Katherine Pendrill — April 22, 2023 — Lifestyle
National Donut Day is just around the corner and Tim Hortons is celebrating by bringing back two fan-favorite donuts: the Walnut Crunch and Cherry Stick.
For more than a decade, the Walnut Crunch and Cherry Stick donuts have been absent from Tim Hortons' bakery shelves. Now, the brand is bringing back these two beloved pastries as part of the cross-Canada Crunch Back Tour, which launches on May 31, 2023 (just ahead of National Donut Day on June 2). As Tallis Voakes, Director of Culinary Innovation at Tim Hortons, explains, "Both the Walnut Crunch and Cherry Stick were iconic donuts in their time and I'm happy to report they still pack the same punch in every bite."
The Walnut Crunch donut will be available across Canada and at participating Tims restaurants in Quebec, while the Cherry Stick donut will be available from Tims restaurants in Quebec, and at participating Tims restaurants in the rest of Canada.
