Halloween has not yet passed, but Dairy Queen has already felt a winter breeze coming on. For them, it’s time to begin prepping for the upcoming holiday season. The fast food chain is known for its sweet treats, specifically the Blizzard that blends soft-serve ice cream and various mix-ins to create a thick frozen dessert that famously does not pour out of the cup, even when turned upside-down. Recently, the brand has been stepping up its game in terms of seasonal menus, expanding its offerings to appeal to a wider audience. The summer 2025 menu featured cotton candy, strawberry cheesecake, and s’mores Blizzards. In August, the brand released a fall treat menu that includes pumpkin spice, caramel toffee, and maple flavors. Most recently, DQ announced the Oreo Reese’s Blizzard, a blend of two iconic candy flavors in one frozen dessert, as its October Blizzard of the Month.
On October 27, Dairy Queen revealed its newest menu yet: the Holiday Treats Collection. This menu features three frozen treats packed full of holiday cheer, two of which are completely new. The desserts are available now for a limited time only while supplies last, so hurry over to your local DQ store for a taste of holiday spirit.
What are the Blizzards on the Dairy Queen holiday menu?
The all-new Peppermint Bark Blizzard treat is the November Blizzard of the Month. It is DQ’s take on one of the most iconic holiday drinks of all: peppermint hot chocolate (ice cream edition). It features classic DQ soft serve blended with peppermint pieces and rich layers of creamy white and milk chocolate. The cool bursts of peppermint and sweet ice cream blend for a perfectly balanced taste of holiday spirit in every spoonful.
After its smashing success in 2022 when it was first released, Dairy Queen had to bring back the Frosted Sugar Cookie Blizzard as its December Blizzard of the Month. This iconic holiday dessert blends sugar cookie pieces, icing, and rainbow sprinkles with classic soft serve for a sweet but mellow flavor that evokes a peaceful winter morning. I can just imagine the snow falling down as I enjoy this chilly treat. Although it’s not the most flavorful sweet treat out there, sometimes simple really is the best.
What else is on the Dairy Queen holiday menu?
Dairy Queen is bringing in another classic holiday drink with their all-new Holiday Nog Shake flavor. This shake mixes soft serve and milk with eggnog syrup for a warm, spiced flavor. The shake is topped with whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg to up the sweetness and spice. It is sure to become a fan favorite as we draw ever closer to the holiday season. After all, who needs a piping hot holiday drink when you can have it as ice cream instead?
