January 19, 2026

Krispy Kreme has stepped into game-day excitement with a special doughnut release tied to the college football national championship. As fans prepare to watch the Indiana Hoosiers face the Miami Hurricanes, the popular doughnut chain has introduced a limited-time box called the Championship Dozen.

The new offering aims to bring a festive touch to watch parties and family gatherings ahead of Monday’s championship game.

What’s Inside the Championship Dozen

The Championship Dozen includes 12 doughnuts, mixing classic favourites with game-themed designs. Half of the box features the well-known Original Glazed doughnuts. The remaining six come shaped like footballs and dressed in team colours.

Three football doughnuts appear in crimson to represent top-ranked Indiana, while the other three come in bright orange to match Miami’s colours. Each football-shaped doughnut comes filled with white Kreme and topped with icing styled like football laces. The crimson doughnuts use chocolate icing, while the orange ones feature vanilla icing.

Krispy Kreme said the new assortment adds excitement to game day. “Whether you’re cheering from home or gathering with family and friends for the game, Krispy Kreme's Championship Dozen lets fans show off their game-day spirit,” the company said in a January 16 statement.

Custom Options for Team Loyalty

Fans who strongly support one team can adjust their order. Customers can choose up to six football doughnuts in either crimson or orange if they prefer to highlight a single team. This option allows households to match their treats with their game-day colours.

The Championship Dozen will only be available on Monday, January 19, making it a one-day-only release tied directly to the championship game.

Popular $1 Dozen Deal Gets Extended

Alongside the themed doughnuts, Krispy Kreme has also extended its popular buy-one-get-one offer. Customers who purchase any dozen doughnuts can add an Original Glazed dozen for just $1.

This deal runs through Martin Luther King Jr. Day and applies to all dozen purchases, including the Championship Dozen. The offer limits customers to two discounted dozens per person.

How to Get the Deals

Customers can pick up both the Championship Dozen and the $1 dozen offer in-store or order through delivery using the company’s app or website. Availability may vary by location, so customers are encouraged to order early, especially on championship day.

With bold colours, classic flavours, and a limited-time discount, Krispy Kreme is aiming to become part of fans’ game-day traditions this season.
