When you embark on a mall trip, sooner or later you wind up at Auntie Anne’s, thanks to the sweet and savory smells wafting from the yellow-and-blue storefront. You don’t need an excuse to get a hot pretzel, but on Tuesday, July 26, aka Auntie Day, you have an especially great reason to stop by. Yep, there’s a holiday devoted to Auntie Anne’s hot and doughy pretzels. On Auntie Day, you can score free Auntie Anne’s pretzels and enter a sweepstakes as well a contest for a chance to win cold, hard cash — like a total $30,000. Here’s everything to know about Auntie Day 2022, so you don’t miss out on what might be your new favorite holiday.

Whether or not you knew about Auntie Anne’s Day, one thing is for sure: It wouldn’t be a proper National Auntie Day celebration without a pretzel in hand. And considering it’s a holiday, that should probably be a free pretzel. Holidays and free stuff go hand in hand, right? Well, maybe that’s not the rule, but it’s what you’ll get on Auntie Day. Thankfully, it’s super simple to score your free hot pretzel on July 26.

Get A Free Auntie Anne’s Pretzel On July 26

On Auntie Day, you can get a free Original or Cinnamon Sugar pretzel deal at participating locations. To snag the offer, simply purchase any drink on July 26 through the Pretzels Perk app — current members will see the deal in their app, but if you’re not a member, you’ll need to join and get the deal when you sign up. That’s all there is to it: get your drink and a free hot pretzel is yours for the taking.
