Your Thanksgiving dinner menu may be on its way to being set, but if you’re still trying to determine just what you’ll want for dessert or for breakfast the morning of, Krispy Kreme has a treat for you. The brand, which is no stranger to giving fans good holiday-themed doughnuts to indulge in, has an all-new Thanksgiving lineup that’s sure to cure your sweet tooth.

Fresh off the heels of their spooktastic Halloween-inspired donuts, Krispy Kreme is introducing four new flavorful options right in time for your big feast. The “Gobbles of Gratitude” Thanksgiving Collection will feature tasty options including a Pecan Pie Doughnut, Cranberry Orange Doughnut, Dutch Apple Pie Doughnut, and a Gobbler Doughnut. Yum.

So what can you expect when enjoying each of the deliciously sweet treats? Well, if the Pecan Pie Doughnut is the one that piqued your taste buds’ interests, you’ll be happy to know that this is an Original Glazed Doughnut dipped in a butter tart filling and sprinkled with a candied pecan and pie crust crumble mixture. The Cranberry Orange Doughnut, on the other hand, delivers a cranberry-filled, cranberry orange icing-dipped doughnut that’s topped with an icing drizzle for a vibrant and citrusy taste.

The Dutch Apple Pie Doughnut (which is sure to be my favorite of the lot) includes an apple pie filling and is dipped in caramel icing before being topped with cinnamon and decorated with an icing lattice. And lastly, for those of you who love fun-shaped goodies, the Gobble Doughnut is a heart-shaped doughnut dipped in chocolate icing and decorated with the brand’s signature chocolate Kreme, festive sprinkles, and a Turkey face fondant.

If you’re ready to gobble these limited-edition doughnuts up today, you’re in luck because they are available now at Krispy Kreme locations nationwide. And, if you get there before they run out, you can even get them in the custom gratitude box that comes equipped with a space for you to write a special note to your loved one.
