Krispy Kreme and Barbie are set to collaborate for an anticipated celebration. Krispy Kreme, known for its successful partnerships, including the Kit Kat Collection and a collaboration with Dolly Parton, is now joining forces with one of the most iconic toys of the 20th century: Barbie.

Since its debut in 1959, Barbie has evolved into a global phenomenon, expanding its influence across toys, books, movies, TV shows, video games, and food. With Barbie’s 65th anniversary on the horizon, Krispy Kreme is rumored to celebrate this milestone with a collection of four unique doughnuts inspired by Barbie’s legacy:

  • Barbie Berries n’ Kreme - A sleek and delicious doughnut filled with strawberry Kreme, topped with purple and pink frosting, and finished with a Barbie heart chocolate.
  • Malibu Dream Party - This cookie butter-filled doughnut is rolled in cookie crumbs and gold nibs and topped with a Malibu house sugar decoration, perfect for those looking to bring the party to life.

These flavors are expected to launch this week, with six-packs available at select grocery stores. While the official release date has yet to be announced, the collaboration is confirmed, and fans can look forward to more updates.

Barbie's Cultural Impact Extends to Fast Food with Iconic Collaborations at Burger King and Cold Stone Creamery

Barbie’s influence extends beyond toys, with numerous collaborations in fast food that celebrate her legacy:

  • BK Barbie Combo – Burger King Brazil - Released during the live-action Barbie movie's premiere, the BK Barbie Combo features a Pink Burger with flame-grilled patties, cheddar cheese, diced bacon, and a smokey pink sauce on brioche buns, accompanied by Ken’s Potatoes.
  • All That Glitters is Pink—Cold Stone Creamery - This ice cream captures Barbie’s essence with sweet, dazzling flavors. It is served in a limited-edition Barbie movie-themed cup and launched at the height of Barbie fever last year.

These collaborations underscore Barbie’s enduring presence in popular culture, continuing to inspire innovative and delicious creations.
