Dairy Queen is bringing back a favorite treat, the Cherry Cone Dip.

The company has announced the return of this popular sweet treat, which was stopped in May last year. This decision had left many fans disappointed.

Cherry-Dipped Cone Returns to Dairy Queen

Dairy Queen has good news for its fans: the Cherry Dipped Cone is returning, but it's only for a short period. A spokesperson for Dairy Queen shared with TODAY website the excitement surrounding the return of this beloved treat, which had been removed from the menu last year.

"Our customers love the Cherry Dipped Cone, and we're thrilled to offer it again for a short time at some of our stores," said the Dairy Queen representative. "We're always looking to mix things up by adding new items and bringing back favorites our customers miss."

Alongside the Cherry Dipped Cone, Dairy Queen's menu includes favorites like the Chocolate Dipped and Confetti Cake Dipped Cones. These sweet treats can be found listed on the company's website.

In May 2023, Dairy Queen announced it would stop offering its Cherry Dipped Cone. This decision became widely known after a Dairy Queen in Shelby Township, Michigan, shared a TikTok video about the dessert being discontinued.

Fans of the treat expressed their disappointment online, with the news creating a stir on social media. One user even humorously said, "I'm suing Dairy Queen."

Despite the disappointment, a Dairy Queen spokesperson mentioned that the company frequently changes its dipped cone flavors. They hinted that the Cherry Dipped Cone might make a return. Now, that time has come.

The return of the Cherry Dipped Cone has sparked happiness on social media, with many users expressing excitement about enjoying the treat again.

Dairy Queen customers are overjoyed with the return of the Cherry Dipped Cone.

Dawn Kimberly expressed her disbelief on Facebook, saying, "I can't believe they discontinued it to begin with! I haven't been back to DQ since they did that."

Christine Kopack Bellis shared her fondness for the treat: "The waxy deliciousness, yum!"

The cherry cone has been a clear favorite among ice cream lovers, many of whom have taken to social media to thank Dairy Queen for returning it.

One Instagram review described the treat as tasting like a cherry icee with a candy-like coating. "I am very excited!" another user commented on Instagram. "They need never to be discontinued or limited time ever again."

The call for the Cherry Dipped Cone's return grew louder in February when Dairy Queen announced a new item. Fans used the opportunity to demand the comeback of their cherished cherry cone.

This re-introduction is part of Dairy Queen's celebration of St. Patrick's Day, alongside other limited-time offerings such as the Under the Rainbow Shake and the Mint Brownie Blizzard Treat.

As Dairy Queen welcomes back the Cherry Dipped Cone, the fast-food chain is also introducing other limited-time treats to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The Under the Rainbow Shake is a delicious blend of strawberry flavor, rainbow sprinkles, and soft vanilla served among the festive offerings.

It's topped off with whipped cream and even more rainbow sprinkles for an extra burst of color and taste.

Additionally, Dairy Queen offers the Mint Brownie Blizzard Treat for a limited period. This special treat combines chunks of chocolaty brownies with "choco chunks" and mint, all mixed into creamy vanilla soft serve. These seasonal delights join the Cherry Dipped Cone in Dairy Queen's lineup of limited-time offerings for the holiday.
