I’ll probably be outcast by all of my fellow summer babies for admitting this, but I’m totally okay with kicking off the fall season ASAP! This heat has been brutal and I think we could all use a cooldown, no?
But whether or not you’re truly ready to accept our collective autumnal fate, the sometimes-divisive-but-always-delicious pumpkin spice season is barreling toward us at full speed and there’s no stopping it now. Starbucks — the unofficial harbinger of all things PSL — is getting the pumpkin spice party started with the seasonal relaunch of its iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte on Aug. 26. Pumpkin spice everything will soon permeate all aspects of our lives, and if you’re a fan of those yummy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, there are tons of ways to get your favorite fall flavor fix this season.
We’ve got you covered with all the freebies, deals and limited-edition items coming down the pumpkin spice pipeline this autumn, and we’ll keep this space updated as new seasonal items are released. So grab your favorite mug and chunky-knit blanket, light your most cinnamon-forward candle and settle in for the coziest vibes as we dig into the best pumpkin spiced goodies you can get right now.
