    DOUGH-lightful! Krispy Kreme and Make-A-Wish UK create ‘Giving Grotto’ to help Brits crank up the Christmas spirit

    • Krispy Kreme launches ‘Giving Grotto’ in partnership with Make-A-Wish UK

    • Alternative grotto lifts Christmas spirits by focusing on ‘what you give, not what you get’

    • Grotto launched in response to new research that shows generous acts are contagious

    • Krispy Kreme will thank all Grotto-goers for their generosity with a FREE box of four Original Glazed doughnuts

    ‘Tis the season to be jolly, and Krispy Kreme is sprinkling some festive joy with the launch of the UK’s first Giving Grotto. In this alternative take on the traditional Christmas Grotto, doughnut lovers will be invited to tell Santa not what they want for Christmas, but who they’d like to treat this year and why.

    The Giving Grotto has been inspired by insights revealed in the first UK Generosity Report produced by the Centre for Retail Research. The research identifies that time pressure (38%) and money worries (37%) are the biggest barriers to Brits being generous. The data also proved that being generous is contagious, with almost two thirds (64%) who benefit from a generous act feeling inspired to be generous themselves, such as sharing a box of doughnuts.

    So, to kickstart a wave of Christmas generosity, Krispy Kreme is inviting visitors to the Giving Grotto to tell Santa who they’d like to nommm-inate to get a FREE year’s supply of Original Glazed doughnuts and why. Krispy Kreme will select lucky winners at random, with 1  in 10 grotto visitors having a chance to win the year’s supply worth of doughnuts for their nomm-inated person. Grotto-goers will also be given the option to donate their prize to Make-A-Wish UK who will use the doughnuts to spread joy at events they host throughout 2024.

    But the magic doesn’t stop there, as the first 100 Grotto visitors will be treated to a FREE Original Glazed four pack to thank them for getting into the Christmas spirit.

    Emma Colquhoun, Chief Customer Officer UK & Ireland at Krispy Kreme said: “We’re launching the Giving Grotto to encourage Brits to revel in the joy of being generous this Christmas. With increasingly busy lives, people watching their pennies and so much happening in the world, there’s a risk we might not see quite the joy sharing and gift giving this festive season. Our Giving Grotto is the perfect place to make a generous wish come true.” 

    Steph Witt, Director of Income & Engagement at Make-A Wish UK said: “Christmas is traditionally the season of giving and it’s a hugely important time for Make-A-Wish UK. As part of our ongoing partnership with Krispy Kreme, we’re delighted to be inspiring generosity with the Giving Grotto. The donations we receive will help to create life-changing wishes for children facing critical illness.” 

    For doughnut fans unable to get down to the Grotto in person, Krispy Kreme will also be running a Giving Grotto TikTok live event with hundreds of chances to nommm-inate your loved ones for prizes.

    The Giving Grotto will be coming to the Krispy Kreme London Westfield Stratford shop on Sunday, 3rd December from 10am to 6pm. Entry to the Giving Grotto will operate on a first come first serve basis with the first 100 customers meeting Santa in the Krispy Kreme Giving Grotto and receiving a four pack of Original Glazed doughnuts – Terms and Conditions apply.
