Dallas, Get Your Glaze On: Krispy Kreme Offers Sweet Solace for Lost Hour

DALLAS, TX – As North Texans begrudgingly prepare to “spring forward” this weekend, a beacon of sugary hope emerges. Krispy Kreme is offering a deliciously simple deal to take the sting out of losing an hour of sleep: a free dozen Original Glazed doughnuts with any purchase.

The promotion is set for this Sunday, March 10th, the official day Daylight Saving Time begins. All you have to do is walk into any participating Krispy Kreme location, including the popular spots in Dallas, Plano, and Fort Worth, mention the “Daylight Saving Time” offer, and buy any item at regular price. That purchase unlocks a free box of a dozen of their iconic, melt-in-your-mouth glazed rings.

“We know that hour hurts, especially on a Sunday,” said a local store manager. “What better way to sweeten the day than by sharing a dozen warm doughnuts with family, friends, or coworkers? It’s a little bit of Southern hospitality to ease the time change blues.”

The offer is valid for in-store and drive-thru customers only, and is limited to one free dozen per guest. While the lost hour is a universal gripe, Dallas residents have an extra reason to celebrate—or commiserate—with a treat. The promotion coincides with what many hope will be a final burst of cool spring weather, perfect for pairing a hot coffee with a fresh, free doughnut.

So, set those clocks forward on Saturday night, and then set your GPS for the nearest Krispy Kreme. That missing hour might just be replaced with a moment of pure, glazed bliss.
