Where to Get Free Bagels on National Bagel Day

The National Day Calendar is riddled with all sorts of food holidays you wouldn’t expect, including national days for Nutella and even corned beef and cabbage. So it should come as no surprise that bagels, too, have their own holiday, and it's coming up soon on January 15. The best part? Several chains and companies are offering deals so you can get your bagel fix for cheap.

While National Bagel Day used to overlap with National Pizza Day on February 9, Thomas’ Bagels registered to make the switch this year so bagels could have a day all of their own. The newly minted holiday kicks off with free bagels, 99-cent bagels, and even a grocery voucher if you know where to look—read on to find all of the deals we’ve found so far, and keep coming back up until the 15th in case more are announced.

The Michigan- and Ohio-based chain will give you an extra bagel and cream cheese for free with your purchase of a bagel and cream cheese and any drink.

Biggby will offer 50 percent off all "bragel" sandwiches—a made-to-order bagel sandwich—on National Bagel Day. Options incude Turkey Havarti, Sausage and Egg, and Ham and Cheese.

Bruegger's Bagels

Head to Bruegger’s on January 15 for a free bagel with cream cheese when you make any purchase. As an added bonus, if you’re a member of the “Inner Circle” rewards program, you can also check in at the store for the chance to win free bagels and cream cheese for an entire year.

Between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m., people can get free bagels at the following locations: Union Station in Chicago, Larimer Square in Denver, Union Station in Los Angeles, 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, and Lynx Central Station in Orlando. One free bagel in every city will have an orange ticket in it, redeemable for a free smart watch—there will also be one golden ticket left randomly in one of the cities with a $2,500 voucher for groceries.
