Dairy Queen Is Dropping Three New Blizzards and a $2.50 Fourth of July Float — This Sunday

Dairy Queen Is Dropping Three New Blizzards and a $2.50 Fourth of July Float — This Sunday

Healthy Fact of the Day

Of the three new Blizzard flavors, the Strawberry Mango Mochi Blizzard is the lightest in flavor profile — fruit-forward, without the heavy chocolate or caramel components of the other two. Ordering a small size is one of the easiest ways to enjoy any Blizzard while keeping the calorie count in check. The Stars & Stripes Misty Slush Float at $2.50 in a small size is also a lighter option than a full Blizzard, with a lower fat content since it’s primarily slush and a smaller soft serve portion. If you’re celebrating Fourth of July with a family gathering, sharing a float and splitting a Blizzard between two people is a practical way to try both without doubling the indulgence.

The timing doesn’t get much better than this.

Dairy Queen is launching four new limited-time treats this Sunday, June 29 — three globally inspired Blizzard flavors timed to the World Cup, and a festive Stars & Stripes Misty Slush Float built for Fourth of July weekend. The float is only available through July 5, making the holiday weekend the primary window to get it. The Blizzards stick around longer.

Here’s what’s coming, what to know about each, and how to maximize the rewards along the way.

The Three New World Cup Blizzards

DQ is calling the lineup the Blizzard Cup Lineup — a direct nod to the global soccer stage — and all three flavors represent a genuine departure from the chain’s typical candy-bar-and-cookie comfort zone.

Strawberry Mango Mochi Blizzard Mango-flavored mochi pieces and strawberry topping blended with DQ’s signature vanilla soft serve. The mochi adds a chewy, bouncy texture that’s genuinely different from any other Blizzard in the current lineup. It’s bright, tropical, and light — the easiest entry point of the three for someone who usually sticks to the classics.

Biscoff Cookie Blizzard Crunchy caramelized Biscoff cookies blended throughout vanilla soft serve. Biscoff — the Belgian speculoos cookie that’s become a cult airline and coffee shop staple — brings a deep, spiced caramel flavor that’s more complex and adult-leaning than a standard cookie Blizzard. Cookie butter fans have been waiting for this one for years.

Mexican-Style Hot Chocolate Made With Abuelita Blizzard The most ambitious of the three: actual Abuelita Mexican Hot Chocolate Mix, chocolate chunks, fudge-covered marshmallows, and cocoa fudge, all blended with soft serve. Abuelita is the cinnamon-forward, slightly spiced Mexican hot chocolate brand owned by Nestlé — and bringing its flavor profile into a Blizzard creates a rich, warming-yet-cold dessert that’s unlike anything DQ has offered before.

The Stars & Stripes Misty Slush Float — $2.50, Through July 5 Only

The patriotic float is the time-sensitive item. Available only June 29 through July 5, and only in small size, it’s priced at exactly $2.50 — a nod to America’s 250th birthday.

The float is built in three visible layers: Cherry Misty Slush on the bottom, creamy vanilla soft serve in the center, and blue raspberry Misty Slush on top, finished with festive star sprinkles. It’s designed to look as good as it tastes, with the red, white, and blue layers creating a natural visual that’s built for the holiday weekend table.

DQ Rewards members who buy the Stars & Stripes Float during the July 4th week also earn 250 bonus DQ points and three sweepstakes entries — which brings us to the sweepstakes.

The Go for the Globe Sweepstakes

DQ is running a sweepstakes alongside the World Cup launch, available to DQ Rewards members through the DQ App from June 29 through July 26. The grand prize is a fully funded dream vacation, and entries accumulate based on purchases:

  • 3 entries for each Blizzard Cup Lineup flavor purchased
  • 15 bonus entries for purchasing all three flavors
  • 3 entries + 250 bonus DQ points for buying a Stars & Stripes Float during the June 29–July 5 window

Signing up for DQ Rewards is free — do it before Sunday to have your account ready for the first day of the promotion.

What to Know Before You Go

All four items launch June 29 at participating DQ locations nationwide. The Stars & Stripes Float ends July 5. The Blizzard Cup Lineup runs longer — no official end date has been announced, but limited-time Blizzards typically run through the summer season they’re tied to.

For the best shot at the sweepstakes, buy all three Blizzards in the same week — the 15 bonus entries for completing the lineup is the most efficient entry mechanic.

The Bottom Line

Dairy Queen’s Blizzard Cup Lineup — Strawberry Mango Mochi, Biscoff Cookie, and Mexican-Style Hot Chocolate Made With Abuelita — launches this Sunday, June 29, alongside the $2.50 Stars & Stripes Misty Slush Float available through July 5 only. Download the DQ App before Sunday to access the Go for the Globe Sweepstakes and start earning entries toward a dream vacation.
