Holiday season has a funny way of making your wallet feel lighter before you've even bought a single gift. So here's the good news. There's real free stuff out there this month, and none of it needs a credit card.
This month's list is packed with freebies. You'll find free meals and haircuts to thank veterans and active military, plus a free coffee drink and a pet toy. There are also hands-on kids' workshops with holiday crafts to build and bring home. Grab what fits your family and skip the rest.
How we picked: these are the top-rated holiday offers on TrySpree right now. Every one is free to request, with no credit card or purchase. All were live when we put this list together on November 1.
