Krispy Kreme Seasonal Menu 2026 — Every Limited-Time Flavor

Every Krispy Kreme seasonal and limited-time doughnut in 2026 — spring collections, HERSHEY'S collaborations, holiday drops, and when to find them.

By Sarah Mitchell|May 22, 2026

Krispy Kreme's seasonal program is one of the most exciting things about visiting the chain. New limited-time drops arrive 4 to 6 times per year tied to major holidays and flavor trends. In my experience tracking these releases, seasonal Krispy Kreme doughnuts sell out faster than almost any other fast food limited-time item. Knowing what is coming and when is the key to not missing out.

Important: Seasonal items are only available for a limited number of weeks. Availability varies by location. Always check the official Krispy Kreme app for what is currently available near you before making a special trip.
