Depending on your breakfast game, every day might feel like it's a bagel holiday. You might wake up with a warm, chewy, doughy, glutenous ring of joy every morning, but according to the national holiday calendar, January 15 is officially National Bagel Day. To celebrate, you'll want to know about all of the National Bagel Day 2020 deals and freebies, because the only thing better than honoring your favorite breakfast food is getting to enjoy it for free.

Thanks to chain bagel companies for declaring the national holiday, other bagelries are joining in on the fun and offering discounts and deals, spreading love by spreading dough across the country. On this hole-y holiday, you might be able to cash in on freebies, BOGO deals and major discounts that make it the perfect morning to have breakfast with a friend, on the cheap. Enjoy saving money while sinking your teeth into a fresh bagel, after you share a picture of it on social media with the hashtag #nationalbagelday, of course. Or, start off the day by browsing the hashtag to ogle at the options, admire your fellow bagel-loving community members, and get some inspiration for what kind of schmear you should order when you yourself get to the counter.
