Short answer: Dairy Queen Blizzard flavors fall into three groups. There are the year-round classics like OREO, Reese’s and S’mores. There are the rich Royal flavors with a soft center. And there is a new flavor almost every month, plus old favorites that come and go with the seasons. This page lists them all, the new ones too, and even the retired flavors fans still talk about.

Some quick facts before the list:

• The classics stay all year. Most stores carry about 14 of them, plus 3 Royals.
• OREO is the flavor almost every fan poll puts at or near the top.
• Fans on Reddit call S’mores the best Blizzard of all time, again and again.
• The newest flavor for October 2026 is the Enchanted OREO, a purple Halloween treat.
• A flavor is never gone for good. Old ones come back. Mint OREO and Red Velvet Cake both came back in 2026.

The full flavor list you can order now

These are the flavors that live on the menu all year. Prices change by store, so this list is about taste, not cost. The calorie counts are for a Small cup, so you can compare flavors fairly.

What is a Royal Blizzard?

A Royal has a soft, tasty center in the middle of the cup. Think of it as a surprise in the center of your treat. The center can be fudge, strawberry, peanut butter or marshmallow. Royals cost about a dollar more than a classic in the same size. My full Blizzard Menu page lists every size and price for them.

Which classic is the sweetest, and which is the lightest?

Choco Brownie Extreme is the rich one. It packs the most calories of any classic, 740 in a Small. Cotton Candy sits in the middle at 610, not the light pick fans think it is. That gap is still big. It is like one whole extra snack. If you love chocolate but want it lighter, Butterfinger at 590 is the lightest classic in a Small, and it gives you crunch for far less.

New flavors in 2026, month by month

This is the part most lists get wrong, because they never update it. Dairy Queen adds a Blizzard of the Month, and some months bring two or three new flavors at once. Here is the real 2026 record so far.

• January: OREO Snowdrift. A winter OREO flavor that came back by demand
• February: Red Velvet Cake. Red velvet cake pieces with cream cheese icing, also a comeback
• March: Mint OREO. OREO with cool mint, back for spring
• April: Strawberry Angel Food Cake. Light cake pieces with strawberries
• May: Choco Frosted Donut. Donut pieces, chocolate icing bits, sprinkles
• June: Nestlé Drumstick with Peanuts. Cone pieces, peanuts, chocolate bits
• July: Biscoff Cookie. Crunchy spiced cookie pieces
• July: Mexican-Style Hot Chocolate. Cocoa, chocolate chunks, fudge marshmallows
• July: Strawberry Mango Mochi. Mango mochi bits with strawberry
• August: Caramel Apple Cheesecake. Cheesecake pieces with caramel apple topping
• September: Brown Sugar Cookie Dough. Brown sugar dough pieces and topping
• October: Enchanted OREO. OREO with sweet ube and purple shimmer

Two honest notes from fans. The Enchanted OREO looks wild and purple, but fans say it tastes a lot like a plain OREO Blizzard. That is not a bad thing. It is still an OREO Blizzard. The Strawberry Mango Mochi split fans the most. Some loved it. Others said the mochi bits tasted strange. If your store still has it, try a Mini first.

July was the wild month of the year. Three new flavors landed at once. Fans called them the international trio. Biscoff came from a famous spiced cookie. The hot chocolate one used a Mexican cocoa mix. The mochi one used soft rice cakes from Japan. It was a fun test, and fans still argue about which of the three won.

The fall set is still in stores now. Brown Sugar Cookie Dough, Pumpkin Pie and Caramel Apple Cheesecake are the fall flavors. Pumpkin Pie has come back every fall for years. The fall set leaves when winter comes, so October is your last full month for it.

Which flavors fans love most

I read the big fan threads so you do not have to. Hundreds of Dairy Queen fans argue about flavors every month. The same names win again and again.

S’mores is the fans’ champion. In thread after thread, it takes the top spot. People call it the best Blizzard of all time. It tastes like a campfire treat, with marshmallow, graham and chocolate in every bite.

OREO is the king of sales and polls. Ask fans for a top three and OREO is in almost every answer. It is simple, it is crunchy, and it never lets you down.

The fan S tier is the top group in fan-made ranking lists. It holds Mint OREO, OREO, Peppermint Hot Cocoa, Heath and Salted Caramel Truffle. Two of those five are not even on the menu right now. Fans rank from memory and love, which tells you how strong these flavors are.

Cookie Dough and Butterfinger fill out most top-three lists. Royal New York Cheesecake gets named by fans who like a rich, fancy treat. And Cotton Candy wins the kids’ vote by a mile, plus a lot of grown-ups pick it as their soft spot.

Reese’s flavors: the peanut butter corner

Reese’s fans do not want the whole list. They want their flavor, so here it is in one place. There are three Reese’s Blizzards to know.

• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup is the classic. Peanut butter cup pieces mixed through the cup, 610 calories in a Small.
• Royal Reese’s Fluffernutter adds a marshmallow center and more peanut butter. It is the richest peanut butter cup on the menu at 720 calories in a Small.
• Royal Reese’s Brownie shows up at some stores. It pairs the cups with brownie pieces.

One more trick. Some stores stock Reese’s Pieces candy too. If yours does, you can ask for Pieces mixed in. And the combo fans love most is OREO plus Reese’s in one cup. It tastes like a peanut butter cookie. Ask for it by name and most stores will build it.

The best flavor for your taste

Lists do not help if your taste is not the crowd’s taste. Use this quick guide instead.

• You love chocolate most: Choco Brownie Extreme, or Turtle Pecan Cluster if you want nuts in it.
• You want it pink and sweet: Cotton Candy. Kids love it, and at 610 calories in a Small it sits in the middle of the range.
• You love peanut butter: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, or go Royal for the marshmallow center.
• You like cake flavors: Royal New York Cheesecake, or Red Velvet Cake when it comes back.
• You like fresh and fruity: Strawberry Cheesecake style flavors, or Pumpkin Pie in the fall for warm spice.
• You like mint: Mint OREO when it is in season. It comes back most springs.
• You want the crowd’s pick: S’mores. The fans have voted with their spoons for years.

Combos and custom orders fans swear by

The menu board is just the start. Stores will mix flavors if you ask in a kind way. Extras may cost a bit more. Here are the combos fans talk about most.

The chocolate base trick. The biggest fan order of all is a Choco Brownie Extreme made with chocolate ice cream and extra brownie pieces. One fan said they will never order anything else. A heads-up: not all stores have chocolate soft serve. Staff say the ones that do often carry it in summer only. If your store has it, this cup is a chocolate dream.

OREO plus Butterfinger. Crunch on crunch. Fans name this pair again and again.

Reese’s plus OREO. The peanut butter cookie cup from the Reese’s section above.

Half and half. Many stores will put two flavors in one cup, half of each. It is a kind ask, not a rule. The best time to ask is when the store is not busy.

Nerds on top. Nerds candy is not on the menu now, but some stores still stock it. Fans who know ask for it as a mix-in. If your store has it, you just found a lost flavor.

Please skip the “secret menu” talk at the counter. Staff on Reddit say there is no hidden menu, and asking for one makes their day harder. Just say what you want in the cup. They will tell you if they can build it.

Retired flavors fans still miss

Flavors retire all the time. Some leave for a season. Some leave for years. These are the ones fans still bring up by name.

• Georgia Mud Fudge is the most missed of all. It had cocoa fudge, pecans and brownie pieces. Fans call it the one they would die for.
• German Chocolate had chocolate sauce, pecans and coconut.
• Hawaiian was the fruity one, with pineapple, coconut and banana.
• Nerds Blizzard was pure candy fun. Kids loved it. Grown-ups did too.
• Brownie Batter and Mixing Bowl Mashup left big holes in fan hearts.
• Salted Caramel Truffle is gone from the menu but still sits in fan top tiers. Some lists online still show it as current. It is not. If a store offers it, that store still has stock. Grab it.

Why do flavors retire?

Staff give a clear answer. Many flavors are seasonal. Dairy Queen makes only so much of a special ingredient. Each store gets enough for a month or a few months. When it runs out, the flavor ends. It is about supply, not about hate for the flavor. The good news: strong fan love brings flavors back. Snowdrift came back as OREO Snowdrift in January 2026. Red Velvet Cake came back in February. Your favorite may return too.

How the flavor list keeps changing

Think of the list in three layers. The classics stay all year. The season layer turns with the weather, pumpkin in fall, mint in spring, fruity flavors in summer. The top layer is the Blizzard of the Month, which can change every few weeks.

Stores do not all match. One store may run out of a flavor early. Another may keep a flavor a bit longer. Texas stores run their own social pages and sometimes show a slightly different set. So treat this page as the national picture. Your store is the final word. I update this list when new flavors land, and the Blizzard of the Month page tracks the newest one in detail.

Common questions

What is the best Dairy Queen Blizzard flavor?

Fans say S’mores, more than any other flavor. It wins the big “best of all time” threads year after year. OREO is the close second and the safest pick if you have never had one. My pick for a first try: S’mores in a Small cup.

What is the newest Blizzard flavor?

For October 2026, it is the Enchanted OREO. It has OREO pieces, a sweet ube base and a purple shimmer on top. It is part of the Halloween set and leaves after November 1. The fall flavors, Brown Sugar Cookie Dough and Pumpkin Pie, are still in stores too.

What is the top selling Blizzard flavor?

OREO. It is the flavor Dairy Queen is known for, and it sits at or near the top of almost every fan poll. Cookie Dough and Reese’s sell strong too, but OREO is the one every store must have.

Can I mix two flavors in one Blizzard?

Most stores will do it if you ask in a kind way. Half OREO and half Reese’s is the fan favorite mix. Extra mix-ins can cost more, and busy stores may say no. Ask before the rush, and you will hear yes more often.

Can I get a Blizzard made with chocolate ice cream?

Sometimes. Most Blizzards start with vanilla soft serve. Some stores have chocolate soft serve, often just in summer. If yours does, you can ask for a chocolate base. Fans say a Choco Brownie Extreme on a chocolate base is the best cup on the whole menu.

Why did Dairy Queen stop the Nerds Blizzard?

It was a seasonal flavor, and seasonal ingredients run out. Staff say Dairy Queen sends each store a set amount of a special ingredient. When it is gone, the flavor ends. Nerds candy still shows up as a mix-in at some stores, so ask. Your store may still have some.

Which Blizzard flavor has the most calories?

In a Small cup, Choco Brownie Extreme has the most of the classics at 740. Royal New York Cheesecake is close at 750, and Royal Reese’s Fluffernutter is 720. Sizes change the game fast. A Large can pass 1,300 calories for the rich flavors.

Do retired Blizzard flavors ever come back?

Yes, and 2026 proves it. OREO Snowdrift came back in January. Red Velvet Cake came back in February. Mint OREO came back in March. Dairy Queen watches what fans ask for. If a flavor has loud fans, it has a real chance.

Final thoughts

The full list of Dairy Queen Blizzard flavors is bigger than the menu board shows. And it is more fun too. You have about 17 flavors you can order today. A new one lands most months. And a long list of retired names may return at any time. Start with S’mores if you trust the fans. Pick OREO if you trust the crowd. Pick the Enchanted OREO if you want the purple Halloween cup before it leaves on November 1. Then build your own combo and find your flavor. That is the real fun of this menu.
