KRISPY KREME Ghostbusters Promotion 2024

 A decade ago, we blogged about the UK branch of Krispy Kreme shunning the Ghostbusters 30^th Anniversary promotion that was later limited to USA/Canada. https://figuredouthq.blogspot.com/2014/10/krispy-kreme-uk-elbows-ghostbusters.html

10 Years later, Ghostbusters has turned the big 4-0, and Krispy Kreme have introduced a new range of donuts to celebrate the milestone. This time around, the UK branch is participating!

The promotion is as follows:
Capture your cravings with our NEW Ghostbusters inspired doughnuts! Featuring 4 ghostly-good doughnuts that make spooky season extra delicious! 

Ghostbusters Cookies N’ Creme Doughnut made with OREO® - an Original Glazed® doughnut dipped in chocolate icing, topped with OREO® pieces, a dollop of flavored buttercreme with OREO® and a No Ghost logo candy. 

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Doughnut Pull-Apart – Original Glazed® doughnut with powdered topping, topped with marshmallow flavored buttercreme and a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man candy.  

Slimer Doughnut – an unglazed doughnut filled with lemon flavored green filling, dipped in purple and green icing with a Slimer candy. 

Ecto-Sprinkled Doughnut – an Original Glazed® doughnut dipped in orange colored icing and sprinkled with neon sprinkles. (KrispyKreme.com)

The dozen presentation box has a really cool Ecto-Trap design and is a keeper!

One thing missing from the UK side of the promotion is the Mr Stay Puft donut. The dozen box features the basic glazed donuts as a substitute (see pics). However, it's great that this time around Krispy Kreme UK is taking part of the Ghostbusters celebration.

Krispy Kreme UK elbows Ghostbusters promotion

When Krispy Kreme announced special edition Ghostbusters donuts to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the movie, many were happy to receive the news.

The unveiled donuts in two different variants: A Slimed Logo donut, and a Marshmallow Mr Stay Puft donut had been given a good reception. The eventual release has been positive overall.

Sadly, it would seem the promotion is limited to a USA and Canada only deal. An email made its way to Figured Out HQ this morning confirming that the UK won't enjoy these spooky treats.

Thank you for contacting Krispy Kreme!

Unfortunately, the Ghostbusters promotion is only taking place in the US.

We have lots of exciting campaigns coming to the UK very soon such as Halloween inspired doughnuts.

Somehow, the Halloween donuts don't seem to be worthy substitute. Feel free to comment and reply with opinions.
