National Doughnut Day

Krispy Kreme also gives out free doughnuts to celebrate National Doughnut Day which happens on the first Friday in June.

There's no purchase necessary, you just have to show up on Friday, June 2, 2023, and ask for your free donut. This is valid in the US and Canadian Krispy Kreme. 

Halloween

Krispy Kreme usually runs a promotion each year on Halloween for free donuts. If you come into a Krispy Kreme on October 31st wearing a costume, you'll get a free doughnut. Kids and adults can both get into the fun.

Your Birthday

Krispy Kreme regularly sends out coupons for a free Krispy Kreme donut and coffee during the month of your birthday.

To get this sweet birthday treat, you'll need to be a member of Krispy Kreme Rewards. Be sure to enter your birthday when you register so they'll know when to send the coupon for your free birthday doughnut.

Look for the Krispy Kreme "Hot" Sign

Drive by a Krispy Kreme and look to see if their "Hot" neon red sign is lit shouting out to the world that they just made a batch of their original glazed doughnuts. Some stores (and this isn't necessarily at all the stores) will give away free hot doughnuts off the line to customers that come in during this time.

Veterans Day

Veterans can stop by Krispy Kreme on Veterans Day and get a free doughnut and a small coffee.

National Coffee Day

To celebrate National Coffee Day, October 1, 2022, you can head out to Krispy Kreme and get a free coffee as well as a doughnut. You'll get a free original glazed doughnut and a 12 oz. cup of brewed coffee.
