Free Krispy Kreme Donuts For July 4: How To Get One

CHARLOTTE, NC — Krispy Kreme is getting a patriotic makeover for a limited time as the national donut chain announced Monday it is launching a new line of red, white and blue donuts to celebrate the 4th of July.

The "I Heart America" collection will have four new America-themed donuts for a limited time. That's not the only good news for Krispy Kreme customers, as the Charlotte-based chain also announced it is giving away free donuts to patriotic patrons. Any customer who wears red, white and blue at participating stores will receive a free donut of their choice every day through July 4, according to a company news release.

Then, from Friday through Monday, customers will receive a free dozen original glazed donuts when they purchase a dozen donuts at regular price.

Here is a look at the four donuts debuting in the "I Heart America" collection:

• Soaring Firework Heart: A heart-shaped donut filled with Strawberries & Kreme, dipped in red icing and decorated with an icing drizzle and star sugar piece.
• Patriotic Cookies & Kreme Heart: A heart-shaped donut filled with Cookies & Kreme, dipped in white icing and topped with cookie and icing drizzles.
• Stars & Stripes Heart: A heart-shaped donut filled with Kreme, dipped in white icing and decorated like a flag with a red icing drizzle and a star sprinkle blend.
• Star Spangled Sprinkle: A glazed donut dipped in blue icing and topped with red and white star sprinkles.

Krispy Kreme also is running a pair of summer-long promotions. Customers can sample a hot, fresh original glazed donut daily through Labor Day when the Hot Light is on at participating stores.

As part of its "Beat The Pump" promotion, Krispy Kreme will set the price of a dozen original glazed donuts each Wednesday based on the national average price of a gallon of regular gasoline, according to AAA.
