CNY McDonald's Will Soon Be Selling These Delish Doughnuts

A match made in fast-food breakfast heaven will soon become a reality after test markets proved the pairing to be a huge success.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and McDonald's Restaurants have reached an agreement to sell the warm, gooey and delicious melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts in all McDonald's locations nationwide by the end of 2026. That will include those in the Central New York region. What a great way to enjoy your McCafe beverage, while washing down a freshly baked Krispy Kreme doughnut.

The announcement of the partnership was made Tuesday morning in a release on the Krispy Kreme website stating,

The Golden Arches and Krispy Kreme, one of the most beloved sweet treat brands in the world, are teaming up for a national expansion. Fans will begin spotting Krispy Kreme doughnuts in their local McDonald’s restaurants later this year as part of a phased market rollout across the country. Nationwide availability at participating restaurants is expected by the end of 2026.

The offerings will include three of the most popular Krispy Kreme flavors including The iconic Original Glazed® Doughnut, The Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles Doughnut and The Chocolate Iced Kreme™ Filled Doughnut.

The two companies experimented with the concept at over 160 stores in the Louisville, Kentucky and Lexington, Kentucky areas and it was a sweet success. McDonald's USA Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer Tariq Hassan says,

Since the launch of breakfast nearly 50 years ago, we’ve continued to offer new menu items, flavors and experiences that have made McDonald’s an irreplaceable part of fans’ morning routines. This partnership is an exciting next step in that journey and a chance to unlock new business opportunities in the breakfast category and throughout the day. Our fans’ love for Krispy Kreme runs deep, and we can’t wait to make it even easier for them to satisfy their sweet tooth at McDonald’s restaurants across the country.

Krispy Kreme CEO Josh Charlesworth echoed the sentiment saying people always ask the company to bring a Krispy Kreme to their hometown. Now, that is possible in any hometown that has a McDonald's.

They are available in New York State if you want to travel down to New York City. Soon everyone can enjoy the delicious goodness of a hot fresh Krispy Kreme doughnut.
