But I want a free cone now! Okay, <a href=\"https:\/\/y.yarn.co\/45260a30-de92-45d2-9143-e9a4ac9938c7_text.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Veruca Salt<\/a>, your wish has been granted\u2026by Dairy Queen. Here\u2019s all the details you need to know about Dairy Queen\u2019s fast approaching Free Cone Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When is Dairy Queen Free Cone Day?<\/p>\n<p>Dairy Queen\u2019s Free Cone Day is March 19, 2026. As of this writing, that means it\u2019s tomorrow. While some parts of the country are still experiencing temperatures below 75 degrees, we\u2019re getting extreme heat warnings here in SoCal. So the timing, for us, is perfect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What can you get?<\/p>\n<p>Dairy Queen isn\u2019t quite as generous as Ben &amp; Jerry\u2019s. While B&amp;J offers you a free scoop of any of their available flavors, DQ is giving away free small vanilla cones and free small vanilla cones only. Limited to one cone per person. (Although, if you visit multiple DQ locations, you can probably score multiple free cones. Don\u2019t tell them we told you to do that, though.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Is that it? Just a free cone?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, no! You can enter <a href=\"https:\/\/dq-freeconesforayear.shared-a.apollo.prod.aws.eprize.net\/rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Dairy Queen\u2019s Free Cone Day Sweepstakes<\/a> for a chance to win free cones for a whole year. Download the DQ app, sign into your DQ rewards account, and follow the prompts. The sweepstakes ends on March 19, though, so get on it!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What else should I get at DQ?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in pairing your free cold treat with some hot eats, you can try the new FlameThrower Chicken Strip Basket off the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.dairyqueen.com\/announcements\/details\/2026\/Sweet-Meets-Heat-DQ-Introduces-New-Swicy-Menu-Featuring-FlameThrower-Chicken-Strips-Soft-Serve-Dipping-Sauce--Refreshing-Lemonade-Beverages\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Swicy Menu<\/a>. It comes with fries, Texas toast, and vanilla soft serve for dipping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"credit: dairy queen \/ sporked Copy this link to share with your friends!
