To celebrate the summer solstice, Krispy Kreme has $1 dozen doughnuts

Krispy Kreme is celebrating Thursday’s summer solstice with a deal on doughnuts.

The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. Krispy Kreme has nicknamed it the “Hot Light-est” day of the year and will honor the holiday in a handful of ways.

Between Monday (June 17) and Wednesday, customers can get half-off Original Glazed dozens during Hot Light hours, which are from 5 to 7 p.m, according to the Krispy Kreme website.

Then on Thursday, customers can enjoy a dozen doughnuts for $1 when they purchase any dozen at the regular price.

Krispy Kreme will also surprise randomly selected customers who come to the stores on the summer solstice with a free dozen Original Glazed doughnuts.

“We can’t think of a better way to celebrate summer’s official start than some sweet deals on our iconic Original Glazed dozens,” said Dave Skena, global chief brand officer for Krispy Kreme, in a press release.

To snag the deal on delivery or online orders, use the following promo codes: HOTNOW to receive the Hot Light Happy Hour deal and SUMMER to receive the Hot Light-est Day deal.
