If you’re looking for the ultimate way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year, you’ll want to make a pit stop at Krispy Kreme. On March 16 and 17, the doughnut giant is bringing back a fan-favorite tradition—and they are giving away a lot of freebies in the process.
Whether you’re in it for the festive photos or the chance to win a year of free snacks, here is the breakdown of how to maximize the luck this week.
Wear Green, Get a Free Doughnut
This is the easiest “win” of the holiday. On Monday, March 16, and Tuesday, March 17, anyone who visits a participating Krispy Kreme shop or drive-thru wearing green can walk away with one FREE Green O’riginal Glazed® doughnut.
The best part? No purchase is necessary. Just show up in your festive green gear—whether it’s a lime green tie or a full emerald tracksuit—and grab your treat.
The Return of the Green O’riginal Glazed®
If one isn’t enough (and let’s be honest, it rarely is), the Green O’riginal Glazed® Doughnut is available for purchase both days. You can grab them individually or pick up a full dozen for just $12. It’s a great way to be the hero of the office or your St. Paddy’s Day party without spending a pot of gold.
Win a Year of Free Doughnuts (The Golden Dozen Pass)
