According to the press release, the returning flavors include S’mores, Confetti Cake and Cotton Candy.
“For 85 years, we have been serving up smiles, sweet traditions and the most iconic frozen treats around.

According to the company’s website, the first Dairy Queen location opened in 1940 in Joliet, Illinois.
