Dairy Queen is opening up the DQ Freezer – its vault of retired flavors – and asking fans which BLIZZARD Treat should make a triumphant (and tasty) return.
Starting December 9th, Dairy Queen fans can have their say on which flavor will be brought back from the depths of the DQ Freezer. In total, there are three retired flavors to choose from. First is the S’mores Blizzard, which was originally introduced in 2013 and features vanilla soft serve, graham cracker pieces, marshmallows, and mini marshmallow-filled chocolate bars. Next is the Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard, which combines velvety fudge sauce with brownie chunks and crunchy pecan pieces. Finally, there's the Cappuccino Heath Blizzard, which features a vanilla soft serve and coffee base, mixed with sweet Heath bar crumbles.
To vote in the competition, you’ll need to download the DQ app and sign up for the free rewards program.
