Kosher Grads: Krispy Kreme Is Giving Away Free Doughnuts Thursday

If you or someone in your family is graduating this year, tomorrow is worth a detour to a kosher Krispy Kreme location. On Thursday, May 21, 2026, Krispy Kreme is giving away a free three-pack of Original Glazed doughnuts to any high school or college graduate from the Class of 2026, no purchase required.

How to Get the Free Doughnuts

The deal is straightforward. Show up to a participating Krispy Kreme location wearing Class of 2026 gear or graduation regalia, and you’ll get a free three-pack of Original Glazed doughnuts. Qualifying items include a cap and gown with a 2026 tassel, a Class of 2026 t-shirt or sweatshirt, a graduation announcement with your name plus a matching ID, or a student photo ID showing senior status.

The offer is valid in-store and at the drive-thru, and is limited to one three-pack per graduate. It’s a one-day promotion, today only, May 21.

Which Kosher Krispy Kreme Locations Are Still Active

Here’s the important caveat for the kosher community. After a wave of decertifications earlier this year, the kosher Krispy Kreme footprint across the country is considerably smaller than it was just a few months ago. Six locations in New York and New Jersey lost their KOA certification in March, and all Southern California locations dropped KSA supervision shortly after. Before heading out, verify that your local Krispy Kreme is still certified.

The good news is that 73 kosher-certified Krispy Kreme locations across the United States are still active as of the most recent update. Most operate under KOA Kosher Supervision, with some remaining California locations under KSA. Check the full list of kosher Krispy Kreme locations here before you go, and look for certification signage at the store itself, since status can change.

One Day Only

The promotion runs Thursday, May 21, 2026 only. If you missed the May 14 window, this is the last shot. Worth pulling out the mortarboard for.
