors of Pop-Tarts pastries. As expected, the new doughnuts will showcase Pop-Tarts’ most cherished flavors in delectable doughnut form: Frosted Strawberry Doughnut, Frosted Chocolatey Fudge Doughnut, and Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Doughnut.
The Frosted Strawberry Doughnut boasts a luscious strawberry filling, coated in shortbread icing, and adorned with shortbread pieces, sprinkles, strawberry drizzle, and a piece of Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts. Meanwhile, the Frosted Chocolatey Fudge Doughnut features Krispy Kreme’s signature Original Glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing and crowned with brownie batter buttercream along with crushed Frosted Chocolatey Fudge Pop-Tarts Bites. Lastly, the Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Doughnut offers a delectable blend of cinnamon-sugar doughnut topped with brown sugar cinnamon cream cheese-flavored buttercream and a piece of Frosted Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts Bites.
The newly introduced Pop-Tarts doughnuts will be available at select Krispy Kreme locations as well as major retailers including Publix, Walmart, Albertsons, and Target.
