Forget pumpkin spice season; football season is upon us and now, Krispy Kreme is celebrating with a new collection — and a brand-new collaboration. On Thursday, Krispy Kreme announced that they have teamed up with Dr Pepper for the first time for an all-new doughnut, the Dr Pepper Doughnut. The new offering is joined by the new Buttercreme Goals Doughnut and the returning, fan-favorite Football Doughnut. The new doughnuts will be available beginning Friday, August 23rd for a limited time at Krispy Kreme locations across the U.S.

The new Dr Pepper Kickoff Doughnut marks Krispy Kreme's first collaboration with Dr Pepper. The doughnut is an Original Glazed Doughnut piped with Dr Pepper flavored frosting and features a Burgundy Sprinkle Blend topped with a white chocolate Dr Pepper logo. The new Buttercreme Goals Doughnut is also an Original Glazed, this one dipped in green icing, topped with colorful sprinkles and a yellow buttercreme flavored goal post. And as for the returning favorite, the Kreme Filled Football Doughnut is an unglazed doughnut filled with white Kreme that's been dipped in chocolate icing and decorated to look like a football. The collection is available in shop for pick-up and delivery via Krispy Kreme's app and website. It can also be purchased in a Krispy Kreme custom half-dozen box delivered fresh daily to select retailers.
