McDonald’s has just announced some huge news – they’ve partnered with Krispy Kreme and will soon be selling their famous doughnuts across the US!
By the end of 2026, you’ll be able to buy a fresh Krispy Kreme at all participating restaurants nationwide, and there will be three different options on offer.
McDonald’s partners with Krispy Kreme
“The Golden Arches and Krispy Kreme, one of the most beloved sweet treat brands in the world, are teaming up for a national expansion,” McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme said in a press release.
“Fans will begin spotting Krispy Kreme doughnuts in their local McDonald’s restaurants later this year as part of a phased market rollout across the country.”
The doughnuts will be delivered fresh to McDonald’s restaurants every day and be available to buy individually, or in boxes of six, starting at breakfast and continuing throughout the day while supplies last.
This nationwide rollout follows a successful test at 160 McDonald’s restaurants in the Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky areas.
“Partnering with McDonald’s on a national scale will provide our fans and doughnut lovers unprecedented daily access to fresh doughnuts and the joy that is Krispy Kreme,” said Krispy Kreme President and CEO Josh Charlesworth.
Three doughnuts will be available
All participating McDonald’s restaurants will sell three of Krispy Kreme’s most popular doughnuts:
- The iconic Original Glazed Doughnut: A melt-in-your-mouth doughnut covered in Krispy Kreme’s signature glaze. The doughnut that started it all.
- The Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles Doughnut: A chocolatey twist on the original, dipped in chocolate icing and covered in rainbow sprinkles.
- The Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled Doughnut: Made with a light, fluffy dough and filled with a smooth Kreme™ filling then dipped in chocolate icing.
The announcement comes as McDonald’s had just brought back one much-loved spicy menu item for a limited time.
People can’t wait for the collab
Many have been taking to Twitter/X to react to the collaboration, and it’s safe to say people are really excited.
One person wrote: “Krispy Kreme and McDonalds. The collab we didn’t know we needed but are getting.”
“Krispy Kreme doughnuts to be sold in McDonalds. Yes, please, I’ll take ’em all!” said another.
A third person added: “MCDONALDS IS STARTING TO SERVE KRISPY KREME omg.”
Others say the return of the Snack Wrap would have been better news, but the Krispy Kreme partnership is still great.
The popular menu item included chicken, lettuce, shredded cheese, and sauce all wrapped inside a warm tortilla and was discontinued in 2016.
