Is it just me or does it feel like there’s a new food holiday every day? National Ice Cream Day and National Cheeseburger Day are well-known food celebrations, but just last week, I stumbled upon a plethora of lesser-known food holidays in January, such as National Bloody Mary Day and National Corn Chip Day. While it may seem overwhelming to keep track of all these food-centric holidays, there’s always a food establishment somewhere that goes the extra mile to celebrate.
Whether it’s Krispy Kreme offering free doughnuts to mark National Doughnut Day or Kraft distributing grilled cheese-scented incense for National Grilled Cheese Day (yes, you read that correctly), there’s always something exciting to anticipate. Now, with National Bagel Day approaching on January 15, you can expect a free bagel promotion, and Panera Bread is the place to be.
How to Score a Free Bagel at Panera Bread:
Panera Bread is gearing up to celebrate two things this time around. If you haven’t caught wind of it yet, the chain has recently introduced a new lineup of sandwiches featuring its beloved Asiago bagels. To kick off the debut of these new menu items, Panera is offering a complimentary bagel with cream cheese with the purchase of any of its Asiago Bagel Stacks. But, there’s a catch.
Similar to many fast-food promotions, this offer is exclusively available to MyPanera members. So, if you haven’t already enrolled in their free rewards program, the initial step is to sign up either through the app or their website. After becoming a member, all you need to do is purchase one of Panera’s new Asiago Bagel Stacks to qualify for a free bagel with cream cheese. Just remember to select the reward when placing your order, as it won’t be automatically added. This promotion runs from January 15 to January 21 and is limited to one free bagel reward per member. Happy National Bagel Day to all of us!
