Is it just me or is Krispy Kreme is always looking for a reason to celebrate? I'm not complaining, because it usually means free doughnuts. Every December, they celebrate the number 12 with their annual Krispy Kreme Day of the Dozens.
Because of the twelves in the date (12/12, get it?) Krispy Kreme does what they pretty much always do — give away FREE doughnuts. When Dec. 12 rolls around, you'll get a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for free when you buy any dozen.
Here's how you can get the Day of the Dozens deal — plus more opportunities to get free Krispy Kreme doughnuts all year long.
