This year, the bakery cafe chain has created a special Easter Egg Donut in celebration of the spring season.

The egg-shaped, yeast donut-available now through April 8-is dipped in chocolate fondant and accented with pastel-colored icing in honor of the egg-decorating pastime.

"It's always fun to celebrate the holidays with our guests," said Mike Meilleur, senior vice president of U.S. operations. "The Easter Egg Donut is a new twist on a Tim Hortonsclassic that will bring out the little kid in all of us."

There is no extra charge for the egg-celent donut, it retails at the everyday price of an individual donut.
