Krispy Kreme celebrates World Kindness Day on Nov. 13 each year. In 2025, you could buy any dozen (including their new menu lineup) for yourself and get a dozen Original Glazed to share.
Krispy Kreme first announced this World Kindness Day deal in November 2023 and brought it back for a second time in 2024. The first two years, customers could get a dozen doughnuts completely free. More recently, the deal (like so many others) isn't as enticing. While we never want to turn down free Krispy Kreme doughnuts, the deal isn't as good when you have to spend $15 on a dozen to earn a free one.
Krispy Kreme World Kindness Day is an annual event where they give customers a free dozen to share with others.
Krispy Kreme celebrates World Kindness Day with a dozen free doughnuts with the purchase of any dozen. This is the perfect promo to show a little kindness to your friends, co-workers, family members, teachers, or whoever you think deserves a little treat for their kindness.
They encourage sharing as part of the promo and invite you to show how you’re sharing kindness by using #KrispyKreme and tagging @krispykreme on social media.
The next World Kindness Day is Nov. 13, 2026.
World Kindness Day began in 1998 and always falls on Nov. 13 each year. Krispy Kreme didn't start giving away free dozens until 2023. We just celebrated its third year at Krispy Kreme and predict we'll see them have the same BOGO free dozen promotion again next year.
This deal includes the build-your-own dozen.
Earlier in November, Krispy Kreme announced a brand new lineup with nine new permanent doughnuts. Build your own dozen with these new flavors and then get a dozen of the Original Glazed for free.
