Recent graduates have an even sweeter reason to celebrate thanks to Krispy Kreme.

The chain announced that it will be doling out free donuts to high school and college graduates who visit participating locations.

Dubbed the "Graduate Dozen," eligible seniors will have their pick of their favorite dozen, including Cake Batter Filled and Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles.

"Krispy Kreme has something sweet for 2021 graduating seniors – and their families and friends – who were unable to enjoy their senior year to the fullest," the company said.

Graduates can show their eligibility by showing up to their local store in a cap and gown or by donning approved 2021 apparel which includes class rings and student IDs.
