Krispy Kreme's getting into the holiday spirit in the only way it knows how: with donuts, naturally. Not long after releasing ultra limited-edition donuts for the solar eclipse and the start of fall, the chain's continuing this trend with a treat offered for one day and one day only.
The Gingerbread Glazed Donut will be sold in stores on National Gingerbread Day, which — for the rare few who haven't been counting down to that day all year — is Tuesday, Dec. 12. Krispy Kreme's going all out with this one, using gingerbread flavored dough, then covering the whole thing in a gingerbread-molasses glaze.

The specialty donut joins three other seasonal desserts on the menu. There's a classic glazed donut coated in chocolate frosting and red, green, and white sprinkles, but the true showstoppers are the Santa Belly donut and melted snowman one.
The former is a joyful reminder of what could happen to you after downing one too many treats this season. (As you might have guessed, the round donut's decorated to look like Kringle's stomach, gold belt buckle and all.)
The melted snowman is exactly like it sounds, too. Much like these melted snowman cookies, each vanilla icing-filled donut is frosted to look like Frosty's sad realization that global warming is, indeed, a thing.
While the gingerbread glazed donut's only available for one day, the other three will be on the menu throughout the holiday season.
