Krispy Kreme Unveils the 'Ho Ho Holiday!' Doughnut Series

As the holiday season approaches, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Japan (KKDJ) is set to delight doughnut enthusiasts with its playful 'Ho Ho Holiday!' series. Launching on November 19, 2025, this limited-edition collection will be available at all Krispy Kreme locations, excluding certain events and non-KKD retail outlets.

This year's theme, 'Ho Ho Holiday!', promises to bring joy and excitement akin to opening a present. The series will feature an adorable lineup of festive characters, including the classic Santa Claus, a popular snowman, and the long-awaited return of the charming Milk Tea Bear, now enhanced with a rich flavor.

Fun and Festive Designs

The star of the show, the Santa doughnut, is uniquely designed as two separate pieces: the 'face' and 'body'. When placed together, they create a full-bodied Santa, encouraging a playful interaction with the treat. The body of Santa can also be combined with the Milk Tea Bear to create a 'Santa Bear', making the holiday experience even more enjoyable.

This collection is perfect for gifting, as it captures the special essence of Christmas, ensuring the utmost delight for family and friends.

Santa Custard Doughnut: Dressed in a milky white chocolate coating, this doughnut features a striking red strawberry glaze for its hat and rosy nose. White crunch pieces depict Santa's fluffy beard, while bittersweet chocolate adds expressive eyes. Inside, a gentle custard cream made with rich Hokkaido milk awaits.

Strawberry Holiday Belt Doughnut: This design captures the essence of Santa's outfit. A fluffy doughnut coated in milky white chocolate is layered with a bold red strawberry glaze, while white chocolate buttons and a bittersweet chocolate belt complete the look. Displayed vertically with the Santa Custard doughnut, they create a whimsical 'full-body Santa'.

Chocolate Snowman: A returning winter favorite, this doughnut boasts a smooth white chocolate layer reminiscent of freshly fallen snow. Inside is a rich chocolate cream filled with decadent ganache. A cheerful smile made from bittersweet chocolate paired with a strawberry glaze scarf adds a festive touch.

Rich Milk Tea Bear: A delightful option for tea lovers, this soft doughnut is filled with luxurious royal milk tea cream and coated in a fragrant milk tea layer. Adorned with cute white chocolate ears, a bittersweet chocolate face, and delightful little eyes, it’s as sweet as it is flavorful. Combine it with the Strawberry Holiday Belt for a festive bear look!

Holiday Assortments and Special Offerings

In addition to these four delightful holiday doughnuts, KKDJ is introducing a 'Holiday Dozen Half' (6 pieces) featuring their famous Original Glazed® and the ever-popular Chocolate Sprinkle, all presented in a charming winter-themed package. An exclusive 'Holiday Dozen' (12 pieces) is also available, designed for sharing and ensuring everyone has a taste of the festive treats.

The festive favorite, the 'Kome-Dough Stollen', will also make a return.
