McDonald's will carry three varieties of Krispy Kreme doughnuts that will be delivered fresh to McDonald's restaurants daily. The doughnuts (pictured above) include:

Krispy Kreme President and CEO Josh Charlesworth says in the announcement, "Significantly, by making Kreme Krispy accessible to fans nationwide through this partnership, we expect to more than double our points of access by the end of 2026. The partnership accelerates the development of our existing Delivered Fresh Daily channel, creating operating leverage through distribution density and production utilization.
