Krispy Kreme’s First-Ever Orange Dreamsicle Donut Is Here — But Only Through This Weekend

Krispy Kreme’s First-Ever Orange Dreamsicle Donut Is Here — But Only Through This Weekend

Healthy Fact of the Day

Treating yourself to a seasonal donut is one of life’s small joys — and with a $5 dozen deal, it’s easy to end up with more than you planned on. If you’re sharing with a group, that’s the perfect scenario. If you’re going solo, consider portioning a few out for the week and freezing the rest — yeast donuts freeze surprisingly well when wrapped tightly and can be refreshed in a few seconds in the microwave. Enjoying one or two mindfully beats eating through a box in one sitting.

The window is closing fast.

Krispy Kreme launched its brand-new Orange Dreamsicle Original Glazed doughnuts this past Thursday, and they’re only available through Sunday, May 17, at participating locations. That means you have today and tomorrow to get them — and a $5 dozen deal to sweeten the trip.

A First-Ever Flavor for Krispy Kreme

This isn’t a returning fan favorite or a seasonal callback. The Orange Dreamsicle Original Glazed is a completely new flavor — the first time Krispy Kreme has put an orange-and-cream glaze on its iconic Original Glazed doughnut.

The concept is exactly what it sounds like: the airy, melt-in-your-mouth Original Glazed base coated in a glaze that blends bright citrus and smooth vanilla — a direct nod to the classic orange Dreamsicle ice cream bar. It’s summer in donut form, and at four days of availability total, it may be the most fleeting Krispy Kreme release of the year.

“Summer flavors have a way of sparking instant happiness,” said Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme’s Chief Brand and Product Officer. “Our first-ever Orange Dreamsicle Original Glazed doughnuts are here to deliver that feel-good flavor now.”

The $5 Dozen Deal

Krispy Kreme is running a deal alongside the launch: buy any dozen doughnuts at regular price and get a dozen Orange Dreamsicle Original Glazed for just $5. That works out to roughly 42 cents per doughnut on the second dozen — one of the better donut deals of the season.

Here’s how to get it:

  • In-shop or drive-thru: Available today and tomorrow while supplies last. Limit of two Orange Dreamsicle dozens per guest at the promotional price.
  • Online (app or website): Enter promo code ORANGE at checkout. Limit one per guest online.

How to Find a Participating Location

Not every Krispy Kreme location carries the Orange Dreamsicle doughnuts. Use the shop locator at krispykreme.com to confirm your nearest participating location before making the trip — especially if you’re planning to go Sunday.

Don’t Wait Until Tomorrow

Four-day windows at Krispy Kreme move fast, and the Orange Dreamsicle promotion is already on its second-to-last day. Given that this is a first-ever flavor — not a returning item with a known pattern — there’s no guarantee it’ll be back next year. If you want to try it, today is the safer bet.

The Bottom Line

Krispy Kreme’s first-ever Orange Dreamsicle Original Glazed doughnuts are available today and tomorrow only at participating locations. Get a dozen for $5 with any regular-price dozen purchase — in-shop, at the drive-thru, or online with code ORANGE. After Sunday, they’re gone.
