Krispy Kreme teams up with another iconic brand to celebrate a very special, very pink anniversary

Barbie had a big birthday this year – her 65th, to be exact – and Krispy Kreme is celebrating in the best way possible.

The chain has teamed up with Mattel to create four eye-catching doughnuts that don't hold back on the glamour and glitter, just like our favourite pink icon. Barbie collectors will also love the special limited edition box, although we suspect they won't want to keep the perishable contents on a display shelf.

Before you rush out to buy a box, raid your closet for a pink sweater or T-shirt. Krispy Kreme is giving away a free doughnut to anyone who shows up at pink-themed stores on September 7—though it will be a glazed doughnut with no decorations.

“In addition to the doughnuts, Krispy Kreme has special treats for randomly selected fans, including a limited number of Barbie Fashionista dolls,” a press release said. “The dolls come with custom Krispy Kreme accessories – a Krispy Kreme paper hat, a dozen box and a doughnut. To delight fans even more, Krispy Kreme will include a custom adult-sized Barbie™ x Krispy Kreme denim jacket with each doll.”

That's right folks, you and Barbie can fashion coordinate. Enter to win by leaving a comment and tagging a friend on @krispykreme on Instagram between September 4th and 6th, or by purchasing a dozen Barbie x Krispy Kreme between September 6th and 8th and scanning the Krispy Kreme Rewards app at checkout.

Now a description of these stunning donuts:

  • Barbie Pink: This donut is covered in bright pink buttercream, sprinkled with glittery pink sugar, and decorated with Barbie sunglasses.
  • Malibu Dream Party: An unglazed donut is filled with Cake Batter Kreme and decorated with a dreamy beach scene in front of the Barbie Dream House.
  • Barbie Berries with Cream: This unglazed donut is filled with strawberry cream and striped with white, purple and pink icing. It's topped with a heart-shaped Barbie candy.
  • Barbie Sweet 65th: A glazed donut dipped in chocolate glaze tastes even sweeter when sprinkled with colorful star- and pearl-shaped candies.

Barbie six-packs of donuts will also be available at select grocery stores for a limited time. Fashion trends rarely last – even if Barbie is timeless.
