When ordering the new Dairy Queen Holiday Nog Shake, the initial facial expression the DQ employee gave me was one that I imagine the angels at the Gates of Heaven will give me when they have to tell me I\u2019m not on the list. A grimace that\u2019s part embarrassment and part should-I-tell-him.<\/p>\n
After a moment of hemming and hawing, the employee asked me if I was sure I wanted it, since it wasn\u2019t good. Customers complained that it tasted weird or had a light nog flavor. However, the words “it tasted weird” are catnip to me, so, of course, I had to try it.<\/p>\n
The seasonal dessert is a nog-flavored shake topped with whipped cream and nutmeg, and it looks as unexciting as any nog. But I don\u2019t expect anything fancy when it comes to DQ\u2019s shakes; they\u2019re all pretty much sauce, soft serve, whipped topping, and a sprinkle of something. If you want texture, get a Blizzard or a Dilly Bar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
After trying it, with the Dairy Queen worker looking at me and preparing for the worst, I thought it tasted fine. There wasn\u2019t any weirdness, but its nog flavor was noticeably more subdued than what you\u2019d get with light egg nog. However, that might be a good thing, because the standard and light versions of the seasonal beverage can get too rich too quickly. If I drank the same amount of regular egg nog as this shake, I wouldn\u2019t be able to finish it because it would be too much, and my stomach would punish me soon after. However, I had no problem finishing this with its mild flavor.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s nothing about Dairy Queen\u2019s Holiday Nog Shake that makes it a must-buy. This time of year, there are a multitude of ways to get the nog flavor in your mouth. Actually, now that I think about it, egg nog-flavored ice creams (and frozen dairy desserts) I\u2019ve gotten from the store have a stronger flavor than this.<\/p>\n
Purchased Price:<\/strong> FREE* *The employee was so unsure about whether I\u2019d like this nog-flavored shake that they gave it to me for free. Christmas is early this year! Maybe the worker was Santa Claus?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When ordering the new Dairy Queen Holiday Nog Shake, the initial facial expression the DQ employee gave me was one that I imagine the angels at the Gates of Heaven will give me when they have to tell me I\u2019m not on the list.
