Every month brings a tempting seasonal Blizzard to Dairy Queen. The Queen knows exactly what fantastic flavor we’ll be craving. (We’re still buzzing about the comeback of the S’mores Blizzard). Nothing hits like a tried-and-true flavor, so we’re ready to welcome back the Red Velvet Blizzard in February!

What is the Red Velvet Blizzard?

This fan-favorite dropped in 2014, and it checks all the dessert boxes. The Red Velvet Blizzard features a blend of rich red velvet cake pieces, sweet cream cheese icing and Dairy Queen’s vanilla soft serve. If you’ve ever had a Portillo’s Cake Shake, you already know what I’m talking about.

The bright pink ice cream mixed with the fluffy red cake pieces makes it such an ideal treat for Valentine’s Day, even if it’s freezing outside. Every season is ice cream season.

Kudos to fast-food fanatic @markie_devo for sharing the news first!

If you’ve ever wondered, What exactly is red velvet?, you’re not alone. This cake gets its color from cocoa powder and its iconic red food coloring. It’s similar to chocolate, but it still holds its own as a unique flavor. Plus, its eye-catching appearance has made it synonymous with all things love. No wonder we have nothing but heart eyes for the Red Velvet Blizzard.

When will DQ have it?

Some Dairy Queen locations may already have the Blizzard available, and the rest should see it on their menus by January 27. It will only be available for a limited time, so get your fill before it flutters away for good. Hopefully, we’ll lock eyes again next year, Red Velvet Cake!
