The word “pretzel” is derived from the Italian word “pretiola,” which means “little rewards.” And every year on April 26, which is National Pretzel Day, the little rewards are everywhere. That goes double if you love a butter-laden carb as much as we do.
On this twisted food holiday, we see deals from national pretzel sellers like Auntie Anne’s, Wetzel’s Pretzels, Pretzelmaker, and more — and some of these restaurants are even giving pretzels away.
So are you ready for your little rewards? Here are the discounts and free pretzel deals we expect to see for National Pretzel Day 2026 based on the last event.
Check out our other food discounts, like Monday food deals or Wednesday food deals, that'll get you freebies and coupons.
Offers, prices, savings, and local participation may vary.
National Pretzel Day is an annual 1-day event with free and cheap pretzels.
Pretzel Day celebrations let you get free pretzels without making a purchase at places like Auntie Anne's, Philly Pretzel Factory, and Wetzel's Pretzels. Other places discount their pretzels half-off or require a purchase.
National Pretzel Day happens every year on April 26.
National Pretzel Day is on April 26 every year. In 2026, it's a Sunday.
