Krispy Kreme Doughnuts has officially leveled up! In a nostalgic and delicious tribute to one of the most iconic video games of all time, Krispy Kreme has partnered with Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. to celebrate PAC-MAN’s 45th anniversary — introducing a limited-time doughnut collection inspired by the arcade legend.
Now available at participating Krispy Kreme locations across the U.S., the Krispy Kreme x PAC-MAN Collection features three all-new doughnuts presented in a custom PAC-MAN-themed dozen box, designed to bring back memories and satisfy cravings alike.
🕹️ Limited-Time Flavors Inspired by the Classic Game:
- PAC-MAN Party Doughnut
An Original Glazed® doughnut piped with yellow buttercreme-flavored icing, topped with festive sprinkles and a PAC-MAN candy topper — the perfect tribute to everyone’s favorite dot-chomping hero.
- TEAM GHOST Doughnut
– Strawberry Power Berry Doughnut
An unglazed shell doughnut filled with strawberry-flavored Kreme, dipped in red icing, dusted with white sprinkles, and finished with a green leaf icing — a nod to PAC-MAN’s famous fruit power-ups.
