Dairy Queen brings back two festive treats for the 2024 holiday season
With the holiday season underway, Dairy Queen is celebrating the return of two festive frozen desserts to its menu.
Available now, the restaurant chain says, are the Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard and DQ Frozen Hot Chocolate.
The Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard, which is DQ's December Blizzard of the Month, and the Frozen Hot Chocolate treat give customers the familiar flavor of a cocoa drink with a twist – they are frozen.
Both items will only be available for a limited time at participating locations across the country, the company said.
Here is a closer look at the two returning holiday treats at Dairy Queen.
