Sunday, April 26th, 2026, is National Pretzel Day — which means there are freebies and deals available. It’s the perfect time to enjoy this favorite snack, full of salty, crusty, chewy goodness.
The origin of pretzels is unknown for certain.
They are sometimes attributed to an Italian monk, who created them as a reward for children who learned their prayers, back in A.D. 610. Another legend says they were invented by German bakers. We love history, but we love eating pretzels more, so keep reading for the scoop on where to find a free one!
