Krispy Kreme is celebrating Halloween 2026 with a colorful twist on its famous Original Glazed doughnuts, a limited-time $13 Halloween dozen, and a chance to get free doughnuts.
The new All Jacked Up Dozen features orange-colored glazed doughnuts and three specially decorated Halloween designs.
But you’ll need to act quickly: the $13 dozen is available only through Thursday, October 29, 2026, at participating U.S. Krispy Kreme locations.
Even better, Krispy Kreme has announced a separate free-doughnut promotion for customers wearing Halloween costumes on October 30 and 31.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new doughnuts, pricing, availability, and how to claim the Halloween offers.

The promotional lineup was announced by Krispy Kreme on October 26.
The company describes the orange-colored doughnuts as having the same familiar Original Glazed flavor.
That means the orange color is primarily a Halloween-themed visual change, not confirmation of a new orange-flavored doughnut.
What’s Inside the $13 All Jacked Up Dozen?
The special Halloween box contains 12 doughnuts: nine orange-colored Original Glazed doughnuts and three decorated varieties.
Here’s the breakdown.
1. Jack’s Original Glazed Doughnuts — 9 Included
These are Krispy Kreme’s familiar Original Glazed doughnuts with orange-colored dough and an icing drizzle.
The company says they retain the original glazed taste.
For anyone wondering whether the orange appearance means a new citrus flavor, the official announcement does not describe these as orange-flavored doughnuts.
Instead, they’re a festive variation of the classic recipe.
2. Mummy Jack Doughnut — 1 Included
The Mummy Jack Doughnut features:
- Orange-colored Original Glazed dough
- Icing coating
- White vanilla-flavored buttercreme decorations
- Green icing representing a pumpkin stem
It’s designed to resemble a Halloween mummy.
3. Jack O’ Doughnut — 1 Included
This version is inspired by a traditional jack-o’-lantern.
Its design includes:
- Orange-colored Original Glazed dough
- Orange icing
- A chocolate icing face
- A green icing stem
It offers a classic Halloween pumpkin appearance.
4. Monster Jack Doughnut — 1 Included
The Monster Jack Doughnut features a more elaborate decoration.
According to Krispy Kreme, it includes:
- Orange-colored Original Glazed dough
- Orange icing
- Chocolate cookie pieces
- Chocolate icing stitches
- A green icing stem
The combination creates a playful monster-inspired appearance.
How Much Does the Krispy Kreme Halloween Dozen Cost?
The All Jacked Up Dozen costs $13 during the promotional period.
That includes all 12 Halloween-themed doughnuts.
For reference, $13 divided by 12 works out to approximately $1.08 per doughnut before any applicable tax or additional ordering fees.
However, the doughnuts are sold together as a promotional dozen.
The official announcement does not establish that all four varieties can be purchased individually at the same promotional price.
The $13 offer applies from October 27 through October 29, 2026, at participating U.S. shops, subject to availability.
You can check participating locations through the official Krispy Kreme All Jacked Up Dozen promotion page.

Here’s another reason to visit Krispy Kreme during Halloween week.
On Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, 2026, customers wearing Halloween costumes can receive one free doughnut at participating U.S. Krispy Kreme shops.
You can choose from the eligible options:

What Is the Jack’s Treat Dozen Pass?
Krispy Kreme is also offering a separate Halloween surprise.
The company plans to distribute 10,000 Jack’s Treat Dozen Passes to randomly selected guests at participating U.S. shops on October 30 and 31.
Each pass can be redeemed for a free dozen Original Glazed doughnuts with a qualifying purchase.
Important Dates

The 10,000 passes are distributed to randomly selected guests, and redemption requires a purchase.
Additional restrictions apply.
Don’t confuse this promotion with the free costume doughnut offer, which does not require a purchase.

Where Can You Buy the Orange Glazed Doughnuts?
The All Jacked Up Dozen is available through several ordering methods at participating locations:
- In-store purchases
- Drive-thru
- Online pickup orders
- Delivery orders
The promotion is available only through October 29 and is subject to product availability.
Not every Krispy Kreme location is participating.
To avoid disappointment:
- Open the official Krispy Kreme promotional page.
- Search for your city or ZIP code.
- Confirm that your chosen location participates.
- Check the applicable ordering options.
If the dozen is unavailable at your preferred store, the location may not participate or may have sold out.
Is Krispy Kreme’s Orange Glazed Dozen Available in Canada?
No. Krispy Kreme’s official promotion page specifically states that the $13 All Jacked Up Dozen offer is not available in Canada or Puerto Rico.
The promotion is intended for participating locations in the United States.
Canadian customers should check Krispy Kreme Canada’s local announcements for any separate Halloween offerings.
Is the Orange Original Glazed Doughnut a New Flavor?
Not exactly.
According to the official announcement, the orange-colored doughnuts retain the recognizable Original Glazed taste.
The orange appearance is part of the Halloween presentation.
Three doughnuts in the dozen include additional decorative icing and toppings, but the standard orange Jack’s Original Glazed doughnuts are presented as a seasonal variation of the classic.
Customers looking for a new orange or citrus-flavored doughnut should not assume the seasonal color indicates a different fruit flavor.
