Krispy Kreme is celebrating PAC-MAN’s 45th birthday by teaming up with Bandai Namco Entertainment American Inc. for the launch of the new PAC-MAN Collection starting May 12, 2025.
Available now at participating U.S. shops nationwide, the Krispy Kreme x PAC-MAN Collection features three new nostalgic, PAC-MAN-inspired, including:
- PAC-MAN Party Doughnut: An Original Glazed donut covered with yellow buttercreme-flavored icing, topped with celebration sprinkles, and finished with a PAC-MAN piece.
- TEAM GHOST Doughnut: An unglazed shell donut filled with chocolate-flavored Kreme, dipped in black icing, decorated with a classic PAC-MAN maze, and topped with a Team Ghosts piece.
- Strawberry Power Berry Doughnut: An unglazed shell donut filled with strawberry-flavored Kreme, topped with red icing, and finished with white sprinkles and green leaf icing.
In addition to the new PAC-MAN-themed doughnut lineup, Krispy Kreme will celebrate the iconic game’s 45th anniversary with the following deals:
- Hot Light Doughnut Giveaway & Strawberry Glazed Challenge: Between May 12 and 18, Krispy Kreme will hand out a total of 45,000 free Original Glazed doughnuts during Hot Light hours—7–9 a.m. and 5–7 p.m., or whenever you see the Hot Light glowing. Each guest can grab one free doughnut per day, either in-shop or at the drive-thru. If fans reach this giveaway goal, the Strawberry Glazed Doughnut will make a limited-time return, celebrating PAC-MAN’s famous love for fruit.
- Pac-Dots Bonus Treat: From May 12 to 14, Doughnut Dots transform into “Pac-Dots.” With any regular-priced dozen doughnuts purchased, fans get an extra 10-count of Dots at no extra charge.
- Birthday Deal on Dozens: On May 22—PAC-MAN’s birthday—score a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for just 25 cents when you buy any other dozen at full price.
The PAC-MAN Doughnut Collection is available now at participating Krispy Kreme locations nationwide for a limited time. You can also find the new PAC-MAN doughnuts in a 6-pack box, delivered fresh daily to select retailers across the country.
