The new offerings include the Snoopy Cookies & Kreme Doughnut, Charlie Brown Ornament Doughnut, and Christmas Wreath Doughnut, all packaged in a custom Peanuts-themed box.

The Snoopy Cookies & Kreme Doughnut is shaped like Snoopy, filled with Cookies & Kreme, dipped in vanilla icing, and decorated with Snoopy's face. The Charlie Brown Ornament Doughnut features a shell filled with brownie batter, dipped in yellow icing, and topped with a chocolate zig-zag resembling Charlie Brown's iconic shirt. The Christmas Wreath Doughnut is an Original Glazed doughnut adorned with green buttercream, yellow sprinkles, and a sugar piece depicting Snoopy and Woodstock. Returning to the collection are the Santa Belly Doughnut, filled with White Kreme and decorated to resemble Santa's belt, and the Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut, an Original Glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing and topped with festive sprinkles.
Availability and Promotions
The Krispy Kreme x Peanuts Collection will be available at participating Krispy Kreme locations across the United States until Christmas Eve, December 24, 2025.
