The holiday season is officially here! With Thanksgiving behind us, it’s time to embrace the festive spirit, from gift shopping to cozy family movie nights.
And what’s better than a delicious holiday treat to keep the festivities going? While hot cocoa is the go-to indulgence during the colder months, Dairy Queen has decided to flip the script and offer fans a cool twist on this classic beverage.
Starting November 25, Dairy Queen will debut not one but two irresistible treats: the Frozen Hot Chocolate and the Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard Treat. Whether you’re a chocolate purist or a peppermint enthusiast, there’s a treat for everyone to enjoy this season.
Dairy Queen’s December Blizzard of the Month
Dairy Queen’s holiday lineup star is the Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard Treat, which has already created a buzz among fans. Instagram foodie Markie Devo revealed its return, hyping it as the ultimate holiday flavor.
Here’s what you’ll find in this December favorite:
- Creamy cocoa fudge for a rich chocolatey base.
- Crunchy candy cane pieces that add a festive peppermint kick.
- Rich chocolate chunks for an extra indulgent texture.
- It is topped with a swirl of whipped cream to complete the experience.
Fans are thrilled to welcome back this minty-chocolate delight, with many proclaiming it a holiday must-have. Comments like “Bring on all the peppermint!” and “I’ll be there on the first day!” show how much this flavor has been missed.
Frozen Hot Chocolate Returns to the Menu
If peppermint isn’t your thing, Dairy Queen has you covered with the return of the Frozen Hot Chocolate. This winter favorite combines classic hot chocolate flavors with DQ’s signature frozen touch.
Here’s what makes it unique:
- A blend of cocoa fudge and DQ’s iconic vanilla soft serve.
- A splash of Misty Slush gives it a frosty texture.
- Finished with a topping of whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle for the perfect balance of flavor.
This treat captures the essence of hot chocolate while offering a refreshing twist that’s perfect for any time of day.
