On my job, Juneteenth was observed by (among other things) doling out many boxes of Pinkbox donuts. https://www.pinkboxdoughnuts.com/
If you're not familiar with them, they are quite good.

A significant number of employees complained about the company's insensitivity in serving Pinkbox on Juneteenth.

Pinkbox's gimmick seems to be all of their speciality donuts. When it comes to plain glazed I still prefer Krispy Kreme, they seem to be lighter.

Frankly, I really miss Jolly Roger donuts.

Are donuts insufficiently celebratory?

I judged them as tasty enough.
