12 Donuts for $1 on the 12th

When customers step into Krispy Kreme on 12/12, they can double their donut delight by redeeming the offer twice for in-store purchases. However, for those opting to savor the sweetness from the comfort of their homes, a single-use promo code, "DOZEN," unlocks the $1 dozen online, saving you money when shopping for breakfast.

This promotion's star is Krispy Kreme's original glazed donuts — the famous melt-in-your-mouth perfection. While the $1 dozen is a fantastic way to stock up on these classic delights, the full-priced dozen opens the door to a magical world of Elf-inspired confections.

Elf-inspired delights: A nod to the 20th anniversary

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the beloved Christmas movie Elf, Krispy Kreme has crafted three enchanting donuts that pay homage to Buddy the Elf's whimsical adventures. These limited-time creations add an extra layer of festive joy to your donut experience. Here are the donuts you can get to celebrate (for a limited time):

Buddy Makes Breakfast. Transport yourself to one of the movie's most iconic scenes with this donut. A glazed donut is adorned with cake batter buttercream resembling spaghetti, chocolate candies, sprinkles, and a maple drizzle — a playful nod to Buddy's unique culinary creations.

Buddy Snow Globe. Immerse yourself in a winter wonderland with this glazed donut covered in light blue icing, white sprinkles, powdered sugar, and an Elf-shaped chocolate piece. It's a delightful tribute to the magic of Elf's snowy escapades.

Christmas Lights. Illuminate your taste buds with this festive creation. The canvas for green icing and rainbow sprinkles is a glazed donut dipped in chocolate icing. Topped with the iconic Elf-shaped chocolate piece, it's a colorful celebration of holiday lights.

These Elf-inspired donuts add a touch of cinematic magic to Krispy Kreme's offerings, inviting customers to experience the joy of the holiday season through the lens of a Christmas classic.
