Celebrate National Croissant Day 2025: Must-try deals, discounts and delicious treats await

No one needs an excuse to unravel a flaky, buttery croissant, but January 30, National Croissant Day, provides one extra reason with stores offering deals.

Deals to celebrate National Croissant Day 2025

Croissants are a heavenly delight that, while considered more a breakfast food, can be enjoy anytime of day thanks to its combination of savoriness and sweetness. Flaky on the outside, once opened it reveals a tender buttery rich interior that complements many spreads and toppings.

Today it is the quintessential French pastry, but it has its origins in the ‘kipferl’ from Austria. This baked bread roll made from yeasted wheat bread is common across Central Europe and has been around since at least the 13th century. However, the French made their own modifications to give us the pastry that we know today as the croissant.

The Kipferl was brought to Paris in 1839 as far as we know according to the Institute of Culinary Education. An Austrian artillery officer named August Zang established a Viennese bakery in the French capital beginning an obsession among its residents.

In 1915, Sylvain Claudius Goy is credited with giving us the layered pastry that we know today when he began folding layers of butter into the yeasted wheat dough creating the croissant’s succulent lamination that makes one drool just thinking about it.

So if you now have a hankering for this delicacy, good news! January 30 is National Croissant Day and to celebrate stores have deals and discounts that you can take advantage of. Here’s a look.
