Halloween has officially arrived at Krispy Kreme, and this year’s seasonal lineup comes with a nostalgic cartoon twist. The new Krispy Kreme Looney Tunes Halloween Collection pairs four limited-time doughnuts with Bugs Bunny, Tweety, Sylvester, Taz and Lola Bunny in playful Halloween costumes.
The collection launches October 6, 2026, at participating Krispy Kreme shops in the U.S. and Canada and is available through October 31, while supplies last. The doughnuts can be ordered in shops, through pickup and delivery, and some are also available in special six-count packages at select retailers.
What makes this collection worth a closer look is that the four doughnuts are not simply different decorations on the same base. There are chocolate-filled, Oreo-filled and Original Glazed options, giving you a few genuinely different flavors to choose from.
Why the Krispy Kreme Looney Tunes Halloween Collection Is Worth Trying
The biggest appeal is variety. Instead of committing the whole box to one seasonal flavor, you can sample several combinations ranging from chocolate dulce Kreme to candy-corn-style icing and Oreo cookies and Kreme.
It is also an easy option for Halloween gatherings. Krispy Kreme is offering specialty dozen bundles, while select retailers carry an assorted six-count package. That makes the collection practical for a movie night, office treat or family Halloween gathering without requiring any baking.
And for longtime Looney Tunes fans, the character designs add a nostalgic element that ordinary seasonal doughnuts simply don’t have.

What Makes These Halloween Doughnuts Different?
The collection is a collaboration between Krispy Kreme and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, bringing the classic Looney Tunes characters into Krispy Kreme’s doughnut lineup for the first time.
The flavors are also deliberately varied. Two of the doughnuts start with Original Glazed, while the Bugs Bunny and Taz versions use unglazed shell doughnuts with fillings.
Here’s what to expect:
- Bugs Bunny Doughnut: An unglazed shell filled with chocolate dulce Kreme, finished with red dulce icing, chocolate drizzle, bat sprinkles and a vampire Bugs Bunny sugar piece.
- Tweety and Sylvester Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut coated in candy-corn-flavored icing with colorful sprinkles and a Tweety and Sylvester pumpkin sugar piece.
- Taz Doughnut: An unglazed shell filled with OREO Cookies & Kreme, covered with chocolate icing and OREO pieces, then finished with green drizzle and a mummy Taz decoration.
- Lola Bunny Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut topped with a purple buttercreme-flavored swirl, gold stars and a witch-themed Lola Bunny sugar piece.
Which One Should You Try First?
If you like rich chocolate flavors, the Bugs Bunny doughnut is the obvious starting point. Its chocolate dulce Kreme filling gives it more of a filled-dessert feel than a standard glazed doughnut.
For cookie-and-cream fans, Taz is likely the strongest pick. The combination of OREO Cookies & Kreme filling, chocolate icing and crushed OREO pieces makes it the most cookie-forward option.
If you prefer something closer to the classic Krispy Kreme experience, try Lola Bunny. The Original Glazed base remains the familiar foundation, while the purple buttercreme-flavored topping gives it a distinctly seasonal appearance.
The Tweety and Sylvester doughnut is the most Halloween-specific choice, thanks to its candy-corn-flavored icing and pumpkin character decoration.
Tips for Choosing a Box
- Buying for a group? Choose an assorted box so people can sample different flavors.
- Serving kids? The colorful character decorations make the collection especially suited to Halloween parties.
- Prefer chocolate? Look for Bugs Bunny or Taz.
- Want a familiar base? Lola Bunny and Tweety & Sylvester both use Original Glazed.
- Buying at a grocery store? Check availability first because the six-count assortment is limited to participating retailers.
- One useful detail: the official Krispy Kreme lineup is available only for a limited period, from October 6 through October 31, 2026, at participating locations and subject to availability.
Easy Ways to Serve Them for Halloween
You don’t need an elaborate dessert spread to make these feel special. Put the doughnuts on a large platter alongside fresh fruit, popcorn or simple Halloween candies for an easy party table.
For a Halloween movie night, cut some of the richer filled doughnuts into halves or quarters so everyone can sample more than one flavor. The assorted approach works particularly well here because the collection includes noticeably different fillings and toppings.
If you’re taking them to a party, keeping the doughnuts in their original specialty packaging also makes the character theme part of the presentation. For another look at the seasonal lineup, check out Food Network’s guide to the Krispy Kreme Looney Tunes Halloween Collection.
Storage and Freshness Tips
Krispy Kreme doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh. If you’re buying them ahead of a gathering, keep them in their original packaging at room temperature rather than refrigerating them, following Krispy Kreme’s storage guidance.
For the best texture, avoid buying them much earlier than necessary. Filled and heavily decorated doughnuts are especially enjoyable when their toppings and fillings are fresh.

Final Thoughts
The Krispy Kreme Looney Tunes Halloween Collection works because it combines recognizable characters with enough flavor variety to make the lineup more than a novelty box. Chocolate lovers have Bugs Bunny and Taz, while Original Glazed fans can choose Lola Bunny or Tweety and Sylvester.
If you’re planning a Halloween gathering, the limited-time collection is an easy way to add a festive dessert without making one yourself. Just don’t wait too long: the collection is scheduled to run only through October 31, 2026, at participating locations and while supplies last.
