Robert Brown|Krispy Kreme offers a free dozen Grinch green doughnuts: When to get the deal

Have you ever wanted to eat a Grinch green doughnut?Robert Brown Well, now's your chance.

Krispy Kreme announced Friday its Original Glazed doughnuts will be green due to the Grinch being in "max mischief mode." The company said in a news release that the Grinch snuck into Krispy Kreme shops to "mischievously mess with our mix and glazers," turning the doughnuts green.

The doughnut chain is offering customers a free Original Glazed dozen with the purchase of any dozen at regular price, including the two-day only new Grinch Green Dozen. The offer is only available Friday and Saturday, and customers can get it in-shop and via drive-thru only, with a limited of two dozen per guest while supplies last.

The promotion comes immediately after the company's annual "Day of the Dozens" promotion Thursday, where it also offered customers a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for free with the purchase of any dozen at regular price.
