Thanksgiving has come early at Krispy Kreme, where customers will be able to get their fill of pie-inspired donuts all month long.

The national chain unveiled four new donut flavors as part of a Thanksgiving-themed collection on Thursday set to put a "new, sweet spin" on holiday tradition.

The "sweet and shareable" collection features "fruity, crumbly, silky ‘n sweet treats inspired by the holiday’s favorite pies," Krispy Kreme said in a news release. All of the donuts will be available for purchase through Thanksgiving.

"There’s nothing more meaningful and traditional than spending time around the table with those we love this time of year," Dave Skena, global marketing executive for Krispy Kreme, said in a statement. "Our new Thanksgiving Pies Doughnut Collection was created with that in mind to help bring people together and sweeten the season of sharing joy and gratitude."
