There’s more than one minty treat on the street.

Dairy Queen has a Mint Oreo Blizzard to get fans in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit. Customers are in luck because the dessert is available now so they have more than a month of green sweets ahead of the holiday on March 17.

The Blizzard combines vanilla soft serve, Oreo pieces and “cool mint topping,” per a press release. 

The final product is green-tinged, akin to McDonald’s Shamrock Shake and the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry.

The home of the Big Mac is bringing back its St. Paddy’s desserts on Feb. 10.

The McFlurry blends vanilla soft serve with Shamrock Shake syrup and Oreo pieces in the limited-time treat. The sippable version omits the cookie crumble but has the same vanilla soft serve and minty syrup. It is then topped with whipped cream.

McDonald’s is honoring the festive sweet’s return with another special comeback: Uncle O’Grimacey. The fast food chain’s iconic mascot (and relative of the once-viral Grimace) flew over from Sham Rock, Ireland, on Feb. 4 to get fans excited about the Shamrock Shake’s upcoming arrival. Despite being introduced to the public in 1975, Grimace hasn’t been seen in McDonald’s campaigns “for decades,” according to a press release.

While DQ and McDonald’s are looking ahead to the springtime holidays, Starbucks is still thinking about Valentine’s Day.

Earlier this week, the coffee chain announced two returning drinks ahead of Valentine’s Day: the Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Crùme Frappuccino and Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew. Starting on Feb. 4, fans can sip on the festive options each inspired by classic treats served on the holiday. 

The blended drink layers strawberry puree with the Frappuccino blend — a mix of strawberry puree, Frappuccino chips, milk and ice — before topping the drink with whipped cream and a mocha drizzle.

The caffeinated option takes cold brew sweetened with vanilla syrup and tops it with chocolate hazelnut-flavored cold foam and cookie crumbs.
