Every family has the cookie. The one your grandma or your aunt made every December: a soft peanut butter cookie with a chocolate kiss pressed into the middle. Dairy Queen has turned it into a Blizzard, and it is available starting November 2.
The Holiday Cookie Swap Blizzard Treat Collection runs from November 2 through January 3 at participating US locations. It pairs one brand-new flavor with a returning favorite, and both are built around the cookie plate you would find at any holiday party.
The two Blizzards
NEW Peanut Butter Blossom made with Hershey's Mini Kisses. According to Dairy Queen, it is Hershey's Mini Kisses, cookie pieces and peanut butter topping blended into DQ soft serve. If you love a peanut butter cup Blizzard, this is in the same family, with a little more holiday nostalgia.
Peppermint Bark (returning). Milk and white chocolatey layers with peppermint candy cane pieces, blended into soft serve. This is the one for the peppermint people in your life, and you know who they are.
DQ did not include Blizzard prices in its announcement, and prices vary by location, so check the app or your local menu before you go.
The deals worth knowing
This is where the holiday collection gets genuinely useful, especially if you are feeding kids on a busy weeknight.
- The $8 Meal Deal, now with a $2 Blizzard upgrade. Every $8 Meal Deal comes with Chicken Strips or an Original Cheeseburger, full-size regular fries, a drink and a sundae. For a limited time, you can swap that sundae for any Blizzard, including both holiday flavors, for $2 more.
- Two cupcakes for $6, through November 29. DQ is calling this its Friendsgiving deal. It is perfect for bringing something to a potluck when you did not have time to bake.
To get the cupcake deal, you need a free DQ Rewards account, which you can set up at dairyqueen.com or in the DQ app. Dairy Queen notes that deals can take up to 24 hours to show up after you sign up, so download it a day before you plan to go. The deals are for a limited time at participating US locations, and other terms apply.
You can read all the details in Dairy Queen's announcement.
Make it a tradition
Here is an idea for the next few weekends: a Blizzard cookie swap of your own. Order one of each, grab extra spoons and let everyone vote. It is a low-effort, high-joy outing for kids, a fun stop on a Christmas lights drive, or a sweet end to a long day of holiday shopping.

Our take
The Peanut Butter Blossom is the reason to go. It is a clever idea, and it taps straight into a cookie memory most of us have. Pair it with the $8 Meal Deal upgrade and dinner plus dessert comes to $10, which is hard to beat in December. Sign up for DQ Rewards today so the cupcake deal is waiting when you need it.
