Krispy Kreme Sells A 13-Cent Original Glazed Dozen On Friday, November 13, The First Friday The 13th To Land On World Kindness Day Since 2020
Krispy Kreme is selling a second dozen of Original Glazed doughnuts for 13 cents on Friday, November 13, for anyone who buys a dozen at regular price that day. The one-day deal marks a calendar overlap: Friday the 13th falls on World Kindness Day this year, which the company says last happened in 2020 and won’t happen again until 2037, according to its November 12 announcement.
How the 13-cent dozen works
Here are the terms as Krispy Kreme lists them.
- When: Friday, November 13, only.
- The deal: buy any dozen at regular price and get a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for 13 cents.
- Where: participating Krispy Kreme shops across the US, in the shop or for pickup or delivery through the Krispy Kreme app and website.
- Promo code: 13.
- Limit: one 13-cent dozen per guest, while supplies last.
Not every shop takes part, so the shop locator is worth a look before heading out.
The idea, in Krispy Kreme’s telling, is to keep one dozen and give the other away. “Friday the 13th may have an unlucky reputation, but we think it’s the perfect day to make someone’s day,” said Alison Holder, the company’s chief brand and product officer.
What can go in the full-price dozen
The first dozen can be any dozen, which leaves room for both of Krispy Kreme’s seasonal menus. The Holiday Collection has Hot Cocoa, Sugar Cookie and Caramel Toffee Cheesecake doughnuts. The Thanksgiving Collection has Berry Cobbler, Caramel Pumpkin, Double Chocolate Crumble and the returning Cinnamon Apple Filled. Krispy Kreme says both are sold in shops and through its app and website, one at a time or by the dozen, while supplies last.
For a dozen of a different kind to hand to a neighbor, our Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies start from brown sugar and melted butter, can be rolled in sugar before baking, and make a batch of 20.
