National Bagel Day 2025: Where to Snag Free Bagels and Hot Deals
National Bagel Day returns on Thursday, January 15, giving bagel lovers across the USA plenty of deals to enjoy. The annual event celebrates the humble bagel, a bread with roots in 17th-century Kraków that later became a global favourite. Many chains and bakeries are offering discounts, freebies, and special promotions to mark the occasion.
The holiday itself has no deep historical ties but grew as a modern food celebration. Bagels first appeared in Jewish-Polish communities before spreading through 19th- and 20th-century immigration to North America. Automation later turned them into a mass-market staple.
Several major chains are joining the festivities with limited-time offers. Einstein Bros. Bagels is giving away a free Bagel & Shmear with any purchase. Bruegger's Bagels rewards members can claim a free bagel with cream cheese when buying anything else. Goldbergs Fine Foods is also handing out a free bagel with cream cheese to customers making a purchase.
For those looking to stock up, Essa Bagels has a bulk deal on Goldbelly: buy 24 bagels, get six free. Albertsons is running a buy-one-get-one-free promotion on Thomas' Bagels. Meanwhile, H&H Bagels rewards members can grab a free bagel and spread sandwich.
Other deals include Barry Bagels, where rewards members get a free bagel with cream cheese when buying another bagel and drink. Biggby Coffee is selling a bagel and cream cheese for just $1 with the purchase of a large specialty drink. Bagel Boss is offering an extra 15% off with the promo code BD15.
The promotions cover everything from single freebies to bulk discounts, giving customers multiple ways to enjoy the day. National Bagel Day highlights how the once-regional bread has become a beloved everyday food. Participating chains and shops will honour the deals on January 15 only.
