St. Patrick’s Day 2023 freebies, promotions and deals: Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’, McDonalds…
It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and it’s the perfect time to celebrate, especially with popular restaurants offering green treats and special deals on food and drinks.
St. Patrick may be the patron saint of Ireland, but Americans have learned to celebrate his feast day in their own special way- from dyeing the Chicago river green to drinking green beer.
Those who wish to join the feasting can take advantage of emerald-colored offerings in restaurants, special deals, and even freebies that are available on St. Patrick’s Day.
Free doughnuts
If you’re a doughnut lover, wear green and head over to Krispy Kreme and you will get a free original glazed doughnut. You don’t even have to buy anything to receive it! Just go in the store or drive through in your green attire for your freebie.
If you want to get more into the spirit of the day and don’t mind spending a little, they have some themed offerings such as the Hat O’Gold Doughnut and the Rainbow Kreme Filled Doughnut, which will be available for a limited time.
Our Original Glazed doughnuts are going GREEN today, 3/16 & tomorrow, 3/17 only! 🍀💚 Stop by a participating shop wearing green & we'll even give you a FREE one!🍩 #StPatricksDay pic.twitter.com/VkNKvuQRI3

McDonald’s green shakes
For fans of the Shamrock Shake, McDonald’s has brought the concoction of vanilla ice cream, mint syrup, and whipped cream back for the festivities this year. If that’s not enough sugar for you, you could have another cold dessert- the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry.
Every year, for St Patrick's Day, Mcdonald's in America does a special mint milkshake called a Shamrock Shake.

Irish coffee without the kick
Dunkin’ has a little something for coffee lovers, with the return of its Irish Creme Flavored Coffee. This is not like the classic Irish coffee though, as it is non-alcoholic. It’s a mix of vanilla and Irish cream flavors, served hot or iced. Dunkin’ rewards members can get a medium Irish Creme iced coffee for only two dollars until March 31.
A healthier green drink
If you want a cold St. Paddy’s drink that has fewer calories, you can try out Jamba Juice’s green juices. If you buy a green smoothie during the holiday, you can get a second one at 50% off.
