Allrecipes' editorial guidelines Published on March 12, 2024 Close Photo: Adobe/Allrecipes If there’s a change in season, or a big holiday coming up, you can count on Krispy Kreme to release delicious doughnuts that capture the spirit of the theme. Last month, the bakery partnered with Hershey’s on a Chocomania Collection, which wasn’t specifically seasonal, but was definitely delicious. Before that, it released its Valentine’s Day Dough-Notes Collection, heart-shaped doughnuts—the perfect sweets for your sweet. The brand even started the year with a Biscoff Collection that included a too-good-to-be-true (but was) doughnut “filled with cookie butter cheesecake, dipped in cookie butter icing, and topped with Biscoff cookie crumbles and cookie butter icing.” Never one to let a special collection languish on the shelves until fans grow bored, Krispy Kreme has an all-new St. Patrick’s Day Collection with holiday-themed doughnut flavors including Luck of the Rainbow Doughnut, Shamrock Cookies 'N Kreme, Plaid Party Doughnut, and Shooting Shamrock Doughnut. This Friday, it’s also bringing back a fan-favorite St. Patrick’s Day treat, the O'riginal Glazed Doughnut. It’s like Krispy Kreme’s signature Original Glazed but the cake and the glaze are green. How to Get a Free Krispy Kreme O'riginal Glazed Doughnut Krispy Kreme loves to give out free doughnuts. Just last week, it treated customers to two Original Glazed Doughnuts on "Super Twosday" (which coincided with primary election season’s Super Tuesday), with no purchase necessary. This weekend, from Friday, March 15 through Sunday, March 17, the bakery is giving away a free O'riginal Glazed Doughnut to all customers. There’s no additional purchase necessary, but there is one small catch—you must be wearing green to get the bakery treat. The deal is good in the shop or via the drive-thru. The O'riginal Doughnuts are also available for purchase by the dozen. Even if you’re not planning on celebrating St. Patrick’s Day any other way, start digging in your closet now for something green to wear to Krispy Kreme to snag your free green doughnut!
