Krispy Kreme and Vimto join together for ‘refreshingly different’ doughnuts
Doughnut brand, Krispy Kreme has partnered with Nichols plc to add the taste of Vimto to a limited edition range of doughnuts.
Vimto is the first soft drinks brand to be added to the Krispy Kreme offering, and these are the first doughnuts ever to feature the Vimto flavour.
Two variants made with the secret Vimto flavour will be available, baked fresh each morning at Krispy Kreme Hotlight stores:
- The Vimto Shimmer will be filled with a Vimto flavour frosting
- The Vimto Ring is the signature Krispy Kreme ring doughnut and is hand dipped in Vimto icing
There will also be a seasonal limited edition doughnut, which will sport a purple look and style on launch to tie into Halloween.
Nichols plc brand licensing manager, Helen Hartley, said, “The combination of the deliciously unique taste of Vimto and melt-in-your-mouth Krispy Kreme truly is a match made in heaven, which we’re sure all Vimto and Krispy Kreme fans will adore. The partnership comes at an exciting time for Vimto, with our recent ‘I See Vimto in You’ campaign celebrating taking enjoyment from the everyday. This mirrors Krispy Kreme’s ethos of sharing delicious tastes and creating joyful memories”.
Krispy Kreme chief marketing officer, Emma Colquhoun, said, “We target an audience who we define as live-a-lotters – people who celebrate fun, special moments and live their taste experiences to the full. This certainly aligns to the Vimto spirit and we’re delighted to partner with them for these great additions to our range.”
All Vimto variants will be available nationwide in stores and cabinets from 15th October. The launch will be supported by a range of marketing activity, including a social media campaign, digital content, in store POS and sampling.
