In celebration of World Kindness Day, Krispy Kreme is gearing up to spread joy by giving away free doughnuts. On Wednesday, November 13, the popular bakery chain will offer a complimentary dozen of its original glazed doughnuts to the first 500 customers at participating locations across the United States, both in-store and at the drive-thru, without any purchase necessary.
Krispy Kreme’s Global Chief Brand Officer, Dave Skena, emphasized the significance of this day, stating, “World Kindness Day is a reminder that we can all make a positive impact in people’s lives, including through small gestures like sharing a sweet treat. We hope that each dozen Original Glazed doughnuts we give away enables and inspires many dozens of small acts of kindness.”
Additionally, the chain is encouraging patrons to share their own acts of kindness on social media by using the hashtag #KrispyKreme and tagging @KrispyKreme.
In other news, Krispy Kreme recently unveiled a Thanksgiving-themed collection, featuring four new donut flavors that will be available through the holiday:
1. Chocolate Silk Pie Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing, topped with chocolate buttercream and curls.
2. Lemon Crème Pie Doughnut: An unglazed shell filled with lemon pie filling, dipped in lemon icing with graham crunch, and finished with a meringue buttercream dollop.
3. Blueberry Crisp Doughnut: An unglazed shell filled with blueberry filling, dipped in blueberry icing, and topped with a streusel.
4. Apple Crumble Doughnut: An unglazed shell filled with apple pie filling, topped with pie crust buttercream and a cinnamon cookie crumb topping.
The chain operates 22 locations in Texas, making it accessible for many to participate in the World Kindness Day celebration.
In a world where small gestures can bring great joy, Krispy Kreme’s initiative is a delightful reminder that kindness, like their doughnuts, can be sweet and uplifting. This event not only enhances community spirit but also encourages everyone to reflect on their own contributions to kindness.
