Mardi Gras, which falls on March 4 this year, is set to be a little sweeter for doughnut lovers, as Krispy Kreme is hosting a delightful giveaway to celebrate Fat Tuesday. The popular doughnut chain is offering a free Original Glazed Doughnut to customers, and the best part is that no purchase is necessary.
To claim this sweet treat, all you have to do is wear Mardi Gras beads of any color to a participating Krispy Kreme shop. Whether you choose to use the drive-thru or walk in, both options are valid for getting your free doughnut. However, there is a limit of one free doughnut per person, so it’s advisable to pick your favorite Krispy Kreme location carefully.
The reason behind this giveaway on Fat Tuesday is rooted in tradition. Fat Tuesday is the last day of indulgence before Lent commences on Ash Wednesday. It’s a time when people traditionally enjoy sweets before the period of fasting begins, and Krispy Kreme is embracing this custom with its free doughnut offer.
For those planning to take advantage of this deal, here are some pro tips. First, don’t be too picky about the beads; even those from a St. Patrick’s Day parade will do the trick. Second, keep an eye on the “Hot Now” light at the shop. There’s nothing quite like the taste of a fresh, warm glazed doughnut straight off the production line. And finally, consider pairing your free doughnut with a cup of coffee. After all, a free doughnut deserves a perfect sidekick.
While it may not be the traditional Mardi Gras king cake, a free Original Glazed Doughnut from Krispy Kreme is certainly a great incentive to dig out those beads and head to a participating store on March 4.
