Krispy Kreme is looking to bring an iconic cartoon franchise to life in its latest doughnut collection.
The chain is teaming up with Warner Bros. Discovery to bring Looney Tunes to life and has released four Halloween-themed doughnuts centered around five beloved characters.
“Looney Tunes characters have entertained generations of fans with their fun, laughter and mischief, making them a perfect match for Krispy Kreme this Halloween,” Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme's chief brand and product officer, said in a statement that was emailed to USA TODAY. “This collection captures that playful Looney Tunes spirit in a delicious way, with dozens made for sharing and making Halloween parties, gatherings and spooky season celebrations a little sweeter.”
The
doughnuts will be available beginning Tuesday, Oct. 6, but it isn't the only treat Krispy Kreme is bringing out this month. Krispy Kreme will give away doughnuts for two days straight at the end of October.
Here's what to know about the latest Krispy Kreme doughnut collection.
Looney Tunes doughnuts come in four different flavors
Fans can find Bugs Bunny, Tweety, Sylvester, the Tasmanian Devil (a.k.a. Taz) and Lola Bunny printed on sugar pieces and dressed in cute Halloween outfits. Tweety and Sylvester are, of course, together on the donut, but Bugs, Lola and Taz will each have their own donut, designs and flavors.
The flavors include the following:
- Bugs Bunny Doughnut: The donut is unglazed and filled with chocolate dulce Kreme and topped with red dulce icing, a chocolate drizzle and black bat sprinkles. Bugs Bunny is dressed as a vampire and printed on a sugar piece placed in the center of the donut.
- Lola Bunny Doughnut: Lola Bunny, Bugs Bunny's girlfriend who first appeared in the 1996 Looney Tunes movie "Space Jam," can be found on an original glazed donut topped with purple buttercream and gold star sprinkles. She is printed on a sugar piece and dressed as a witch.
- Taz Doughnut: The wildest of the Looney Tunes gang is seen dressed as a mummy and placed in the center of an unglazed doughnut shell that is filled with Oreo Cookies and Kream. It is dipped in chocolate, covered in Oreo pieces and has a green icing drizzle.
- Tweety and Sylvester Doughnut: A glazed donut dipped in candy corn-flavored icing. The bottom of the donut is covered in yellow, white and orange confetti sprinkles and on a sugar piece, Sylvester pokes his head out of the top of a jack-o'-lantern as Tweety sits on top of his head.

The freebie does not include the Looney Tunes Halloween doughnuts.
Doughnuts unveiled weeks after Looney Tunes movie premiere
Krispy Kreme debuted the doughnuts just over a month after the latest Looney Tunes movie "Coyote vs. Acme," starring Wile E. Coyote, John Cena and Will Forte, which premiered in theaters in August. In the movie, Wile E. Coyote sues the Acme Corporation after spending decades using its defective contraptions and tools to try to catch the elusive Road Runner.
The movie was completed years ago, but was at risk of never being seen by the public when Warner Bros. took cost-cutting measures and shelved the finished film in November 2023, according to USA TODAY's previous reporting. The decision sparked public backlash, and many, including some of the actors in the movie, were devastated that it would not be released.
But in 2025, Ketchup Entertainment acquired the film and eventually released it in theaters.
