10 Creative (and Hilarious) Ways to Eat Your Doughnuts

National Doughnut Day is officially the sweetest day of the year — and if you’re part of our National Doughnut Day Fundraising Social Media Challenge, you already know it’s more than just about grabbing a box and calling it a day. It’s about making your fundraiser fun, memorable, and a little ridiculous (in the best way possible).

 

That’s where the National Doughnut Day social media challenge comes in! Not only are you raising money for your cause, but you’re also invited to show off your most creative doughnut-eating moves. Whether you’re running a fundraiser with friends, family, your school, or your co-workers, this is your chance to stand out, and eat big.

 

Need some inspo? I’ve rounded up 10 creative (and totally doable) ways you can eat your doughnuts and rack up those sweet challenge points.

 

🍩 10 Creative (and Hilarious) Ways to Eat a Doughnut

 

The No-Hands, All-Face Challenge

 

Place your doughnut on a plate (or hang it on a string if you’re feeling bold), and eat it with no hands allowed. It’s messy, hilarious, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for your social feed. Bonus points if you can finish it without it falling apart.

 

The Doughnut Stack Attack

 

Stack 3+ doughnuts into a tower and attempt to take a single bite through all of them. It’s a jaw-stretching, picture-perfect moment you’ll definitely want to post for #EatYourDozen.

The Upside-Down Bite

 

Sometimes the easiest way to mix things up is to literally flip the script. Turn your doughnut upside down and take a bite. It sounds pointless, but trust us, it’s weirdly satisfying. Something about starting with the bottom hits different. Perfect for those “I need a little chaos today” moods.

 

Speed Round: 1-Minute Munch

 

See how many bites you can take in 60 seconds (without choking, obviously — safety first, people). Post your count and challenge a friend to beat your record for the fundraiser.

 

The Dip-and-Devour

 

Pick your weirdest dip: hot sauce, peanut butter, chocolate milk, or even ranch dressing (if you dare). Dunk your doughnut and take the plunge. The reactions alone are worth a feature on the challenge highlight reel.

 

The Doughnut Sandwich

 

Slice a glazed doughnut in half and stuff it with something unexpected. Ice cream? Sure. Crispy bacon? Why not. Peanut butter and banana? Absolutely. It turns a simple snack into an event. Bonus: post a pic with your creation and tag #EatYourDozen — you’ll be a fundraising hero.

The Speed Round

 

Set a timer for one minute and see how much doughnut you can eat. No pressure to finish the whole thing, just beat your own record. This one’s a quick, hilarious break activity for your fundraising events or office snack time.

 

The Lady-and-the-Tramp Bite

 

Grab a friend, pick a doughnut, and eat from opposite sides until you meet in the middle. It’s like that spaghetti scene, but sticky and way funnier. Perfect for couples, besties, or random coworkers you’ve decided to bond with over pastry.

 

The Flavor Shuffle

 

Get a mixed dozen, number them, and pull numbers out of a hat to decide which one to eat next. Keeps things interesting and works great for those last-minute “let’s make this a game” situations. You can even mix in a mystery doughnut to keep people on their toes.

 

The Selfie Bite

 

Honestly, if you didn’t take a bite selfie, did you even eat a doughnut? Snap a pic mid-bite and share it with your best “I take my pastries seriously” face. Works especially well if you’re joining the #EatYourDozen challenge — bonus points for the messiest one.

 

Because Life’s Too Short for Boring Bites

 

At the end of the day, a doughnut is meant to be enjoyed. Whether you’re savoring it slowly, stuffing it into an ice cream sandwich, or dangling it from a string like a carnival prize, what matters is that you’re having fun with it. Food should be an experience — not just a transaction.

 

So next time you grab a dozen (especially if you’re hopping in on the #EatYourDozen challenge), try one of these ridiculous, joyful, and totally doable ways to eat your doughnuts. Or invent your own. The world is your glaze-covered playground.

 

And if anyone asks why you’re eating a doughnut upside down while blindfolded, just tell them you’re making memories. Because isn’t that what it’s all about?
