HOUSTON – Krispy Kreme is treating 2020 graduates to a sweet delight during salty times as the coronavirus pandemic causes schools and universities to cancel graduation ceremonies across the country.

It seems like 2020 graduates can’t get a break, especially high school seniors who are not only dealing with the cancelation of prom but also graduation ceremonies. A doughnut can’t fix all their problems but a sweet delight may brighten their day — especially since it’s free.

High school and college seniors along with their families and friends who are not able to celebrate graduation, will be able to purchase a new 2020 Graduate Dozen for the week of May 18 to May 24.

The 2020 Graduate Dozen includes an assortment of classic varieties: Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled, Strawberry Iced Kreme Filled, Cake Batter Filled, Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles, Strawberry Iced with Sprinkles, and Yellow Iced Original Glazed Doughnuts.

Here are the following items 2020 seniors can wear or bring from the list below:

  • 2020 letterman jacket featuring senior status
  • 2020 class ring
