As part of the promotion, Hostess is offering gingerbread spice Hostess Donettes in special packaging featuring the unforgettable character "Gingy" and cherry sweet rolls featuring the smooth-talking dealmaker "Rumpelstiltskin." Other varieties of Hostess Donettes will offer special Shrek-themed holiday packaging featuring the popular Shrek, Donkey and Puss In Boots characters.

All four discs in the collection feature hours of new extras and the sets will also include the brand new, limited-edition Donkey's Christmas Shrektacular.
