Krispy Kreme introduces a new celebratory iteration of the iconic 'O’riginal Glazed' donut -- it is set to launch on March 15th and will continue to be available until March 17th on St. Patrick's Day. The special donut is crafted to celebrate the Irish holiday, completed in an all-green color without disrupting the delicious taste of the goods. Krispy Kreme also announced that it will be giving away prizes in addition to the new green O’riginal Glazed donuts.
Customers get a chance to win what's called a 'Golden Dozen Pass,' which gives them the opportunity to win a dozen free O’riginal Glazed donuts every month until next year's St. Patrick's Day -- this equals up to about 144 free donuts within the next year.
