Krispy Kreme
Forget a partridge in a pear tree—we’re after a dozen warm, pillowy, freshly glazed doughnuts this Christmas.
Charlotte, North Carolina-based Krispy Kreme is known for their creative themed doughnut collections, especially seasonal and holiday releases. (This fall, we enjoyed the Classic Blackberry Crisp Filled Doughnut and a Spooky Monster Cookies ‘N Kreme Doughnut inspired by Scooby Doo and pals.) Recently, the Southern doughnut chain launched an impressive, very-merry lineup of Elf-themed treats in honor of the film’s 20th anniversary.
If you’re looking for a reason to try the Buddy Makes Breakfast Doughnut (complete with cake batter “spaghetti” buttercream) before it leaves the pastry case, mark your calendar for December 12, Krispy Kreme’s annual “Day of the Dozens.” On this unofficial holiday, guests can purchase one dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for just $1 with the purchase of any dozen (including the Elf collection) or a 16-count Minis at regular price. For a single dollar, that’s around eight measly cents per glazed doughnut—the sweetest deal around!
Valid only December 12, “Day of the Dozens” is the perfect excuse to treat friends, coworkers, neighbors, or teachers to something special. Purchase in-store, at the drive-thru, or online for pick-up or delivery using promo code DOZEN.
This limited-time promotion pairs well with Krispy Kreme’s holiday-inspired Sugar Cookie Latte. A dozen Original Glazed Doughnuts also sub in well to the Southern Cookie Swap if your Pecan Snowballs or Cream Cheese Christmas Cookies fly like hotcakes off the platter.
How will you spread the holiday doughnut cheer this season?
