This was followed by a limited-run Original Glazed Blueberry doughnut in the United States and Canada. To celebrate 30 years of the Pokémon franchise, Krispy Kreme partnered with The Pokémon Company International for a themed doughnut collection. Launching August 18, 2026, in the United States and Canada, the collection includes designs for Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and a Poké Ball. These are available individually or as a “Specialty Dozen Pack” in limited-edition packaging. At retailers such as Walmart, Kroger, and Publix, a modified six-pack including plain glazed options is offered. To promote the launch, customers wearing Pokémon merchandise at participating locations on August 22 can receive one free original glazed doughnut via in-shop or drive-thru visits. Expanding the collaboration, Krispy Kreme released a collector's box in Spain featuring four character-inspired flavors: Pikachu (lemon cream), Poké Ball (white chocolate), Jigglypuff (strawberry buttercream), and Charmander (brownie and marshmallow). Additionally, as part of its Autumn Seasonal Collection in the United States, the company scheduled a four-day promotion from August 27 to August 30 for its Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed Doughnut, allowing customers to purchase a dozen for an additional $5 when buying any regular-priced dozen. On September 10, Krispy Kreme launched new seasonal products, including an Apple Cider Original Glazed Doughnut and a “Fall & Football Dozen” to coincide with the start of the NFL regular season. The Apple Cider doughnut features dough made with real apple cider and cinnamon. Through September 13, a promotion allows customers to purchase a dozen Apple Cider Original Glazed Doughnuts for $5 with the purchase of a regularly priced dozen. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-09: Krispy Kreme launches seasonal apple cider and football-themed doughnuts Krispy Kreme is introducing Apple Cider Original Glazed Doughnuts and a Fall & Football Dozen starting September 10, featuring a limited-time $5 promotional deal. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/krispy-kreme-launches-seasonal-apple-cider-and-football-themed-doughnuts ### 2026-08-26: Krispy Kreme launches Pokémon collaboration and seasonal flavors Krispy Kreme is launching seasonal products, including a Pokémon-themed collection in Spain and a limited-time Pumpkin Spice doughnut promotion in the United States. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/krispy-kreme-launches-pokmon-collaboration-and-seasonal-flavors ### 2026-08-16: Krispy Kreme launches Pokémon doughnut collection and giveaway Krispy Kreme is launching a Pokémon Doughnut Collection and offering a free Original Glazed Doughnut on August 22, 2026, to customers wearing Pokémon attire. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/krispy-kreme-launches-pokmon-doughnut-collection-and-giveaway ### 2026-08-13: Krispy Kreme announces Pokémon-themed doughnut collection Krispy Kreme is launching a limited-edition Pokémon doughnut collection in the US and Canada starting August 18, 2026, featuring designs inspired by iconic characters and a Poké Ball. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/krispy-kreme-announces-pokmon-themed-doughnut-collection ### 2026-07-22: Krispy Kreme Launches Limited‑Time Original Glazed Blueberry Doughnut in US and Canada Krispy Kreme introduces a limited‑time Original Glazed Blueberry Doughnut (July 23‑26) in the US and Canada, offering a $5 dozen deal with a buy‑one‑dozen promotion, limited to two per guest. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/krispy-kreme-launches-limitedtime-original-glazed-blueberry-doughnut-in-us-and-canada ### 2026-07-15: Krispy Kreme Celebrates 89th Birthday with 89‑Cent Dozen and Global Birthday Freebies Krispy Kreme marks its 89th birthday on July 17 with 89‑cent Original Glazed dozens in the US and features in Melbourne’s birthday‑freebie guide. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/krispy-kreme-celebrates-89th-birthday-with-89cent-dozen-and-global-birthday-freebies --- Cite as: Krispy Kreme Pokémon collaboration and seasonal offers.
