Instagram users were definitely enthusiastic about the return of the festive flavor.

"Team Peppermint!! I just bought a bunch of chocolate peppermint goodies at Aldi today!" wrote one person.

"Yum!! and thank gosh it’s nationwide 😂," agreed someone else.

"Yay!! Bring on all the peppermint!!" raved a third fan.

"AHHHHHHHH I will be there first day," vowed another Instagram user.

In a September review of 25 different Blizzard flavors, Parade named French Silk Pie—which features cocoa fudge topping, choco chunks, pie pieces and a smooth whipped topping—as the top pick. Coming in at #25 was the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard, a combination of Libby's Pumpkin Pie Mix, pie chips, nutmeg and whipped topping.

The Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard will only be available for the month of December—but chances are, it'll be back again next year.
