Here’s how to get free donuts at Krispy Kreme on Wednesday

Krispy Kreme plans to spread a little joy with a special treat in honor of World Kindness Day 2024.

On Wednesday (November 13), the popular American donut chain is celebrating World Kindness Day by offering free treats to some lucky customers.

At participating stores and drive-thru locations, the first 500 customers will receive a free box of a dozen Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Donuts.

Krispy Kreme Global Chief Brand Officer Dave Skena emphasized the importance of offering “small gestures” that make a big difference during this year’s international holiday. “World Kindness Day is a reminder that we can all have a positive impact on people’s lives, even through small gestures like sharing a sweet treat,” he said in an official press release.

“We hope that every dozen Original Glazed Donuts we give away will enable and inspire dozens of small acts of kindness,” Skena continued.

World Kindness Day was first created in 1998 to encourage acts of kindness around the world and show how these sweet gestures can have a greater positive impact on individuals and communities. The aim is to motivate people to take a few moments out of their busy lives and encourage generosity.

Krispy Kreme franchises in the UK are also offering free donuts on November 13th. The first 100 customers to enter participating stores can claim a free glazed donut when they say, “Show me donut love.”

While the brand is only giving away its plain glazed donuts for free, customers are welcome to indulge in a new selection of fried delights inspired by the upcoming holiday season.

On November 7, Krispy Kreme introduced this year’s Thanksgiving menu items, including four new flavors. Now during the holidays, guests can indulge in Chocolate Silk Cake, Lemon Cream Cake, Blueberry Crisp and Apple Crumb Donuts with creamy fillings and crunchy toppings.

“There is nothing more meaningful and traditional this time of year than spending time around the table with those we love,” Skena said in a press release posted on the company’s website. “Our new Thanksgiving Pies donut collection was created with this in mind, to bring people together and sweeten the season of sharing joy and gratitude.”
