The latest food and beverage industry news and trend analysis

Krispy Kreme has announced a tactical product release designed to capitalise on the upcoming college football championship game. For one day only—Monday, 19 January—the doughnut chain is rolling out a Championship Dozen featuring team-specific colourways.


The launch is positioned to capture the "watch party" consumption occasion, offering fans a thematic treat that aligns with the specific colours of the competing teams (Orange and Crimson).



Product Architecture and Customisation

The limited-edition dozen is structured to offer a mix of novelty and core product. It comprises six football-shaped doughnuts and six of the brand's signature Original Glazed® rings.


The Thematic SKUs:

  • 🟠 Orange Football Doughnut: An unglazed shell filled with white Kreme™, dipped in orange-coloured vanilla icing and finished with green icing laces.

  • 🔴 Crimson Football Doughnut: An unglazed shell filled with white Kreme™, dipped in crimson-coloured chocolate icing and detailed with white icing laces.


While the pre-packed dozen features an even split (three orange, three crimson), Krispy Kreme has confirmed that guests building their own dozens can customise the ratio, ordering up to six of either colour to align with their specific team allegiance.



Promotional Volume Driver

To drive volume sales leading up to the game, Krispy Kreme is activating a targeted price promotion running from Friday, 16 January, through Monday, 19 January.


  • The Deal: Customers who purchase any dozen (including the Championship Dozen on Monday) can acquire an additional Original Glazed® dozen for $1.


  • Constraints: The offer is limited to two redemptions per guest, designed to prevent inventory depletion while encouraging bulk purchasing for group gatherings.
