How the Blizzard timing works
DQ spots one Blizzard as the featured blizzard month. November highlights the peppermint bark blizzard. December focuses on the sugar cookie blizzard.
When to go: visit in November for the Peppermint Bark Blizzard and in December for the Frosted Sugar Cookie Blizzard. Some stores may carry multiple holiday items at once while supplies last, so it pays to ask at the counter.

|---|---|---|
| Peppermint Bark Blizzard | New holiday (November feature) | $3.49 – $5.29 |
| Holiday Nog Shake | New holiday | $3.99 – $5.49 |
| Frosted Sugar Cookie Blizzard | Returning favorite (December feature) | $3.49 – $5.29 |

Peppermint Bark Blizzard, Frosted Sugar Cookie Blizzard, and Holiday Nog Shake highlights
A trio of seasonal offerings returns with clear identities: mint-chocolate crunch, sugar-cookie comfort, and a spiced shake.
Peppermint Bark details
The peppermint bark blizzard folds white and milk chocolate chunks with candy cane pieces into classic vanilla soft serve. Each spoonful mixes chocolate bits and cane crunch with the chill of vanilla base.
Why “vanilla roots” matters
“Vanilla roots” means the soft serve stays plain so mix-ins deliver the holiday notes. The peppermint reads lighter because the bark and candy cane pieces carry most of the mint.
Sugar cookie return
The frosted sugar cookie blizzard brings soft sugar cookie pieces, icing ribbons, and festive sprinkles. It tastes like a cookie tray in spoonable form.
Why it leads December
Its sugar-cookie profile fits the later season. People expect baked-cookie flavors near major holiday dates, so this one gets the December spotlight.
Holiday Nog Shake breakdown
The holiday nog shake blends Holiday Nog syrup with vanilla soft serve and milk. It finishes with whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg. The nutmeg and cream are what make it feel like holiday nog rather than a straight vanilla shake.
| Item | Key mix-ins | Core base |
|---|---|---|
| Peppermint Bark Blizzard | White & milk chocolate, candy cane pieces | Vanilla soft serve |
| Frosted Sugar Cookie Blizzard | Soft sugar cookie pieces, icing, sprinkles | Vanilla soft serve |
| Holiday Nog Shake | Holiday Nog syrup, whipped topping, nutmeg | Vanilla soft serve + milk |

Soft serve swaps and regional pricing explained
Switching to chocolate soft serve is usually free, but it raises calories slightly. Chocolate can mute mint or nog notes, so vanilla keeps holiday mix-ins brighter.
Prices may vary by location because many stores are franchised. Local costs, state taxes, and store promotions change the final total. Call your nearby restaurant for exact pricing.
Takeaway: choose mini or small for lighter treats. Pick vanilla if you want the seasonal flavors to stand out.
Are these holiday treats worth your order this season?
Ready to decide which seasonal treat fits your taste and budget?
Choose the peppermint bark blizzard if you like mint-chocolate textures but not an overpowering candy-cane punch. Pick vanilla soft serve to let the bark pieces shine.
Go for the holiday nog shake when you want a smooth, creamy sip with a nutmeg finish. Skip it if you expect a strong eggnog flavor.
The frosted sugar cookie blizzard is the safest family pick. It’s familiar, dessert-like, and easy to share across ages.
If you’re unsure, order a small first. Check local pricing and ask what’s featured as Blizzard of the Month. Then order based on the flavor you actually want to enjoy.
