Celebrate National Donut Day With Glazed Glory: Krispy Kreme’s 2-Week Promo Includes $0.13 Dozen Deal and Free Donuts Sweepstakes

Today, Friday, June 6, 2025, marks National Donut Day in the United States—a sweet tradition that dates back to 1938. Established by The Salvation Army in Chicago, the holiday honors the “Donut Lassies,” women who served donuts to soldiers during World War I, and also served as a fundraiser during the Great Depression.

To celebrate, many donut shops nationwide are offering free treats and special deals. Krispy Kreme is giving away a free donut of any variety to all guests—no purchase necessary. Additionally, customers can purchase a dozen Original Glazed donuts for just $2 with the purchase of any other dozen at regular price.
