DQ celebrates 85th birthday with 85-cent Blizzard deal

To mark its 85th birthday, Dairy Queen is offering fans a sweet gift: small Blizzard Treats for just 85 cents.

The limited-time promotion runs from March 19 to March 25 and is available exclusively through the DQ mobile app. Customers must be enrolled in the DQ Rewards program to redeem the deal.

The 85-cent offer is valid on one small Blizzard Treat per user during the promotional period. It must be accessed through the app and is only available at participating locations.

DQ is also celebrating with the return of its Summer Blizzard Treat Menu, featuring six flavors, including two fan favorites and one brand-new option.

In its official announcement, Dairy Queen said,

“As we celebrate our 85th birthday, we’re giving fans the ultimate gift – access to our Blizzard Treat menu at a value that also nods to our founding year.”

The offer commemorates the brand’s founding in 1940, and the price mirrors that number — 85 cents for 85 years.

DQ describes the Blizzard as “DQ soft serve with delicious, fan-favorite mix-ins,” and the birthday deal includes many of the signature and returning flavors.

The new Summer Blizzard Menu features the Picnic Peach Cobbler Blizzard Treat, alongside returning offerings like Frosted Animal Cookie, Brownie Batter, and Cotton Candy.

Customers are encouraged to check the DQ mobile app or website to confirm participation and store hours.
