A hunter's supermoon is on the horizon and Krispy Kreme is celebrating the cosmic event with a new sweet treat: the Supermoon Super Doughnut.
Inspired by the bright phenomenon, Krispy Kreme’s Supermoon Super Doughnut is an "unglazed doughnut filled with cookies & Kreme filling, dipped in yellow icing, (and) swirled with chocolate cookie pieces."
“This October’s Supermoon is the biggest all year. So, get outside Thursday night and make the view even sweeter by enjoying and sharing our Supermoon Super Doughnuts,” said Krispy Kreme Global Chief Brand Officer Dave Skena said in a statement.
What to know:Why is it called the hunter's moon?
How to get Krispy Kreme Supermoon Super Doughnuts?
The Supermoon special doughnuts will be available at participating stores across the U.S. for one day only: Thursday, Oct. 17.
They will be available to purchase individually or as a Supermoon Super Doughnuts specialty dozen box which will include six Supermoon Super Doughnuts and six Original Glazed Doughnuts.
The products will be available for pickup or delivery via Krispy Kreme’s app and website, while supplies last.
Krispy Kreme's new drop is the "latest in a line of popular cosmos-related culinary creations," according to the company. Previous releases include Total Solar Eclipse Doughnut in April, Artemis Moon Doughnut in 2022 and the Strawberry Supermoon and Mars doughnuts in 2021.
Why is the hunter's moon a supermoon?
The hunter's moon is the first full moon of fall while a supermoon occurs when the moon’s orbit brings it closer to Earth than usual. When this happens, the moon can appear slightly bigger and brighter than normal.
The hunter's supermoon is expected to rise Thursday in the eastern sky around sunset. Although it will reach peak illumination at 7:26 a.m. ET, the moon will be below the horizon at that time, "so wait until sunset to watch it rise and take its place in the sky," the Old Farmer's Almanac says.
