While other coffee shops and food chains are releasing their versions of pumpkin spice lattes, Dairy Queen is bringing something different this season.
On Monday, Aug. 31, Dairy Queen unveiled its new fall menu, which includes fall-inspired treats and coffee. While you will see the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard treat making its return, don’t expect to see a pumpkin spice latte anywhere on the menu.
Dairy Queen fans can also expect to see the new Toasted Marshmallow Mocha DQ Coffee Cooler and Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Blizzard Treat make their debut with DQ’s Fall Treat Collection, according to a news release published on Dairy Queen’s website. The treats will only be available for a limited time.
Dairy Queen isn’t the only chain unveiling its seasonal fall menu. Starbucks already began serving fall-inspired drinks on Aug. 25, and Dunkin’ brought out its seasonal drinks back on Aug. 19.
