Krispy Kreme's Fourth of July Lineup is Bringing the Fireworks

This July 4th, Krispy Kreme is flaunting its stars and stripes in the form of three new delicious, patriotic-themed donut flavors. The best part? You don't even have to wait until the 4th to indulge in these tasty treats! As early as June 21, head to participating locations in the U.S to pick up individual donuts or a dozen (if you're a donut devourer like me.) If you opt out for the latter, you'll get a Fourth of July-themed box proclaiming the chain's holiday slogan, "Let sweetness ring!"

Krispy Kreme's debut flavors include the Red Velvet Sparkler Doughnut, a red velvet cake doughnut coated with cream cheese icing and decorated with candy stars and pearls. The Freedom Flag Doughnut is an Original Glazed covered in red icing, with blue sprinkles and white frosting stripes to look like the American flag. And then there's the All-American Apple Pie Doughnut, an apple cinnamon-filled unglazed shell dipped in caramel icing and a graham cracker crumb, with white icing drizzled on top. The Stars and Stripes Dozen will include three of each new doughnut, along with three Original Glazed doughnuts. They can be purchased individually, but then you'd miss out on the special Fourth of July-themed box.

To give customers a little more encouragement to get to their nearest store, Krispy Kreme is giving away a free Original Glazed doughnut on July 4 for anyone who comes into a location wearing red, white, and blue.

"Family, friends, food, fireworks ... the Fourth of July is so much fun, and our new Stars and Stripes doughnuts will let sweetness ring at any gathering — from backyard barbeques to lined sidewalks at neighborhood and community parades across the land," said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme's Global Chief Brand Officer, in a press release.

Krispy Kreme's newest promotion has already begun its countdown, and doughnut lovers only have a few short weeks to pick up the new flavors at a store!
