It’s that time of year again—National Donut Day is back on Friday, June 6, and the sugar rush is about to get serious. Whether you like yours glazed, filled, or twisted, this is the one day you can indulge guilt-free and score some free treats while you’re at it.
The holiday isn’t just about free food. National Donut Day was started by The Salvation Army back in 1938 to honor the “Donut Lassies,” women who served donuts to American troops during World War I. Today, the organization keeps the spirit alive by giving out donuts to veterans and hosting events across the country, including a donut-eating championship at the National World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C.
But let’s be real, most of us are here for the deals, and the lineup this year doesn’t disappoint.
Dunkin’ is giving away a free classic donut when you buy any beverage. And if you’re a fan of cute collabs, they’ve partnered with Stoney Clover Lane for a donut-inspired merch drop—think pouches, charms, and tumblers available online and in select stores starting June 6.
Krispy Kreme is going all in. No purchase necessary—just walk in and claim a free donut of your choice. They’re also offering a dozen Original Glazed for just $2 when you buy any dozen at regular price. That kicks off their “14 Days of Original Glazed” promo with more perks rolling out through June 20 for rewards members.
So whether you’re celebrating the history, chasing the sugar high, or just looking for a reason to treat yourself, National Donut Day is the move. Get in where you fit in and grab those freebies before they’re gone.
