Krispy Kreme Is Dropping Free Green Doughnuts for St. Patrick’s Day – But There’s a Catch

March 13, 2025

Listen up, besties – Krispy Kreme is coming through with free doughnuts this St. Patrick’s Day weekend, but only if you’re repping that festive green vibe. No, seriously. If you show up to a participating Krispy Kreme location wearing green from March 15 to March 17, you’ll score a free O’riginal Glazed Doughnut. No purchase necessary. Just good ol’ sugar-coated luck.

What’s an O’riginal Glazed Doughnut?

Think: the classic, iconic Krispy Kreme Original Glazed but dipped in leprechaun magic (aka, it’s green). Same taste, same melt-in-your-mouth goodness, but with a little extra holiday spirit.

The Ultimate Golden Ticket Moment

And because Krispy Kreme knows how to turn a good thing into a GREAT thing, they’re also handing out “Pot of Gold Passes” on March 17. Translation? Some lucky doughnut lovers will win FREE Original Glazed dozens for a whole year – that’s one dozen per month from April 2025 through March 2026. Manifesting this win for all of us.

How to Snag Your Free St. Paddy’s Doughnut

Put on literally anything green – a shirt, a hat, socks, maybe even a shamrock onesie.
Walk, run, or teleport to a participating Krispy Kreme location.
Show up in-store or roll through the drive-thru.
Collect your free, festive, and very green doughnut.

Limited-Edition Doughnuts = Major FOMO

If one freebie isn’t enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, Krispy Kreme also launched four new St. Patrick’s Day-inspired doughnuts that might just convince you to grab a whole box.

Pot of Gold Doughnut: Caramel-flavored icing, buttercream, and gold coin sprinkles. Basically, dessert heaven.

Over the Rainbow Doughnut: Cake batter Kreme-filled with rainbow sprinkles and a lil’ sugar rainbow. It’s giving 🍀✨🌈.
Choco-Shenanigans Doughnut: Chocolate and white Kreme collide, topped with green drizzle and gold sprinkles. Chocolate lovers, this one’s for you.
St. Patty’s Swirl Doughnut: A classic Glazed with white icing, a green swirl, and gold sanding sugar. A lil’ fancy, a lot delicious.

So, if you needed an excuse to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day this year, Krispy Kreme just gave you one – and it’s covered in sugar. Will we see you in line? 👀
