Fans unlocked the return of the fan-favorite Strawberry Glazed Doughnuts by helping Krispy Kreme achieve a "high score" of giving away 45,000 free Original Glazed® Doughnuts between May 12 and 18 during Hot Light hours. The giveaway was part of Krispy Kreme's celebration of PAC-MAN's 45th birthday and honoring PAC-MAN's love of fruit, according to a press release.

As a result, the brand will bring back its Strawberry Original Glazed Doughnut Friday, May 30 through Sunday, June 1 only.

Introduced in 2020 and last offered in August 2023, this will be just the fourth time Krispy Kreme has offered Strawberry Glazed Doughnuts — an Original Glazed® Doughnut transformed by a vibrant strawberry glaze with sweet strawberry flavor. The doughnuts will be available in-shop and for pickup or delivery via Krispy Kreme's app and website at participating shops.

Krispy Kreme has also launched its PAC-MAN collections, doughnuts inspired by the game's characters.

This Thursday, May 22, Krispy Kreme will celebrate PAC-MAN's official birthday by offering a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for just 25 cents with the purchase of any dozen at regular price.

Krispy Kreme is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. The brand has more than 17,500 fresh points of access.
