Krispy Kreme Inc. and the streaming service Hulu have partnered for four new doughnuts inspired by the cinema snack bar, the company said Monday.

The Charlotte, N.C.-based doughnut company said the new Krispy Kreme x Hulu flavors include popcorn and slushie.

“This first-ever collaboration with Hulu lets our fans enjoy their favorite movie snack flavors with their favorite doughnut while streaming their favorite movie. That’s a good night,” Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme’s chief growth officer, said in a statement.

They are available now for a limited time, the company said. The flavors include:

The Blue Raspberry Slush Doughnut features Krispy Kreme’s original glazed version that is dipped in blue raspberry-flavored icing and includes blue sugar.

The Caramel Popcorn Doughnut is an unglazed shell doughnut filled with caramel popcorn-flavored filling, dipped in white icing and caramel popcorn, and topped with red icing drizzle.

The Cookie Dough Superstar Doughnut is an unglazed shell doughnut filled with chocolate “butterkreme”-flavored filling, dipped in chocolate-flavored icing, and topped with gold glitter sprinkles and cookie dough bites.

The Candy Double Feature Doughnut features a glazed doughnut dipped in white icing, topped with milk chocolate candy pieces and mini milk chocolate chips, and drizzled with chocolate-flavored icing.
