The Dairy Queen system, a Berkshire Hathaway company, is jump starting the holiday season with the early return of favorite holiday treat the Candy Cane OREO Blizzard Treat.

The holiday inspired Blizzard Treat is available from now through December at Dairy Queen and DQ Grill & Chill restaurants.

“There are traditional flavors that are synonymous with the holidays and candy cane would be one of them,” says Barry Westrum, executive vice president of marketing for American Dairy Queen Corporation. “We added our own sweet touch to create what has become a very popular seasonal Blizzard Treat. To us, it’s never too early to begin celebrating the holiday season.”

The Candy Cane OREO Blizzard Treat is a sweet, smooth, and crunchy blend of OREO cookie pieces and peppermint candy pieces hand-crafted together with creamy DQ vanilla soft serve. Blizzard Treats are made to order and so thick they are served upside down in four sizes, including the popular Mini.

Many Blizzard Treat flavors, including Candy Cane OREO, can easily be made into DQ Cakes, which are perfect for the holiday season and other special events, such as birthdays and anniversaries.
