Krispy Kreme fans are in for a sweet treat as revelers prepare to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

The Charlotte-based doughnut chain will treat anyone wearing green to one free O’riginal Glazed Doughnut on March 16 and March 17, the company announced in a news release.

The chain is putting a green spin on its classic doughnuts for two days only in honor of the festive holiday. Fans can pick up a free, green doughnut in store or via drive-thru at participating stores nationwide, while supplies last. The deal is limited to one doughnut per customer, per day.

Krispy Kreme also unveiled its latest St. Patrick’s Day collection featuring four new doughnuts:

  • One decorated like a leprechaun with green, black and orange icing (320 calories, 31 grams of sugar)
  • A glazed doughnut dipped in green icing and sprinkles and topped with a sugar-piece rainbow (300 calories, 28 grams of sugar)
  • A creme-filled doughnut dipped in white icing and topped with a blend of sprinkles (360 calories, 25 grams of sugar)
  • An original doughnut dipped in green icing and topped with sprinkles (250 calories, 23 grams of sugar.)

“While many have questioned what’s really at the end of a rainbow, this year we’re all in luck that it’s a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts,” Chief Marketing Officer Dave Skena said in a statement.
