KANSAS CITY – With the increase in colder weather and holiday music comes a variety of new holiday-based limited time products. Whether it’s an innovation to a favorite or something entirely new altogether, a variety of stores and restaurants are launching new products and flavors for the holiday season.
In the foodservice space, Krispy Kreme, Inc. launched its first ever “Elf” donut collection featuring four different flavors inspired by the 2003 Christmas film.
