\"\"<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s the December Blizzard of the Month featuring sugar cookie pieces, icing, and sprinkles. It shares the December spotlight with the Candy Cane Chill Blizzard, but that one is not new. This one is different than the similarly named Frosted Animal Cookie Blizzard from a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

I did not have high expectations for this one based on the lackluster components and my notion that the sugar cookie flavor would not stand out in a vanilla ice cream base. Even with the bar set low, this was a miss for me, both in taste and presentation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m not one who normally cares what a Blizzard looks like, and sometimes the top layer can be deceiving. At first sight, this gives off a bland and boring vibe, and it backs that up with a bland and boring taste. As you can see in the photos, my local DQ was apparently experiencing a sprinkle shortage. The DQ website notes the sprinkles are \u201cfestive\u201d but fails to mention they have absolutely no taste. So it didn\u2019t really matter that my particular Blizzard only had a smattering of festiveness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t really tell you what the icing brought to the table because I could only faintly distinguish that flavor in this. So that left the sugar cookie pieces as the only ingredient left to pick up the ball and score, but since sugar cookie pieces don\u2019t have arms or legs, the ball remained on the field and no touchdown was recorded. Maybe I just got a bad batch of cookies, but they were not \u201csoft\u201d as the DQ website promised. They were quite crumbly and really had no flavor that I could describe, other than generic vanilla-ish cookie.<\/p>\n

The sum of the parts of this Blizzard adds up to disappointment.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t remember having the Frosted Animal Cookie Blizzard in 2020, but another reviewer on this site loved it. While that one has almost the same name, it does seem that it had a more complex variety of flavors, so maybe it\u2019s time to petition DQ to bring that one back and sit this new version on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve never tried a new Blizzard that I didn\u2019t finish, and I can confirm that my amazing streak of consistency is still intact. But if I had ordered a medium or large instead of a small, then I\u2019m not sure if I would have completed the task. This is still ice cream and cookies, so it\u2019s far better than anything containing kale or carrots, but it definitely ranks as one of my least favorite Blizzards.<\/p>\n
