Krispy Kreme & “Elf” Partner For New Line Commemorating 20th Anniversary Of The Movie

Krispy Kreme is teaming up with Buddy the Elf for a new collaboration commemorating the 20th anniversary of the film.

The partnership will produce a new line of doughnuts inspired by the adored holiday character, who made his theater debut in 2003. The Elf line debuted on November 24th, inspired by the comedy. Customers have three new flavors to choose from, which are appropriately named the Buddy Snow Globe, the Buddy Makes Breakfast, and the Christmas Lights. As part of the new menu, Krispy Kreme will also bring back the Santa Belly donut.

The new three donuts all put a spin on the Krispy Kreme original glaze donut. Those who go for the Buddy Snow Globe option will be met with sugar-cookie light blue icing that is finished with white sprinkles and powdered sugar. The Buddy Makes Breakfast donut is draped in a unique blend of cake batter spaghetti buttercream, sprinkles, milk chocolate pieces, and maple drizzle. The Christmas Lights also uses milk chocolate with decorative green icing, rainbow sprinkles, and a cute Elf piece. Returning for another year, the Santa Belly donut is stuffed with delicious cookies and cream filling, with bright red icing on top, decorated to resemble Santa’s famous belt.

The festive breakfast snacks are meant to bring joy to both Krispy Kreme lovers and Buddy the Elf this season.

“Smiling is Buddy the Elf’s ‘favorite,’ and ours, too. We know our fans are going to smile a lot when they spread holiday cheer to family and friends all season long with our ‘Elf’ holiday collection,” shared Krispy Kreme global chief brand officer Dave Skena.

The Elf line will be available at participating locations through December 14th.
