If you need a reason to dig that truly questionable Christmas sweater out of the closet, Dairy Queen<\/a> just handed Lubbock<\/a> a very sweet one. On Friday, December 19th, participating DQ restaurants across Texas–including right here in Lubbock–are celebrating National Ugly Sweater Day<\/a> with a FREE mini Blizzard Treat for guests who show up wearing an ugly sweater.<\/p>\n

\"93.1<\/p>\n

This is a one-day-only offer, and it\u2019s available exclusively through the DQ app<\/a>. Guests must redeem the deal in person, so yes–you\u2019ll need both your sweater and your phone to make this holiday win official.<\/p>\n

How Lubbock Can Score the Free Mini Blizzard<\/p>\n

The rules are simple and very on brand for December in West Texas:<\/p>\n

Visit a participating DQ restaurant on Friday, December 19th<\/p>\n

Redeem the offer in person<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it. No purchase required. No judging panel for sweater quality–though if yours lights up or features a reindeer doing something questionable, bonus points in the court of public opinion.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the perfect excuse to take a break from holiday shopping, escape wrapping-paper chaos, or just enjoy five minutes of peace while the kids argue over which Blizzard flavor is best.<\/p>\n

Holiday Blizzards and New Eats at Texas DQ<\/p>\n

According to Lou Romanus, CEO of the Texas Dairy Queen Operators\u2019 Council, the timing couldn\u2019t be better. The DQ Holiday Blizzard Menu is in full swing and includes the NEW Peppermint Bark Blizzard Treat, along with the returning fan-favorite Frosted Sugar Cookie Blizzard Treat.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re more in a savory mood before dessert–because balance–DQ restaurants in Texas are also rolling out all-new Chicken Tenders, made from 100% chicken tenderloin, marinated in a signature spice blend, breaded, and cooked to crunchy perfection.<\/p>\n

A Lubbock Holiday Tradition in the Making<\/p>\n

For more than 78 years, DQ restaurants in Texas have been gathering spots for families, friends, and post-game ice cream runs. This Ugly Sweater Day promotion feels tailor-made for Lubbock–equal parts festive, fun, and food-focused.<\/p>\n

DQ is also offering holiday-themed gift cards, making it easy to share the joy (or just ensure future Blizzards for yourself).<\/p>\n

So, Lubbock, grab your ugliest sweater, download the app, and claim your free mini Blizzard on December 19th. Because if you\u2019re going to wear something that ugly, it should at least come with ice cream.<\/p>\n
