The excitement is palpable as Dairy Queen, the cherished fast-food chain famous for its frosty treats and iconic Blizzards, has unlocked its vault of retired flavors. For many of us who grew up savoring a cool, creamy Blizzard on a warm day, this news is as sweet as the treats themselves.

But there’s a twist—Dairy Queen is letting us decide which fan-favorite flavor will make a triumphant return!

The Blizzard of Memories​

Since the Blizzard made its debut in 1985, Dairy Queen has created more than 170 unique flavors, each adored by fans. From candy-packed creations to fruity delights, the sheer variety of Blizzards has always been a testament to Dairy Queen’s creativity.

Not every flavor has stayed on the menu, though. Some were retired to make way for new innovations, but Dairy Queen hasn’t forgotten them.


These beloved treats have been tucked away in a metaphorical "freezer," waiting for their chance to shine again—and now that time has come.

The Power of Choice​

Starting December 9, Dairy Queen is giving fans the power to bring back one of three popular retired Blizzards. To vote, download the DQ app and join their free rewards program. The three contenders vying for a comeback are:


1. S’mores: A campfire classic transformed into a frozen delight. This Blizzard mixes soft serve with graham cracker pieces, marshmallows, and Dairy Queen’s marshmallow-filled chocolate bars.

It’s a flavor that brings back memories of starry nights and cozy firesides.


2. Georgia Mud Fudge: A chocolate lover’s dream, this Blizzard features rich fudge sauce, brownie chunks, and pecan pieces for a decadent, satisfying treat.

3. Cappuccino Heath: Perfect for those who love coffee and sweets, this Blizzard combines vanilla soft serve, a coffee base, and crunchy Heath toffee crumbles for the ultimate indulgence.

The S’mores Sensation​

While all three flavors have their fans, the S’mores Blizzard seems to have captured the hearts (and taste buds) of many.

Social media is buzzing with support, and even Dairy Queen employees are rallying behind this gooey, chocolatey favorite!

The Clock is Ticking​

Don’t miss your chance to vote! Polls close on December 19, with the winning flavor set to be announced the following day. While you wait for the big reveal, why not enjoy Dairy Queen’s current seasonal offerings like the Frozen Hot Chocolate or Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard?

This isn’t just about choosing a flavor—it’s a celebration of the little joys that make life sweeter. Whether you’re rooting for S’mores, Georgia Mud Fudge, or Cappuccino Heath, this event is a chance to relive special memories and create new ones!


So, cast your vote, enjoy the anticipation, and get ready for the return of a Dairy Queen classic. After all, what’s better than indulging in a Blizzard you helped bring back?
