2025 graduates can get free Krispy Kreme doughnuts for a year on May 28: Here's how

Who needs a graduation party when you can have doughnuts?

Krispy Kreme is offering free three-packs of original glazed doughnuts to the Class of 2025 on Wednesday, May 28. The bakery chain confirmed it will also offer its new "Dough-ploma" certificate that reads, "Congratulations Lucky Grad!"

Inspired by Dr. Seuss’s "Oh, the Places You’ll Go!" the degree grants high school and college graduates with a dozen original glazed doughnuts every month for one year. The deal is valid from June 2025 through May 2026, according to the company.

"The Class of 2025 soon will be off to great places and Krispy Kreme is a sweet place to start," Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme's chief growth officer, said in a statement. "Congratulations to each and every one of you. May 28 is your day! Come by Krispy Kreme before you’re off and away."

To make commencement season sweeter for non-2025 graduates, the chain is offering a dozen original glazed doughnuts for $12 on May 28 to all guests. There's a limit of four dozen per guest, or 48 total doughnuts.

How to get a Krispy Kreme graduation deal

To receive a free three-pack of original glazed doughnuts, graduates must wear their Class of 2025 cap and gown or other senior year attire to a Krispy Kreme location on May 28. The offer is only available while supplies last, according to Krispy Kreme.

The chain is also bringing K-12 students in on the fun with a free doughnut for up to six A grades on a current report card at a time throughout this summer. Students and their report cards must be in the store for the deal.
