All Flavors Available

Okay so this is the part that really got me excited. This deal isn’t limited to just one flavor. You can pick ANY small Blizzard flavor for the discount. That means all your faves and a few brand-new ones are fair game.

DQ is also launching its summer Blizzard menu in the middle of the 85 cent deal. If you’ve been wanting to try a New DQ flavor or just enjoy something nostalgic, this is your moment!

Dairy Queen Summer Blizzard Flavors

On March 31, Dairy Queen will start the summer Blizzard lineup, which is full of dreamy, creamy, nostalgic treats. Here’s a peek at what’s hitting the menu:

Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard- Brand-new and already iconic. This Blizzard is packed with cheesecake pieces, chocolate chunks, and strawberry topping all blended into DQ’s signature soft serve. It’s fruity, rich, and slightly fancy.
Mixing Bowl Mashup Blizzard – This one’s for the true dessert lovers: a combo of brownie batter and chocolate chip cookie dough. Mmmm that sounds so good.
S’mores Blizzard – Voted back by fans! This classic brings the campfire to your cup with marshmallow-filled chocolate bars, graham cracker crunch, and vanilla soft serve. I remember this one well, and I cannot wait to get it again.
Confetti Cake Blizzard – Featuring cake pieces, confetti sprinkles, and vanilla soft serve, it’s basically a birthday celebration disguised as dessert. Perfect for celebrating DQ’s 85’s bday!
Cotton Candy Blizzard – This one is a true fan favorite and I can see why. There are swirls of cotton candy topping and cotton candy sprinkles in the soft serve, making a super-sweet nostalgia treat.
