There are a lot of exciting things that happen in June, including the first day of summer, aka the longest day of the year. But nothing's more exciting than June's tastiest holiday, National Doughnut Day. This year, the delicious holiday takes place on Friday, June 7, and it gives you an excuse to eat doughnuts all day, for any meal, non-stop. Need more reason to chow down? These National Doughnut Day 2019 deals on June 7 will help you celebrate the sweet holiday in style.

If you're anything like me, National Doughnut Day is every day. But according to National Day Calendar, the holiday officially takes place on the first Friday of June each year and has a deeper significance than just Americans' love for doughnuts. National Doughnut Day honors a group of women called the Salvation Army Lassies who served soldiers doughnuts in the early 1900s, during World War I. According to National Day Calendar, the doughnuts these women made and handed out were often cooked inside oil in the metal helmets of U.S. soldiers and served on the front lines to soldiers fighting in the war.

Today, National Doughnut Day can be celebrated by enjoying your favorite kind of doughnut (or doughnuts, if everyone's going to be honest with themselves) from your favorite doughnut spot. To help you satisfy your sweet tooth on this holiday, here are eight deals for National Doughnut Day on June 7 that should do the trick.
