Krispy Kreme is offering customers a special pick-me-up on Monday after losing an hour of sleep because of Daylight Saving Time.
At 2 a.m. this Sunday, March 8, the clocks will be jumping forward an hour, making the actual time 3 a.m. While an hour of sleep is lost this weekend, Americans can expect longer evenings, filled with more hours of sunlight, in the days and weeks to come.
The day after the clocks change, Krispy Kreme is giving customers something to look forward to. Guests who purchase any dozen doughnuts Monday will get a free original glazed dozen.
“Because if you’re losing an hour, you might as well gain a dozen,” the brand noted in a press release.
The deal will be available in Krispy Kreme shops while supplies last. Customers can also place orders on the doughnut shop’s app, using the promo code SPRING at checkout to get the deal.
“Daylight Saving Time can leave people running on one less hour of sleep,” Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer, said in a statement. “We’re helping everyone bounce back in one of the sweetest ways we know how – a free Original Glazed dozen when guests buy any dozen.”
Last month, Krispy Kreme celebrated Friday the 13th by giving away 13,000 12-count boxes of original glazed donuts to customers at random across participating locations in the U.S. Winners of the giveaway received a coupon that could be redeemed at a later date for one free dozen.
However, coupons were only valid for a limited time, with winners having 13 days to claim their free dozen donuts, starting February 15.
Aside from freebies, Krispy Kreme launched its new OREO Cookie Collection Doughnuts last week, but only for a limited time. The line-up features three new treats, including the Golden Oreo, which is the brand’s iconic glazed doughnut topped with Golden OREO flavored buttercream, Golden OREO cookie crumbles and rainbow sprinkles.
There’s also the Chocolate Oreo Dream — a glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing and crushed Oreo cookie pieces, before being topped with Chocolate flavored Kreme and an OREO wafer cookie — and the Oreo Cookie and Kreme doughnut, which is filled with Cookie and Kreme filling, dipped in chocolate icing, and topped with Oreo cookie pieces and a drizzle of white icing.
