The Dairy Queen OREO Snowdrift Blizzard has been announced by the brand as an upcoming menu item for 2026 that will offer fans a delicious way to ring in the new year. The menu item is arriving as the brand's Blizzard of the Month for January 2026 and starts off with a base of ice cream blended with a sky blue cake batter flavoring alongside OREO cookie pieces. The menu item is finished with a swirl of marshmallow to give it a decidedly wintery appearance that doesn't skimp on taste or texture.
The Dairy Queen OREO Snowdrift Blizzard is a limited time offering that will help the brand to capture the attention of fans who might not be naturally craving an ice cream treat in the cold winter months.
