October 2026 Blizzard of the Month: Enchanted OREO Blizzard

Part of our Dairy Queen Blizzard menu guide. Last checked: October 2026.

Dairy Queen’s October 2026 Blizzard of the Month is the Enchanted OREO Blizzard — a purple, shimmering Halloween-season take on the classic OREO Blizzard. OREO cookie pieces and a sweet ube-flavored base are blended with DQ soft serve and finished with an “enchanted purple shimmer” swirl.

The flavor pulls double duty this fall: it is both October’s featured Blizzard and the headliner of DQ’s Spellbound Series, the chain’s first-ever Halloween collection. The series runs September 28 through November 1, 2026, so the October titleholder is actually available from late September into early November at participating locations.

At a Glance

What Makes It “Enchanted”

The magic is ube — a purple yam common in Filipino desserts, pronounced “OO-beh,” with a naturally vivid violet color and a sweet, vanilla-like flavor. DQ blends the ube base with its vanilla soft serve and OREO pieces, then finishes the cup with a glittery purple syrup swirl. The result is the most visually striking Blizzard of the year, built squarely for spooky season.

The Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council announced the flavor as the October Blizzard of the Month, with CEO Lou Romanus noting: “October is filled with fun traditions, and the NEW! Enchanted OREO Blizzard Treat gives DQ fans across Texas a delicious new way to celebrate the season.” National Blizzard trackers list it as the October 2026 feature as well.

The Spellbound Series Around It

The Enchanted OREO Blizzard anchors a three-item Halloween lineup. Alongside it, DQ released the Bubble Brew DQ Sparkler — blood orange and lemonade with sparkling water over ice, topped with cold foam that bubbles more the longer you stir it (Small 250 cal, Medium 320 cal, Large 430 cal) — and a Ghost Pepper Sauce for chicken strips, whose nutrition DQ has not published.

Collectors get a bonus: limited-edition DQ Mystery Blizzard Buddies plush keychains sold for $4 with any purchase, with a rare golden “Goldie” design redeemable for a year of free Blizzards. Rewards members can also play a daily memory game in the app’s Spellbound Secret Lair for gift cards and bonus points — one more reason to check the current DQ deals before you go.

Nutrition Notes

DQ publishes full nutrition for this one, and the spread between sizes is wide: a Mini lands at 440 cal while a Large reaches 1380 cal — more than triple. The Small (770 cal) sits roughly in the middle and is the most common order. Compare it with year-round flavors in our DQ nutrition guide or run the numbers on your whole order with the calorie calculator.
