What are the holiday flavors?

The Sugar Cookie Doughnut​ is an Original Glazed doughnut iced with sugar cookie icing and topped with a sugar cookie sprinkle blend, which will go great with a glass of milk.

If your favorite tradition is building a gingerbread house or decorating gingerbread men, look no further than the new Gingerbread Cookie Crumb Doughnut​. It’s a doughnut filled with gingerbread cream cheese, dipped in white icing, topped with gingerbread cookie crumbs and a holiday sprinkle blend, and finally drizzled with gingerbread icing.​

Last but not least, get in the Christmas spirit with a glazed Red Velvet Cake Doughnut topped with cream cheese icing and red velvet cake crumbles.​
