Dairy Queen recently brought back its popular Cherry Dipped Cone
In 2023, Dairy Queen fans were outraged when the chain discontinued its popular Cherry Dipped Cone. Earlier this week, the company confirmed to TODAY.com that the fan-favorite will be returning for a limited time.
“We know our fans love the Cherry Dipped Cone, and we’re excited to bring this sweet offering back for a limited time at participating locations,” a DQ spokesperson told TODAY.com. “We are always innovating our menus to showcase delicious new and fan-favorite flavors for our iconic dipped cone.”
