Krispy Kreme is launching a limited-edition doughnut inspired by a historic NASA space mission, igniting excitement among fans. As the countdown to the first crewed lunar flyby mission in 50 years begins, the beloved doughnut chain is gearing up to unveil a new, space-themed treat in collaboration with Oreo.
True Krispy Kreme enthusiasts are already familiar with the brand’s partnership with Oreo, having added two new Oreo-flavored doughnuts to their menu just last month. Now, they can look forward to trying the special Artemis II-inspired treat, a limited-time addition that promises to be a delicious celebration of history.
“We took our iconic Original Glazed doughnut and gave it a mission-worthy makeover so fans can celebrate Artemis II in a fun, delicious way, right alongside history,” shared Alison Holder, the chief brand and product officer at Krispy Kreme.
The new Artemis II Doughnut starts with the brand’s classic Original Glazed recipe and is then dipped in blue vanilla-flavored icing. It is further enhanced with a mix of Oreo crunch and white nonpareils, topped with a cookies-and-creme flavored buttercream dollop, and finished with a red chevron nod to the NASA logo.
Krispy Kreme has a history of celebrating NASA and space-related events, and this latest creation is sure to be a hit with fans for its creativity and thematic relevance. The limited-edition Artemis II Doughnut will be available for a short time at participating Krispy Kreme shops nationwide, debuting on Tuesday, March 31, and remaining on the menu through Thursday, April 2, while supplies last.
Fashioned to be “familiar, nostalgic, and mission-ready,” according to the doughnut chain, the Artemis II Doughnut promises to deliver the same melt-in-your-mouth experience that has been loved for generations, with a bold new look inspired by NASA’s mission. Whether enjoyed on its own or as part of the Artemis II Specialty Dozen, which includes six Artemis II Doughnuts and six Original Glazed doughnuts, this limited-edition treat is a must-try for doughnut enthusiasts and space enthusiasts alike.
