Have you ever wanted to eat a Grinch green doughnut? Well, now's your chance.

Krispy Kreme announced Friday its Original Glazed doughnuts will be green due to the Grinch being in "max mischief mode." The company said in a news release that the Grinch snuck into Krispy Kreme shops to "mischievously mess with our mix and glazers," turning the doughnuts green.

The doughnut chain is offering customers a free Original Glazed dozen with the purchase of any dozen at regular price, including the two-day only new Grinch Green Dozen. The offer is only available Friday and Saturday, and customers can get it in-shop and via drive-thru only, with a limited of two dozen per guest while supplies last.

The promotion comes immediately after the company's annual "Day of the Dozens" promotion Thursday, where it also offered customers a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for free with the purchase of any dozen at regular price.

Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed doughnuts will be green on Friday and Saturday, and the doughnut chain is offering customers a free dozen of the Original Glazed doughnuts with the purchase of any dozen at regular price on those days.

Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection also still available

The doughnut chain's Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection, which was announced last month, is still available for purchase for a limited time.

Each doughnut in the collection is based on a character from the 1966 holiday classic "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" It also features two returning doughnuts: the Santa Belly Doughnut and the Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut.

The new doughnuts in the collection include:

  • Grinch Doughnut: An unglazed doughnut filled with "coal" Cookies & Kreme filling, dipped in Grinch green icing with a chocolate icing smirky grin and buttercream hair.

  • Grinchy Claus Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing, topped with white buttercream, Christmas crispies and Grinch piece.

  • Cindy-Lou Who Merry Berry Tree Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in strawberry flavored icing with a green buttercream tree, festively sprinkled and topped with a star piece.

Krispy Kreme announced Monday the Merry Grinchmas Doughnut Collection will be available beginning Friday, Nov. 29 at participating shops.
