December 4th is National Cookie Day each year. In 2025, that lands on a Thursday. 

The day tends to get lost in the holiday season, but there are a few places handing out FREE cookies, as well as some really affordable cookie gift box samplers that you can order online.

We’ll update as we learn of new freebies!

And do you know who loves cookies? SANTA CLAUS. Check out our huge list of over 100 opportunities to get a FREE photo with Santa this holiday season — many of the events include free cookies or cocoa.
