While the shop sells "Average Joe donuts" like glazed, cake, twists, donut holes and the like, Jarams is best known for its specialty pastries. At Valentine's Day, Jarams sells heart-shaped white-chocolate cake doughnuts, for instance. At St. Patrick's Day, they're shamed like shamrocks and iced in emerald green. At Halloween, their doughnuts are painted to look like pumpkins, black cats, Frankensteins, monsters and mummies.

So are you ready for the Christmas doughnuts at Jarams?

The shop is selling all kinds of red and green Christmas goodies, including a doughnut with an edible sugar globe, one with a mustachioed Santa Claus, and one shaped like a tree.
