Krispy Kreme locations nationwide will be offering limited-time Grinch Green Original Glazed donuts inspired by The Grinch.
Customers can celebrate Friday the 13th by walking into one of the participating US Krispy Kreme locations and receive a dozen green-colored glazed donut.
Krispy Kreme claimed its donuts turned green after The Grinch ‘snuck in’ and messed with its mix and glazers.
Fans of the donut chain can receive a dozen Grinch Green Original Glazed donuts for free with a purchase of any dozen at regular price.
The deal is only available in-shop and through drive-thru and its limited to two dozen per guest while supplies last.
Customers who aren’t able to get a Grinch Green donut today will have until tomorrow to redeem the deal.
Participating locations nationwide just finished its Day of the Dozens deal, offering a free Original Glazed dozen with a regular dozen donut purchase on December 12.
Krispy Kreme also unveiled its new limited-time ‘Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection’ on November 29.

The limited-time green-colored glazed donuts were inspired by popular holiday character ‘The Grinch’
The Grinch has been featured in multiple videos Krispy Kreme posted on its Instagram and TikTok.
The fan-favorite Christmas character tried the five limited-time donuts and praised each treat after taking a bite.
One of the treats he spoke highly of was the Santa Belly Doughnut – his ‘worst nightmare’ that makes a great donut.
The Grinch also revealed he had at least seven boxes of a dozen donuts from the Grinchmas Doughnut collection in his pantry in a December 2 video.
He referred to those boxes and the other Krispy Kreme products as ‘this week’s meals’ and claimed it took ‘hard work’ to get them.
The collection features five kinds of donuts: Grinch Doughnut, Grinchy Claus Doughnut, Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Doughnut, Santa Belly Doughnut, and Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut.
Krispy Kreme confirmed in a November 25 news release the Grinch, Grinchy Claus, and Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Doughnuts were all new.

While the Grinch Doughnut may not be fully green, it is an unglazed donut with cookies & Kreme filling with green icing, buttercream hair, and a grin inspired by the character’s face.
The Grinchy Claus Doughnut is a glazed treat dipped in chocolate icing with white buttercream and various holiday-themed toppins, including a Grinch piece.
Customers interested in the Cindy-Lo Who-themed donut can enjoy a glazed donut with strawberry-flavored icing and a buttercream tree topped with sprinkles and a star piece.
The Santa Belly Doughnut, which proved to be a big hit for the beloved Grinch, is a returning white-Kreme unglazed donut with red icing and a design inspired by the Santa Clause suit.
The Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut may be a good option for customers looking for a simple treat.
Like The Santa Belly, the Holiday Sprinkle treat is a returning item, but it is glazed with chocolate icing and holiday sprinkles.
‘Our Merry Grinchmas doughnuts are guaranteed to make even the Grinchiest Grinch smile,’ said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme Global Chief Brand Officer.
The ‘Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection’ is available until December 24 at stores nationwide while supplies last.
The collection has been so popular that several Instagram users claimed their local Krispy Kreme stores ‘ran out.’
