Sweeter Mornings Ahead: Krispy Kreme Donuts Coming to McDonald’s Nationwide

Get ready for a breakfast (and beyond!) gamechanger! McDonald’s announced a sweet partnership with Krispy Kreme, bringing their iconic donuts to their restaurants. This venture is slated to kick off later this year and be nationwide by the end of 2026.

McDonald’s will feature three popular Krispy Kreme donut varieties: the classic original glazed, the chocolate iced with sprinkles, and the chocolate iced kreme-filled donuts. These delicious treats will be available all day, individually or by the half-dozen, so you can satisfy your sweet tooth whenever it strikes.

This collaboration is a win-win for both brands. McDonald’s CMO Tariq Hassan sees it as a chance to expand their breakfast offerings and cater to customers throughout the day. For Krispy Kreme, CEO Josh Charlesworth says it directly addresses their customers’ biggest request: wider availability. By teaming up with McDonald’s massive reach, Krispy Kreme can bring their donuts and “Krispy Kreme happiness” to fans everywhere.

This is a sweet deal for donut lovers! Keep an eye out for Krispy Kreme donuts at your local McDonald’s later this year.
