Krispy Kreme is giving away free green doughnuts for St. Patricks Day — how to claim yours
TL;DR: Krispy Kreme is giving away free Green O'riginal Glazed doughnuts on March 16-17. No purchase is necessary to qualify. Simply wear green in-store or via the drive-thru to score one free doughnut per customer.
The number of free food giveaways at the moment is off the chart. You're not going to be able to completely ditch the grocery order, but you can eat your way around Dairy Queen, Ben & Jerry's, and 7-Eleven over the next few weeks and not spent a cent.
Krispy Kreme is the latest retailer to drop a free giveaway, but there's a catch. No, you don't need to spend anything to qualify. You just need to wear green.
To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, Krispy Kreme is bringing back its popular Green O'riginal Glazed Doughnut. And on March 16-17, Krispy Kreme is handing out one free Green O'riginal Glazed Doughnut per customer who wears green in-store or via the drive-thru. Unlike a lot of these "free" promotions, there's no purchase necessary.
And there's more, because 4,000 customers will be randomly selected to receive a "Lucky You Golden Dozen Pass." This includes a whole year's supply of Original Glazed doughnuts — one dozen per month from April 2026 to March 2027.
So dig into your closet and find that green item you've been saving for this special occasion.
