The temperatures may drop, but our love for Dairy Queen will never stop.
DQ Just Brought Back Both of Its Most Popular Seasonal Treats
Published on Nov. 25, 2024
Ice cream in the middle of winter may sound loony to some, but for me, it’s a way of life. No matter the weather, I’ll order iced coffees, frozen yogurts and the Chick-fil-A Peppermint Milkshake until it’s all pried from my frozen hands.
Even when the weather outside is frightful, no one does a chilly treat better than the Queen herself. Dairy Queen, that is. She’s particularly close to my heart since she started up on Route 66 in my home state of Illinois back in 1940. She’s been a state staple ever since, with her signature Blizzard debuting on the menu in 1985. Now everyone knows her—I’m so proud.
This holiday season will see the comeback of two iconic Dairy Queen menu items, and we can’t wait to take a big, cold bite.
What is the December Blizzard of the month?
If you’re a true DQ fan, you know the Blizzard of the Month changes, well, every month. The delicious Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard is back for December, baby!
The Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard consists of cocoa fudge blended with Dairy Queen soft serve, peppermint candy cane pieces and chocolate chunks, all topped with a hearty hat of whipped topping and candy cane sprinkles. It’s truly a treat to behold, even when it’s flipped upside down.
When does the DQ Frozen Hot Chocolate Drop?
Right alongside the Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard, DQ is servin’ up its delicious Frozen Hot Chocolate starting on November 25. The DQ Frozen Hot Chocolate features a rich cocoa fudge blended with vanilla soft serve and DQ’s Misty Slush. It’s then finished with whipped topping and a heaping of chocolate drizzle. This is for people who want hot chocolate with a cool twist.
How long will both treats be available?
You can grab the Blizzard and the Frozen Hot Chocolate at participating U.S. locations starting November 25, 2024, for a limited time. While there are no specifics, it’s likely they’ll exit your DQ after the holidays have concluded. Just remember, no matter how cold it gets, it’s never the wrong time for Dairy Queen.
