'Dairy Queen' recently unveiled a holiday shake that is infused with a beloved Christmas treat. With the holiday season fast-approaching, many restaurants are rolling out seasonal dishes. This frozen dessert offers a tasty way to indulge in holiday candy.
The new 'Candy Cane Oreo Blizzard' is a combination between the traditional 'Oreo Blizzard' and the holiday-themed 'Candy Cane Blizzard.' The hybrid treat is made from vanilla soft serve, which has been infused with Oreo cookie pieces and bits of peppermint candy. Those who order the festive treat can choose to enjoy it in a cup or in a waffle cone. The holiday shake can even be ordered as part of a Blizzard cake.
The new candy cane-flavored shake is available now until December at all Dairy Queen locations.
