Dairy Queen's new holiday dessert follows McDonald's recent announcement that the Shamrock Shake is making its return.
The seasonal mint drink officially hits stores Feb. 5, featuring vanilla soft serve blended with mint syrup and topped with whipped cream.
"Make your friends green with envy and snag one of these famously minty treats while supplies last," McDonald's said in its announcement, which also introduced the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry, packed with crushed Oreos.
With its early launch, the Shamrock Shake will be available for over a month before St. Patrick's Day at participating locations nationwide.
