As countdown to NASA’s Artemis II’s launch quickens, Krispy Kreme joins the celestial fun. Continuing its food storytelling around pop culture, the iconic doughnut brand celebrates the highly anticipated return to the moon. The doughnut’s image and flavor are out of this world.
Krispy Kreme understands that being part of pop culture and trending moments are vital. While the candy collaborations bring big flavor, the limited-edition offerings, tied to a specific event, ensure guests hit a store.
As Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer explained, “Big moments bring people together, and it doesn’t get much bigger than humans heading back into deep space. We took our iconic Original Glazed doughnut and gave it a mission‑worthy makeover so fans can celebrate Artemis II in a fun, delicious way, right alongside history.”
What is the Krispy Kreme Artemis II Doughnut?
Similar to the NASA mission, the Krispy Kreme Artemis II Doughnut blends traditional favorites with innovative flavor combinations. The doughnut starts with the Original Glazed. The fluffy, sweet doughnut always delivers great flavor.
The doughnut is topped with a blue colored, vanilla-flavored icing, OREO crunch and white nonpareils. In the center, the cookies-and-cream flavored buttercream are a nod to star studded space and a red chevron channels the NASA connection.
This specialty doughnut is a wonderful way to mark NASA’s mission. While the visual connection is clear, the flavor is equally as smart. Cookies and cream paired with the Original Glazed is a universally appealing flavor. Young, old and everyone in between would be delighted to enjoy one.
Krispy Kreme is offering an Artemis II Specialty Dozen. The box includes six Artemis II Doughnuts and six Original Glazed doughnuts.
Previously, the beloved doughnut company has created space themed doughnuts. From red Mars inspired offerings to eclipse concepts, people loved the specialty items.
With Artemis II set to launch on April 1, act quickly to snag the specialty dozen. Unfortunately, there is not a Krispy Kreme close to Cape Canaveral, where the NASA launch will happen.
