#FOOD: MARCH 19, 2026 IS FREE CONE DAY AT DQ

Thursday, March 19th is Free Cone Day, where DQ® Rewards members can receive one FREE small Vanilla cone by redeeming the deal in the DQ Mobile App*.

But the fun doesn’t stop there: At participating stores, fans can also opt into ‘Dip it for Kids’ by adding any dip to their cone for $1. All proceeds go directly to local children’s hospitals across Canada through the Children’s Miracle Network.

What’s raised locally stays local. Every dollar donated at DQ stores goes directly to the children’s hospital foundation in that community, helping fund the highest-priority needs at local children’s hospitals.

‘Dip it for Kids’ applies to DQ’s classic Chocolate Dip as well as the NEW Mint Crunchin’ Cookie Dipped Cone—a subtle mint-flavoured cone coating with choco cookie pieces.

You may have seen the viral buzz south of the border about DQ’s Valentine’s Cupcakes, with fans racing to their local stores to try the mini version of the iconic DQ cake. This had Canadians feeling a little left out.

Well, now until March 29, 2026, Canadians can get in on the action!

Thanks to overwhelming social chatter and fan demand, some DQ Canada locations are offering the Cupcakes for a limited time as part of a secret menu. Availability will vary by store over the next few weeks, so people should check with their local store before setting out to get a taste of the viral sensation. Given it’s a “Secret Menu” item, people must ask for the item at the register.

The single-serve treats feature layers of soft-serve, fudge and a crunchy chocolate centre, topped with signature DQ icing, delivering the full cake experience in a perfectly portioned size. The Cupcakes are available as singles, two-packs and four-packs.

For fans looking for a sweet deal this Valentine’s Day, DQ’s Cupfections (including the limited-time 2 for $10 offer, running until February 14) offer a similarly fun-sized frozen teat that is widely available across Canada.
