The DQ Holiday Cookie Swap BLIZZARD Treat Collection launches November 2, 2026, at participating Dairy Queen locations across the United States.

What Is the DQ Holiday Cookie Swap Blizzard Treat Collection?
The DQ Holiday Cookie Swap BLIZZARD Treat Collection is Dairy Queen’s seasonal dessert lineup inspired by classic holiday cookies and winter sweets.

Which Flavors Are Included in the 2026 DQ Holiday Blizzard Collection?
The collection features the Peanut Butter Blossom BLIZZARD Treat and the Peppermint Bark BLIZZARD Treat. Each flavor draws inspiration from a different holiday dessert.

1. Peanut Butter Blossom made with HERSHEY’S MINI KISSES BLIZZARD Treat
The Peanut Butter Blossom BLIZZARD Treat is the new addition to the 2026 collection. Inspired by traditional peanut butter blossom cookies, it combines the familiar pairing of chocolate and peanut butter in a frozen dessert.
The treat features HERSHEY’S MINI KISSES, cookie pieces, and peanut butter topping blended with Dairy Queen’s soft serve. Its flavor profile is designed for people who enjoy sweet chocolate desserts with a nutty peanut butter taste.
Unlike a traditional peanut butter blossom cookie served at room temperature, this version offers a cold, creamy alternative for the holiday season.
2. Peppermint Bark BLIZZARD Treat
The Peppermint Bark BLIZZARD Treat returns to the seasonal menu for 2026. It takes inspiration from peppermint bark, a popular holiday confection made with chocolate and peppermint.
The dessert combines chocolatey layers, peppermint candy cane pieces, and Dairy Queen soft serve. The minty flavor gives it a different character from the chocolate-and-peanut-butter combination found in the new Peanut Butter Blossom treat.
Customers who enjoy peppermint desserts may prefer this seasonal option, while those who favor richer chocolate and peanut butter flavors may lean toward the new addition.
When Does the DQ Holiday Cookie Swap Blizzard Come Out?
The announced U.S. launch date is November 2, 2026, and the planned promotional period ends January 3, 2027.
This gives customers an opportunity to try the seasonal desserts during the holiday period. However, the dates do not guarantee that every restaurant will carry both flavors for the entire promotion. Individual locations may have different inventory or participation arrangements.
For the most accurate information, check the official Dairy Queen website or contact your nearest restaurant before visiting.
How Much Does the DQ Holiday Blizzard Cost?
A single nationwide price for the two holiday BLIZZARD Treats has not been established in the announcement. Prices can differ according to location, serving size, taxes, and restaurant-specific offers.
Dairy Queen has also announced a limited-time option to upgrade its $8 Meal Deal with a BLIZZARD Treat for an additional $2 at participating U.S. locations, subject to the offer’s terms.
Because promotional details can change, customers should check their local menu or the DQ app for current prices and eligibility. It is better to confirm the total before ordering than to assume every restaurant follows the same pricing.

Is the DQ Holiday Cookie Swap Blizzard Available in Canada?
The official announcement confirms the November 2 launch for participating U.S. locations, but it does not establish that the same collection will launch nationwide in Canada on the same date.
Canadian customers should check the Dairy Queen Canada website or contact a nearby Canadian location for confirmed menu availability and local pricing.
It is best not to assume that U.S. promotional dates, meal deals, or menu items automatically apply to Canadian restaurants. Seasonal menus can differ between markets.
