Class polynomials attached to affine Hecke algebras were first introduced by X.~He in \cite{He1}. They play an important role in the study of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties. Motivated by \cite{He2}, we compute the class polynomials attached to an affine Hecke algebra of type (twisted) $\widetilde{A}_2$. Using these class polynomials we prove a conjecture of G\"{o}rtz-Haines-Kottwitz-Reuman for the general linear group, unitary group and division algebra of semisimple rank 2. Furthermore, we discuss some interesting patterns on affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties.
