Christmas is getting its ass totally whooped today by everyone's favorite new holiday: National Doughnut Day.*
What is National Doughnut Day? Well, it happens on June 3 and is basically a celebration of fried round things—it was kicked off in 1938 by the Salvation Army to celebrate their "Doughnut Lassies" who gave sweets to the troops during WWII—and a time when purveyors of those fried round things tend to give them away for free or offer great special deals.
Doughnuts. For free. Be still our palpitating hearts!
Your local doughnut shop probably has a deal going...but two national big players are also getting in on the #NationalDonutDay game. Here's how you can score free doughnuts across America:
Dunkin' Donuts
The chain that keeps America running is offering a free doughnut (glazed, jelly, Bostom Kreme or strawberry frosted) when you purchase a drink. Find your nearest store here.
Tick tock. It's almost time to get your FREE donut w/ any beverage purchase on #NationalDonutDay Friday 6/3!https://t.co/aVDwPeNGJZ

Krispy Kreme
You can get a free doughnut of any variety at your local Krispy Kreme (unless you're in Connecticut, sorry), with no purchase necessary. That's right. Step right up, open your hands and say, "DOUGHNUT." Find your nearest location here.
