Crisp air, falling leaves, and the flavour of autumn now come with a sweet twist. Krispy Kreme has launched a special fall fair collection to celebrate the season. The chain revealed the lineup on Monday, Sept. 15, saying it captures the fun of fairs with no ticket required.
Four Flavours Inspired by Fairs
The new range includes four limited-time creations. Each one highlights a taste often linked with fairgrounds.
- Cotton Candy Doughnut: An Original Glazed dipped in bright blue icing, rolled in cotton candy sugar, topped with a swirl of strawberry icing, and finished with cotton candy buttercreme.
- Kreme Puff Doughnut: A ring doughnut filled with rich Kreme, coated with powdered sugar, and topped with a Doughnut Dot.
- Blue Ribbon Apple Pie Doughnut: A shell doughnut packed with apple cinnamon filling, dipped in caramel icing, covered with cookie crumbs, and drizzled with white icing.
- Caramel Churro Doughnut: A doughnut coated in cinnamon sugar with a caramel icing drizzle.
Where to Find Them
The collection became available nationwide on Sept. 15. Customers can buy them in participating shops, order for pickup, or arrange delivery through Krispy Kreme’s app and website. The flavours can be purchased individually or by the dozen.
End of a Fast-Food Partnership
The announcement follows a recent shift in the company’s strategy. Earlier this summer, Krispy Kreme and McDonald’s ended their short-lived partnership.
In June, both companies confirmed the decision. McDonald’s had tested Krispy Kreme treats at more than 2,400 of its restaurants. The offerings included Original Glazed, Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles, and Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled Doughnuts. Sales ended on July 2 after the test failed to meet expectations.
What’s Next for Krispy Kreme
With that partnership over, Krispy Kreme now looks to widen its reach on its own. The brand plans to increase availability of its products through more direct channels. Meanwhile, McDonald’s will keep strengthening its breakfast menu.
A Seasonal Sweet Treat
For fans of fall flavours, the new collection arrives just in time. With caramel, cinnamon, apple, and cotton candy notes, Krispy Kreme hopes to deliver nostalgia along with sweetness. The limited-time lineup adds to the excitement of the fair season, giving customers a chance to enjoy those flavours anytime.
