Krispy Kreme and McDonald's team up

In case you missed the news, Krispy Kreme doughnuts will begin coming to local McDonald's restaurants later this year with nationwide availability at participating restaurants expected by the end of 2026, the companies said.

Three of the chain's most popular doughnuts – original glazed, chocolate iced with sprinkles, and chocolate iced cream-filled – will be delivered fresh to McDonald's restaurants daily, and they will be available individually or in boxes of six, starting at breakfast and lasting throughout the day.
