Philadelphia Cream Cheese Debuts the Bonut, the First-Ever Bagel Donut Featuring New Blueberry and Pineapple Cream Cheese Flavours

In celebration of National Donut Day, Canada's favourite cream cheese brand partners with beloved bagel shops to offer free Bonuts nationwide

TORONTO, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, Philadelphia cream cheese launches the Bonut – a simple, yet revolutionary mashup of two breakfast staples. Made possible by the arrival of Philadelphia's two new  cream cheese flavours, Blueberry and Pineapple, the Bonut is the first-ever bagel donut featuring the brand's newest cream cheese flavours on top of an uncut bagel, not in the middle—elevating your bagel from boring to Bonut.

With more than one third of Canadians open to changing up their breakfast routine¹, the new flavours are here to transform everything you ever thought you knew about bagels and cream cheese. To celebrate this game-changing innovation, Philadelphia has teamed up with beloved bagel shops, College Street Bagels in Toronto and Fairmont Bagel in Montreal, to give away free Bonuts on June 6, 2025 - National Donut Day beginning at 7:00 a.m. ET, while supplies last. Fans will also be able to purchase them via Uber Eats for a limited time.

Savory cream cheese flavours make up 89% of the category², yet nearly half of consumers prefer sweet offerings, leaving them void of many options. As the cream cheese category leader, Philadelphia recognized this opportunity to delight Canadians with its newest flavour offerings in over five years. New-to-category flavours, Blueberry and Pineapple, feature the brand's signature creamy texture and taste along with real fruit chunks – bringing flavour back to morning breakfast.

"For over 150 years, our goal at Philadelphia has been to bring fans new and exciting experiences to elevate their everyday food occasions," said Brian Neumann, Head of Brand & Creativity at Kraft Heinz Canada. "With flavoured cream cheese driving category growth and flavour being cited as our fans' number one purchase driver³, we are excited to bring these new sweet products to our portfolio and share how they can elevate your bagel from boring to Bonut."

Proudly prepared in Canada with no artificial flavours or colours, the new Philadelphia cream cheese flavours will be available beginning this month in 227g tubs for $4.99 CAD at select retailers nationwide.
