Dairy Queen is ready for spooky season.
On Tuesday, Sept. 22, the fast food chain announced its first Halloween collection, a mix of sweet and savory items with a dose of “magic and mystery.” The limited-time Spellbound Series will run from Sept. 28 to Nov. 1.
Highlights include a new Bubble Brew DQ Sparkler, which features blood orange and lemonade with sparkling water over ice and finished off with cold foam.
“Stir to activate the magic – the more you stir, the more it bubbles and foams,” instructs a description shared with PEOPLE.
The lineup also includes a new Enchanted Oreo Blizzard Treat, with cookies, an ube-flavored base and an “enchanted purple shimmer.”

A new Ghost Pepper Sauce with “fiery, bold, smoky pepper heat” is meant to be served with the restaurant’s four-piece Chicken Strip Basket.
The seasonal offerings also include limited-edition DQ Mystery Blizzard Buddy plush keychains, which can be ordered for $4 with any purchase. They come in mystery packaging, so guests can be surprised by which design they get: Blizabeth, Flip, Blenda, Brrrnie or Goldie.
Customers who find the rare Goldie keychains will win a year of Blizzards.
Earlier this month, Dairy Queen unveiled a new deal to kick off football season.
The chain announced on Sept. 1 that it was introducing a four-piece chicken strip basket for $6.99, giving guests a choice of Original or FlameThrower chicken strips, which come with fries, a drink and a selection from the accompanying MVP Dip Lineup.
A release described Strip Dip as “creamy, tangy, with a bold black pepper kick,” and Ghost Pepper Dip as “fiery, bold, smoky pepper heat.”
The chain rolled out an accompanying campaign starring college mascots from the University of Oregon, Illinois State University and University of Kansas.
The first installment took a cue from the recent “preparing for my Netflix documentary” social media trend, putting the Duck, Big Jay and Reggie Redbird in the hot seat.
