Dairy Queen is Offering a New Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard This Winter

— November 22, 2019 — Lifestyle
Though the winter months are usually associated with warm desserts, Dairy Queen's new Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard may just have you craving something cold.

Dairy Queen's new Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard is a festive flavor combination that's perfect for the holidays. The dish consists of creamy DQ soft serve swirled with hunks of rich cocoa fudge, chocolate chunks, and real candy cane pieces. The whole thing is then topped with a generous portion of whipped cream, candy cane pieces, and even more chocolate chunks.

Though the new Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard is slatted to officially arrive on November 25, some consumers have found the festive treat at their local Dairy Queen a little bit early.
