Kroger announced the limited-time collection on September 16, describing more than 15 pumpkin-inspired products. The shopping detail to catch before making a trip: Food 4 Less is excluded from the announced Kroger-family rollout.

The snack options are the interesting part

If you already have your pumpkin-coffee situation handled, these are three different directions for the snack shelf:

• Pumpkin Cheesecake Granola Clusters: A crunchy option inspired by pumpkin cheesecake, rather than an actual refrigerated cheesecake.
• Pumpkin Popcorn: Pumpkin-spice glaze and an icing drizzle make this the sweet-popcorn choice.
• Pumpkin Spice Blondies: These have cream cheese icing, pecans and butterscotch chips. The pecans are worth noticing before adding them to a shared treat plate.

Those descriptions come from Kroger, not a taste test. I would pick by the kind of snack you want—crunchy clusters, popcorn or an iced bakery bite—before letting the word “pumpkin” make every decision in the cart.

There are coffee and cookie options, too

The announced lineup also includes ground coffee and coffee pods, pumpkin-spice syrup, chai black tea, spiced cashews, shortbread cookies and gluten-free pumpkin streusel muffins. “Gluten-free” describes those muffins; it is not a blanket claim about the whole collection.

There is no need to rebuild your entire pantry around one flavor. A drink option and one snack are a much more manageable starting point than discovering you bought six different things for the same afternoon coffee break.

Check your local cart, not a nationwide price assumption

The announcement does not supply item-by-item national prices. Check Kroger.com or your local Kroger-family store and confirm the item, package size, price and availability before planning a pickup.

Limited-time also is not an exact sellout date. No need to invent a countdown; just check the products you actually want while planning your next regular grocery trip.

For a completely different snack-board idea, the Milton’s and Kale Junkie caviar pairing starts with grocery-store crackers instead of pumpkin.

But before you pick the cutest box, there are two details worth checking: which ones have caffeine, and how many boxes you are actually ordering. That second part matters if you want a cozy cup, not a pantry takeover.

Two fall flavors are black tea. Two are caffeine-free.

The flavor names alone do not tell the whole story. Pumpkin Spice and Salted Caramel use black tea; Simply Cinnamon Apple and Cranberry Harvest are herbal blends that Bigelow identifies as caffeine-free.

If skipping caffeine is your deciding factor, that narrows this particular lineup to apple or cranberry. If you want the black-tea base, your choice is pumpkin spice versus caramel. There is no need to order all four just to figure out which side of that split you want.

The $23.95 listing is for six boxes—not one

As checked September 18, 2026, each of these four listings on Bigelow’s site shows $23.95 for six 18-count boxes. That is 108 tea bags of the selected flavor, not a mixed four-flavor sampler.

Before shipping, taxes or any checkout discount, the math works out to about $3.99 per box or 22 cents per tea bag. Buying one case of every flavor would mean 24 boxes and 432 bags, with a listed merchandise total of $95.80. A tea-loving household might use that; someone just curious about cranberry probably does not need to start there.

Check the package quantity wherever you buy, and compare the delivered total rather than treating a case price like a single-box price. Prices and availability can change.

Pick the flavor first, then make room for it

For a breakfast cup, the two black-tea choices could sit alongside something savory like these homemade hashbrowns. For a caffeine-free fall option, the apple-versus-cranberry choice is the useful comparison.

You can browse the Bigelow seasonal collection and follow the individual product links above to check the current package and ingredients. Cozy is the goal. Accidentally ordering six boxes when you meant one is optional.

Two of its fall snack options go in completely different directions: Cornbread Stuffing Potato Chips for the snack bowl and Creamy Creations Caramel Apple Sherbet for the freezer. Here is what to look for before adding either to your grocery list.

The savory option: stuffing-flavored chips

H-E-B Cornbread Stuffing Potato Chips take their flavor cue from the Thanksgiving side dish. FOX San Antonio’s September 16 report identifies them as a limited-time release in 7-ounce bags.

If another pumpkin dessert does nothing for you, this is the item to look for in the chip aisle. I would put a bag on the list for a casual snack night before committing to a whole collection of seasonal sweets. A stuffing-flavored chip has already done enough to get the conversation started.

The sweet option: caramel apple sherbet

On the sweet side, Caramel Apple Sherbet is also part of H-E-B’s fall lineup, according to the same FOX San Antonio report. Look for the Creamy Creations carton pictured above in the freezer aisle.

A frozen dessert and a savory chip are very different ways to bring fall flavors home. I would choose based on the occasion: a snack bowl for a movie night, or something cold to serve after dinner while Texas is still acting like it is summer.

Check the carton size and package’s serving information if you are shopping for a group. One container may be plenty for your own freezer plans; dessert for a gathering takes a little more planning.

Check your store before making a special trip

Use your selected H-E-B store to check availability and the price for your shopping method. A product listing is not a guarantee that your nearest store has it today.

Check each package’s ingredients and allergen information before sharing. These are two separate products; a seasonal label does not make them interchangeable for everyone’s dietary needs.

My shopping-list rule here: choose the one that sounds good for something you are already doing. The entire pantry does not need an autumn rebrand.

For another savory snack idea, the Milton’s and Kale Junkie cracker pairing starts with a very different shopping list.

The Happy Pumpkin Açaí Bowl is part of the chain’s Jacked 4 Pumpkin menu for fall 2026. There are three seasonal choices, so you can go all-in on pumpkin or take the apple-cinnamon route.

The Happy Pumpkin bowl gets the Halloween face

According to Playa’s Happy Pumpkin menu page, the bowl starts with an açaí base. Blueberry flax granola, banana, nondairy coco whip, pumpkin spice and pumpkin butter go on top.

Then comes the part that makes this a Halloween order: a little chocolate-hazelnut jack-o’-lantern. It is the cheerful kind of pumpkin face, which feels entirely appropriate for a bowl you might be eating before noon.

Here is how the three seasonal options compare

My ordering shortcut: choose Happy Pumpkin for the Halloween topping, Apple Cinnamon Crunch if apples are your preferred fall flavor, or the smoothie if you want the drink version. You do not need to order all three to participate in autumn.

When and where to find the menu

Playa Bowls says the lineup launched nationwide on September 9 and is available while supplies last. A fixed final day was not given.

Use the shop locator to check your location’s menu and current price before heading over. The announcement does not set one national price.

The toppings include ingredients such as hazelnut, walnut and peanut butter across the lineup. If you need ingredient or allergy information, check the exact order with the shop; nondairy whip alone does not describe everything in a bowl.

Prefer your apple treat in a can? OLIPOP’s Caramel Apple soda is another way the fall menu has wandered beyond pumpkin coffee.

There is one practical detail to catch before you order a case: this flavor needs refrigeration. Make room next to the cider, because this is a fridge purchase.

What is OLIPOP Caramel Apple?

According to OLIPOP’s product page, the flavor pairs tart green apple with caramel. It uses the brand’s refrigerated formula, with 9 grams of fiber per 12-ounce can. The label also lists 50 calories and 5 grams of total sugar.

The candy-apple idea is the draw here. If pumpkin spice has taken over your entire fall shopping list, an apple-and-caramel drink gives you a different direction without abandoning the season.

How much does a 12-pack cost?

As of September 18, OLIPOP’s site lists a one-time 12-pack purchase at $26.99, down from $35.99 during its 25% fall sale. The posted offer runs through September 21, 2026.

That works out to about $2.25 per can before shipping and tax. Shipping is listed at $3.99 for orders below $50, so one sale-priced case comes to $30.98 before tax. That is about $2.58 per can with that shipping charge included.

Choose the one-time purchase option if you simply want a case. The page also offers a subscription; the promotional subscription price applies to the first order, with later recurring orders discounted 15% from the regular price.

Where to look for it

You can check the direct-order page or use OLIPOP’s store locator to find nearby retailers. Check the specific flavor locally before making a trip.

For a Halloween drink with a guessing-game angle, SUNNYD’s SpookyD mystery flavor is another seasonal find. The caramel-apple crowd, meanwhile, has a very good reason to rearrange the refrigerator.

Smoothie King’s 2026 pumpkin menu currently lists seven smoothies, including a new Pumpkin GLP-1 Slim-N-Trim. There is also a coffee version, a frozen-yogurt option and a plant-based blend, so “let’s get something pumpkin” still leaves you with a few decisions.

What is the new Pumpkin GLP-1 smoothie?

The new addition is Pumpkin GLP-1 Slim-N-Trim, which Smoothie King markets to customers who use GLP-1 medications. Its listed ingredients include organic pumpkin, almond milk, bananas, almonds, the chain’s Slim-N-Trim protein and seasonal spices.

That name describes the company’s menu positioning. It is not a promise about medication results.

For the rest of us staring at a fall menu, the useful distinction is that this is a separate blend from the regular Pumpkin Slim-N-Trim. Those two similar names refer to different ingredient lists.

All seven pumpkin smoothies on the menu

Here is the quick way to tell the options apart, based on Smoothie King’s current pumpkin menu:

• Pumpkin GLP-1 Slim-N-Trim: the new almond-milk blend described above.
• Pumpkin Power Meal: pumpkin with almonds, dates and the chain’s Gladiator protein.
• Pumpkin D-Lite: the frozen-yogurt option, with dates and nonfat milk.
• Pumpkin Coffee High Protein: your choice of cold brew or espresso in the pumpkin blend.
• Pumpkin Vegan: oat milk, bananas, dates and plant-based protein.
• Pumpkin Slim-N-Trim: pumpkin, bananas, dates and Slim-N-Trim protein.
• Pumpkin Keto Champ: almond milk, almond butter and Keto Protein.

These are the distinguishing ingredients, not complete ingredient or allergen lists. The brand lists organic pumpkin and seasonal spices across the lineup.

How to order one

The pumpkin drinks are a limited-time seasonal lineup. Start with the official menu, then select your location in Smoothie King’s ordering site for the options and prices available there.

The coffee-versus-frozen-yogurt decision seems like the easiest place to start. After that, you can compare the actual ingredients instead of trying to decipher seven very enthusiastic smoothie names at the counter.

And if your fall-drink plans also include a coffee run, our Starbucks fall menu guide has that stop covered. Pumpkin season apparently requires an itinerary now.

Josh & John’s says two pumpkin flavors arrive at its stores Friday, September 18, 2026, at noon: Pumpkin Cheesecake Cinnamon Swirl and dairy-free Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie.

One is pumpkin pie meets cheesecake

Pumpkin Cheesecake Cinnamon Swirl starts with pumpkin ice cream, adds cheesecake chunks, and folds in a cinnamon graham cracker crust swirl. That is a very convincing list of reasons to save room for dessert.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie takes the other route: a dairy-free pumpkin base with soft, spiced oatmeal cookie pieces. The brand labels this flavor dairy-free; if you have an allergy, check its ingredient and shared-equipment information before ordering.

I haven’t tasted either new flavor yet. I’m going off the shop’s announcement and descriptions, and the cheesecake-and-graham-cracker combination is the one I want to try first.

When can you get the pumpkin flavors?

The company’s September 11 announcement puts the in-store launch at noon on September 18, with scoops, pints and tubs. Josh & John’s describes this as a seasonal release intended to stick around through pumpkin season, while supplies last. It has not given a fixed final day.

For downtown Colorado Springs, the shop is at 329 N. Tejon Street. You can check the official shop directory for the location nearest you and current hours.

There is a shipping option, too

You do not have to live near a Colorado scoop shop to look into these. Both pumpkin flavors appear in the nationwide shipping selection.

Check the order page for the current delivery window and total before buying. The shipping format is an eight-pint order, so this is a freezer-stock-up situation rather than mailing yourself one scoop. Seasonal selections and shipping charges need a look at checkout.

If you are local like me, September 18 is the date to keep handy. If you are putting together a fall snack list from farther away, our new pumpkin products guide has more seasonal food and drink ideas.

The brand’s new Pumpkin Spice Skyr is a limited-time seasonal flavor made with actual pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Icelandic Provisions says this is its first seasonal limited-time skyr flavor.

What is in Icelandic Provisions Pumpkin Spice Skyr?

The ingredient list starts with Icelandic Provisions’ low-fat skyr and includes pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cane sugar, maple syrup, unsalted butter, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Each 5.3-ounce cup has 15 grams of protein, 140 calories and 11 grams of total sugar, according to the brand’s current product page.

Honestly, the real pumpkin is the detail that got me. Pumpkin spice season has reached the point where almost anything can be called pumpkin spice if cinnamon gets within six feet of it, so putting actual pumpkin in the cup feels refreshingly literal.

This is Icelandic Provisions’ first seasonal limited-time flavor

Icelandic Provisions announced Pumpkin Spice Skyr on August 19, 2026 as its first seasonal limited-time offering. The brand said the flavor was developed around the idea of combining its thick Icelandic-style skyr with the familiar sweet-and-spiced profile of fall.

At launch, Icelandic Provisions said the flavor would roll out through retailers including Whole Foods Market, Wegmans, Market Basket, The GIANT Company, Weis Markets, Giant Eagle, Fresh Thyme, Raley’s, New Seasons, Town & Country and Harmons, along with other independent retailers. Availability can vary by location, so checking the refrigerated yogurt section before making a special trip is probably the move.

Yes, it belongs in the 2026 pumpkin pile

We have been keeping a running list of the new pumpkin products for 2026, and Pumpkin Spice Skyr absolutely belongs there. It is different enough from the endless pumpkin coffee launches to be interesting, but still aggressively fall enough to make sense the second September shows up.

We have not taste-tested this one yet, so I am not going to tell you it is amazing before a spoon has actually hit the cup. For now, the useful part is that it is real, it is seasonal, and it is officially on the 2026 fall grocery list.

Starbucks Fall 2026 is much bigger than one Pumpkin Spice Latte. The official lineup has returning pumpkin favorites, three new pumpkin drinks, pecan, banana-bread-inspired drinks, Chaider and fall food.

This is the living master guide for the season. The exact launch story keeps the full menu details, individual custom drinks keep their own recipes, and this page becomes the map that connects everything without pretending an old secret-menu order still works just because it once did.

The official fall menu is already live

Our Starbucks Fall Menu 2026 guide tracks the current official launch. The fall menu arrived August 25 at participating U.S. coffeehouses, with availability still varying by store.

The returning pumpkin group includes Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino. The new pumpkin drinks are Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha and Pumpkin Spice Chai.

If you only want the pumpkin universe, our New Pumpkin Products 2026 roundup keeps Starbucks connected to the rest of the season’s pumpkin launches.

Pecan is back, and banana bread got two drinks

The 2026 pecan lineup includes Pecan Cortado, Iced Pecan Crunch Latte and Pecan Crunch Latte. Starbucks also added Iced Banana Bread Latte and Iced Banana Bread Chai.

The banana drinks use banana syrup with brown sugar cream cold foam and cinnamon dolce topping. Starbucks has said those two are intended to stay beyond the fall season, although store inventory can still vary.

Chaider is the weird one worth knowing

Iced Chaider combines chai with strawberry açaí flavors for a cider-inspired drink. It is an official menu item, not one of our fan nicknames, which means you can look for the actual name instead of handing a barista a paragraph of instructions.

Our broader Fall Food & Drinks 2026 guide also tracks Starbucks alongside apple soda, caramel apple pastries, SONIC’s Hotumn drinks and other current fall food.

The food case has more than the pumpkin muffin

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin is back, and the current fall menu also includes the Hedgehog Cake Pop and Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket.

The useful rule here is the same as the drink menu: check the selected store before making a special trip. Seasonal items can sell out, and a menu launch does not guarantee every café has every item all day.

What about the Totally The Bomb secret menu?

TTB has years of Starbucks recipes, which is useful only if we are willing to admit that ingredients change. Our Starbucks Secret Menu 2026 guide explains the current rule: Starbucks now has featured secret-menu customizations in its app, while fan recipes outside that selection still need to be ordered by their actual ingredients and amounts.

That means old fall favorites can feed this page only after the current ingredient path is checked. A recipe built around something Starbucks no longer carries stays historical or gets a clearly labeled current adaptation.

Hocus Pocus still gets its own drink rabbit hole

For the witchy side, our Hocus Pocus Finds 2026 guide routes readers into the current Hocus Pocus Latte recipe and other spooky-season drink ideas while keeping the official Starbucks menu separate from custom orders.

That distinction matters. Official drinks get their menu names. TTB custom drinks get their ingredient scripts. Nobody should have to ask a barista to recognize a fan nickname and hope for the best.

How this page stays useful

New official launches, ingredient changes and genuinely orderable TTB customizations can be added here as the season moves. Exact stories keep their own URLs and search intent, while this page stays the broad Starbucks fall map.

The goal is one useful Starbucks Fall 2026 destination, not twenty competing pages all trying to own the same seasonal search.

The easiest way to choose is by the kind of treat you actually want: a coffee run, a bakery stop, a drink for the fridge, a refrigerated snack or something to open at home. Here are the seasonal lineups worth knowing about, with links to the full menus and individual finds.

Find your fall craving

• Apple without a coffee order: Culture Pop Sparkling Apple soda, with a hint of chai.
• Bakery flavors in a cup: Starbucks’ pecan and banana-bread-inspired drinks.
• Something flaky: Paris Baguette’s Pumpkin Spice Cruffin and Caramel Apple pastries.
• Fall when it is still hot outside: SONIC’s four cold Hotumn drinks.
• A refrigerated pumpkin snack: Icelandic Provisions Pumpkin Spice Skyr with real pumpkin.
• A snack for the couch: CVS Well Market mini cookies or chocolate-filled waffle cones.
• The full pumpkin or Halloween hunt: our dedicated product guides below.

Culture Pop puts apple and chai in the soda fridge

Culture Pop’s Sparkling Apple combines autumn apple flavor with a hint of chai. The brand’s current page offers a 12-pack for $29.99 as a one-time purchase, before any shipping or tax. That is about $2.50 per can, so it makes sense to think of it as a planned treat rather than an inexpensive case of soda.

This is the easy pick when you want a packaged cold drink instead of a café customization. You can read more in our Culture Pop Sparkling Apple story. Check the brand’s shop or store finder for your buying options; a national launch is not a guarantee that your nearest grocery store has it.

Starbucks has a whole bakery-flavor lane

The official Starbucks fall guide includes Pecan Cortado, Pecan Crunch Latte and Iced Pecan Crunch Latte, plus Iced Banana Bread Latte and Iced Banana Bread Chai. These give the familiar fall coffee run a direction beyond pumpkin.

Prefer to stay with the classic flavor? Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew are among the returning options. New pumpkin choices include Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso and Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha. For food, the guide also lists a Hedgehog Cake Pop and the returning Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin.

Choose your preferred base first—espresso, chai or matcha—then the seasonal flavor. Our complete Starbucks fall menu guide is the place for the longer menu and ordering details.

Paris Baguette makes the apple-versus-pumpkin decision difficult

The Paris Baguette fall lineup includes a Pumpkin Spice Cruffin: a croissant-muffin pastry with pumpkin-spice filling, pumpkin icing and pumpkin seeds. If you are after a pastry rather than a drink, that is a useful starting point.

The apple side includes a Caramel Apple Streusel Donut and a Caramel Apple Streusel Trifle, while Caramel Apple Matcha Latte brings the same theme to a hot or iced drink. The trifle layers vanilla sponge, pastry cream and cinnamon apples with streusel and caramel. Choose the donut for a handheld treat or the trifle when you want a spoon-and-dessert moment.

Selection and prices vary by bakery café, so check your location’s current menu before making a special trip.

SONIC is doing cold, fruity fall drinks

SONIC’s limited-time Hotumn lineup has four options: Cherry Pie made with Coke, Blueberry Pie made with Dr Pepper, Harvest Berry made with Sprite and Cranberry Orchard Sweet Tea.

The first two use sweet cream alongside their fruit and vanilla flavors. Harvest Berry combines cranberry, wildberry and vanilla; Cranberry Orchard Sweet Tea pairs cranberry with peach puree. That gives you a useful dividing line: creamy soda-inspired dessert drink, or a fruitier soda or tea. Check participating locations and the app for local availability and pricing.

Icelandic Provisions made pumpkin spice a refrigerated snack

Icelandic Provisions Pumpkin Spice Skyr is a limited-time seasonal flavor made with real pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg. The current product page lists 15 grams of protein per 5.3-ounce cup.

This is the pick when you want fall flavor without another coffee or pastry. The standalone story has the full ingredient, nutrition and launch-retailer details.

CVS has apple, pumpkin and a little popping candy

CVS Well Market’s fall snacks include Apple Cinnamon Mini Cookies, Pumpkin Spice Mini Cookies, Milk Chocolate Waffle Cones and Milk Chocolate & Popping Candy Waffle Cones. The mini cookies come in five-ounce boxes; the cones come in 4.23-ounce bags.

The cookies are the straightforward seasonal-flavor choice. The popping-candy cones are the novelty pick for someone who wants a little crackle with their chocolate. These are packaged snacks to look for on a regular store run; check local selection before planning around one specific bag.

For pumpkin devotees and Halloween snack collectors

Our New Pumpkin Products 2026 guide goes deeper on that flavor across drinks, bakeries and groceries. If your shopping list is more about spooky shapes and candy bags, head to Halloween Food & Treats 2026.

Pick one café stop and one at-home snack and you have a very respectable fall afternoon. The entire seasonal aisle does not need to come home with you. Probably.

Philadelphia Lactose Free is made with real dairy, and the brand says it can replace original Philadelphia cream cheese one-for-one. That is the detail that makes this grocery find especially interesting with fall baking season ahead.

Where to look for Philadelphia lactose-free cream cheese

Philadelphia announced a nationwide retail rollout beginning in August 2026. The brand’s PR team named Kroger, Target and Meijer among the initial retailers, with Walmart joining the rollout in September.

Look in the refrigerated dairy aisle alongside the original Philadelphia brick, and check your local store’s inventory before making a trip. A national rollout does not mean every location receives it on the same day.

The package says Lactose Free above the Philadelphia logo. That is the label to look for when you are sorting through the familiar blue boxes.

It is still real dairy

According to the Kraft Heinz announcement, this version uses fresh milk, real cream and a lactase enzyme. It is lactose-free cream cheese, not a dairy-free or vegan alternative.

That distinction matters when you are choosing ingredients for somebody else. Do not treat “lactose-free” as “milk-free,” and read the package for the complete ingredient and allergen information.

Can you use it in cream cheese recipes?

Philadelphia says the new brick is a one-to-one swap for its original cream cheese. If a recipe calls for eight ounces of original cream cheese, that means the brand’s suggested substitution is eight ounces of the lactose-free version.

I haven’t tested the new brick in these recipes yet. These are cream-cheese ideas from the TTB archive to put on your list, with Philadelphia’s substitution guidance as the starting point.

Check the rest of the ingredient list, too. Several recipes below also contain milk, cream, butter, other cheeses or prepared ingredients. Changing the cream cheese alone does not make the entire dish lactose-free.

Fall and holiday treats to start with

• Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Spice Cake Balls
• No-Bake Candy Corn Cheesecake
• Cream Cheese Apple Pie Sopapilla Recipe
• Cranberry Pinwheels Are That Sweet And Savory Appetizer You Must Have In Your Life

The pumpkin spice cake balls and candy corn cheesecakes are the first two I would put on a fall baking list. The sopapillas bring apple pie into the conversation, and cranberry pinwheels give you a savory option for the snack table.

More cheesecake, frosting and chocolate ideas

• 3-Ingredient Chocolate Oreo Truffles
• Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake
• The Easiest No Bake Berry Cheesecake You’ll Make
• Raspberry Cheesecake Cupcakes
• It’s the Carrot Cake of Your Dreams–and Bunny Dreams
• Mojito Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Icing

And yes, there are savory cream cheese ideas

• Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pinwheels Are Your New Favorite Appetizer
• Mickey Mouse Pizza Dip – The Cutest Appetizer Ever
• Sweet Pepper Poppers
• Easy Loaded Potato Casserole

For me, the appeal is having another version of a familiar baking ingredient to consider without starting every recipe from scratch. You can read Philadelphia’s full product announcement for its ingredient and substitution details, then check the refrigerated aisle for the brick marked Lactose Free.

This living roundup covers spooky coffee, TTB secret-menu recipes, official seasonal café drinks, grocery beverages and party-drink ideas. The exact recipes keep their own pages; this is the broad Halloween-drink map.

Start with the Zombie Frappuccino

The Zombie Frappuccino is one of the archive recipes we have already brought forward and cleaned up for current ordering. It is a TTB custom drink, not an official Starbucks menu item, so the useful thing is the recipe: start with the current base drink and give the barista the customizations instead of ordering by a made-up name.

That is the rule for this entire roundup. “Secret menu” means custom recipe, not a hidden corporate menu.

The Sanderson Sisters are basically their own drink category

Our Hocus Pocus Latte and Sanderson Sisters Apple Cider are exactly why archive mining matters. They already have detailed standalone ordering pages, so this hub can send you there instead of copying the whole recipe.

They also connect cleanly to our broader Hocus Pocus and Disney Halloween coverage without turning those shopping guides into drink lists.

More TTB Halloween Starbucks recipes to revisit

The archive goes much deeper. There is a Trick or Treat Frappuccino, a Candy Corn Cold Brew, plus years of monster, witch, vampire, pumpkin and movie-inspired drinks.

Those old pages are useful recipe inventory, but we are not pretending every syrup and topping from every year still exists. Before an older drink gets labeled “orderable now,” its base drink and customizations have to be checked against the current menu. If an ingredient is gone, the recipe either gets a sensible verified substitution or stays clearly labeled as an archive idea.

What Starbucks officially has for fall 2026

Starbucks’ official 2026 fall menu gives us a useful current ingredient and flavor baseline. Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino returned, while Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha and Pumpkin Spice Chai joined the lineup.

For the full official lineup, use our Starbucks Fall Menu 2026 guide. Halloween recipes stay here; the official fall menu keeps its own intent.

Halloween drinks are bigger than Starbucks

Any substantial 2026 Halloween drink from a café, restaurant or grocery brand can feed this page once it is verified. That includes limited seasonal coffees, spooky shakes, themed sodas, bottled drinks and other releases that are meaningfully Halloween-specific.

General pumpkin drinks can also belong in New Pumpkin Products 2026. Broad candy and snack releases belong in Halloween Food & Treats 2026. One story can be useful to more than one hub without cloning the whole article.

Party drinks and evergreen Halloween recipes belong here too

This does not have to be a shopping page only. Useful TTB mocktails, punches and Halloween party drinks can join the roundup as evergreen recipes. They just need to be labeled for what they are — recipes and ideas — instead of being dressed up as “new for 2026.”

How this page will keep growing

Every new Halloween beverage story gets checked against this roundup. We will also keep mining the old TTB archive, re-checking ingredient availability where it matters and linking the strongest exact recipes here.

The goal is simple: if you want a spooky drink, you should be able to start here instead of searching fifteen years of Halloween posts one at a time.

Culture Pop apparently looked at that memo, grabbed an apple instead, and made a soda that sounds like sparkling cider’s cooler, less syrupy cousin.

The brand’s new Sparkling Apple soda pairs apple juice with a hint of chai, which is exactly the kind of crisp-meets-cozy combination September needs.

This is not just apple-flavored soda

Culture Pop describes the flavor as a juicy snap of autumn apples with a hint of chai. That little bit of spice is what makes this feel more like an actual fall drink and less like someone dropped an apple candy into seltzer.

We have not taste-tested it, so I am not going to pretend I can tell you exactly how the chai comes through. But apple and warm spice already belong together, and putting that combination into a cold fizzy drink is smart. You get fall flavor without committing to a hot latte when the weather is still doing that weird September thing.

The soda is caffeine-free and shelf-stable, according to Culture Pop. The company also says its drinks are made with organic fruit juices and steeped spices and herbs, with no refined sugar, stevia, or artificial sweeteners.

It comes in a 12-pack

Culture Pop currently lists Sparkling Apple in a 12-pack for $29.99 as a one-time purchase. The page also shows a subscribe-and-save option with 10% off, and the company’s shop notes that orders over $40 ship free.

That puts it firmly in special-fall-drink territory, not the toss-a-case-in-the-cart-without-thinking territory. Still, if you are already the person buying probiotic soda, sparkling cider, or every apple-flavored thing you see between September and Thanksgiving, this one is going to be hard to ignore.

If you want another cold drink for the part of fall that still feels like summer, SONIC’s Hotumn lineup is basically built for that exact problem.

Where to find Culture Pop Sparkling Apple

You can order the Sparkling Apple 12-pack directly from Culture Pop. The product page also links to Amazon and the brand’s store locator for nearby retailers.

Availability and prices can change, especially with a seasonal flavor, so check the live listing before ordering.

Pumpkin spice can keep the coffee aisle. This fall, the soda fridge belongs to apple and chai.

Culture Pop Sparkling Apple FAQ

What flavor is Culture Pop Sparkling Apple?

Culture Pop describes it as sparkling apple soda made with apple juice and a hint of chai.

How much does Culture Pop Sparkling Apple cost?

The brand currently lists a 12-pack for $29.99 as a one-time purchase and shows a subscribe-and-save option with 10% off.

Does Culture Pop Sparkling Apple contain caffeine?

Culture Pop lists the seasonal soda as caffeine-free.

The brand is teaming up with Tower 28 on two limited-edition lip sets, and the practical question is whether you want two full-size glosses or four tiny treatments. Because apparently snack decisions now require a beauty budget.

Two glosses or the little pudding flight?

Kraft Heinz’s September 9 announcement lists the Lip Jelly Duo at $24. It pairs full-size Strawberry and Lemon Lime ShineOn Lip Jelly glosses. Strawberry has a sheer pink, pH-activated stain; Lemon Lime goes on clear despite that bright green tube.

The $20 Lil’ Pudding Snack Set contains four mini LipSoftie treatments: Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Vanilla Swirls, Banana Cream and Pistachio.

The important difference is size and format, not just the number of tubes. Four minis are a sampler. Two full-size glosses are a different purchase.

They arrive at Sephora next week

The announced launch is September 13 online at Sephora and September 15 in U.S. Sephora stores. That is a release date, not confirmation that your nearby store has stock.

These are cosmetics inspired by dessert. We have not tested the formulas or their flavor, and there is no reason to turn a launch announcement into a wear test.

If food-inspired lip care is your weakness, there is also Thrive’s returning pumpkin-spice lip treatment.

The pudding belongs in the purse. The spoon can stay home.

That feels like a small betrayal. It is also a real Febreze collaboration, with three Dunkin’-inspired scents arriving at Walmart this September.

Dunkin’s announcement lists Strawberry Frosted Donut, Cinnamon Roll and Vanilla Latte, with suggested prices starting at $3.97. These are Walmart exclusives, not something to add to a drive-thru order.

Choose the scent and the format

The lineup is not identical across products:

• Strawberry Frosted Donut: AIR, PLUG, BATHROOM and CAR.
• Cinnamon Roll: AIR, PLUG and BATHROOM.
• Vanilla Latte: AIR, PLUG and CAR.

That means the cinnamon-roll car freshener you might reasonably go looking for is not in the announced collection. Check the actual format before buying.

The brand describes bakery and coffee-inspired fragrances, not products containing real coffee or food. They are air-care products, not edible treats, however convincing the names sound.

Local stock and shelf prices still need checking at Walmart. And if your seasonal cleaning aisle already includes pumpkin-spice Fabuloso, the house is getting dangerously close to having a menu.

Someone should still bring actual donuts.

This is the broad guide. When a launch is big enough to deserve its own story, we’ll link you there for the full menu, photos, dates and ordering details instead of making you read the same thing twice.

What pumpkin products are new for 2026?

• Starbucks: three new pumpkin drinks joined returning favorites, plus the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin is back.
• Paris Baguette: pumpkin pastries and drinks are part of the bakery café’s fall menu.
• CVS Well Market: pumpkin spice mini cookies are part of the retailer’s fall snack assortment.
• Trader Joe’s: Pumpkin Sourdough Bread, Pumpkin Gnocchi, Pumpkin Bisque and Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cakes are in the current Fall Fearless Flyer.
• Tate’s Bake Shop: Pumpkin Spice Cookies are back for a limited time, with white chocolate chips and the brand’s thin, crisp texture.
• Icelandic Provisions: Pumpkin Spice Skyr is a limited-time seasonal flavor made with pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• More is coming: this list will keep changing as restaurant, grocery and snack brands announce their fall lineups.

Starbucks has the biggest pumpkin drink lineup so far

Starbucks launched its 2026 fall menu on August 25 with the Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino returning.

The new pumpkin drinks this year are the Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha and Pumpkin Spice Chai. The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin is back too.

And Starbucks is not done. On September 29, a new Pumpkin Mini Pie is scheduled to join the fall lineup alongside Apple Crumble and Pecan Mini Pies.

We have the complete current menu, ingredient notes and ordering details in our Starbucks Fall Menu 2026 guide.

Paris Baguette went full pumpkin bakery

Paris Baguette’s fall menu includes pumpkin pastries and seasonal drinks, including the Pumpkin Spice Cruffin and Pumpkin Streusel Latte. This is the category where pumpkin makes the most sense to me: flaky pastry, streusel, coffee, done.

The full fall menu also has caramel apple items, so if you are refusing to choose between apple season and pumpkin season, apparently Paris Baguette supports your decision. See the full Paris Baguette fall menu here.

CVS has pumpkin spice snacks in the Well Market aisle

CVS added pumpkin spice mini cookies to its Well Market fall assortment. The same seasonal snack drop also includes apple cinnamon mini cookies and chocolate-filled waffle cones, so this is less “one pumpkin item” and more “the snack aisle has accepted fall.”

We have the current product details in our CVS Well Market fall snacks story.

Trader Joe’s Fall Fearless Flyer is loaded with pumpkin food

Trader Joe’s current fall promotion specifically calls out Pumpkin Sourdough Bread, Pumpkin Gnocchi, Pumpkin Bisque and Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cakes.

The brand describes the sourdough as limited supply, so this is another one where checking your local store before making a special trip is the move.

Tate’s brought back its Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Tate’s Pumpkin Spice Cookies are thin, crisp and loaded with white chocolate chips and cozy pumpkin spice flavor.

Check the Tate’s product page before ordering, because the brand labels these as seasonally available and limited edition.

Icelandic Provisions put real pumpkin in seasonal skyr

Icelandic Provisions Pumpkin Spice Skyr is a limited-time fall grocery release made with pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. The brand’s current product page lists 15 grams of protein per 5.3-ounce cup.

This one earns a spot because it is not another coffee customization: it adds a refrigerated grocery option to the pumpkin pile, and the standalone story keeps the full ingredient, nutrition and retailer details.

What belongs on this list?

We’re keeping this page focused on actual 2026 pumpkin products and menu items with current source evidence. That can include restaurant drinks, bakery items, grocery snacks, candy, mixes and other seasonal releases.

A product does not have to contain pumpkin to qualify if the brand is explicitly selling it as pumpkin spice or pumpkin-flavored. But a random orange Halloween product does not automatically become a pumpkin product just because October exists.

What we’re watching next

More restaurant and grocery launches are still arriving. When a new pumpkin story goes live on Totally The Bomb, this hub will be checked automatically to see whether it belongs here too.

That means you should not have to hunt through ten separate posts just to answer one question: what new pumpkin stuff came out in 2026?

I am sorry, but getting two actual Spice Girls and then sliding Rachel Dratch into the lineup as Pumpkin Spice is exactly the kind of nonsense a fall coffee campaign should be.

Which Spice Girls are in the new Dunkin’ pumpkin campaign?

The campaign stars Emma Bunton, better known as Baby Spice, and Geri Halliwell-Horner, the one and only Ginger Spice. Saturday Night Live alum Rachel Dratch joins them as “Pumpkin Spice,” because apparently somebody at Dunkin’ understood the assignment.

Dunkin’ says the trio is coming together to officially welcome pumpkin season. The campaign launches September 8, 2026, at 5 a.m. Eastern.

What pumpkin drinks are at Dunkin’ for fall 2026?

The celebrity campaign arrives after Dunkin’ rolled out its 2026 fall menu nationwide. According to Dunkin’s official fall announcement, the pumpkin lineup includes:

• Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte: pumpkin, vanilla, and warm fall spices with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon sugar.
• Pumpkin Cloud Dunkalatte: espresso and coffee milk with pumpkin swirl, Sweet Cold Foam, and cinnamon sugar.
• Pumpkin Pie Coffee Chiller: frozen coffee with pumpkin swirl, Marshmallow Cold Foam, whipped cream, caramel, and cinnamon sugar.
• Pumpkin Patch Cloud Latte: pumpkin swirl, vanilla, espresso, whole milk, Sweet Cold Foam, and cinnamon sugar.
• Nutty Pumpkin Protein Latte: espresso and protein milk with pumpkin and hazelnut flavors; Dunkin’ lists 17 grams of protein in a medium.

The Pumpkin Donut, Pumpkin MUNCHKINS Donut Hole Treats, and Pumpkin Muffin are back too. Availability can vary by participating location, and the seasonal items are offered for a limited time.

Is this a new Spice Girls reunion?

It is a Dunkin’ pumpkin campaign, not an announcement of a new tour or full-group reunion. But Baby Spice and Ginger Spice sharing the screen with Rachel Dratch as Pumpkin Spice is still an aggressively delightful little piece of ’90s-meets-fall chaos.

Dunkin’ provided the celebrity campaign details to Totally The Bomb under embargo. Menu descriptions and the product image come from Dunkin’s official 2026 newsroom materials. We have not taste-tested these drinks.

Thrive Causemetics has brought back its limited-edition Pout Hero Liquid Balm Lip Treatment in Pumpkin Spice Latte, which means you can now add pumpkin spice to your fall beauty routine too.

And yes, this is exactly the kind of ridiculous seasonal product I want to know exists.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte version of Pout Hero is currently listed for $26 on Thrive Causemetics’ website as a limited-edition seasonal flavor.

According to Thrive Causemetics, Pout Hero is a leave-on liquid lip balm designed to moisturize dry lips while giving them a softer, fuller-looking appearance.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Pout Hero Is Limited Edition

Thrive is specifically labeling Pumpkin Spice Latte as a limited-edition option, so this isn’t necessarily something you’ll be able to grab year-round.

The company is currently featuring its return prominently on the Thrive Causemetics website for fall. The treatment comes in a 0.22-fluid-ounce tube.

Other flavors listed by Thrive include Vanilla Sugar Cookie, Gingerbread, Original Flavor-Free and Birthday Cake, although availability varies. Birthday Cake was sold out when we checked.

What Does Thrive Causemetics Pout Hero Do?

According to the brand, Pout Hero is meant to coat lips in long-lasting moisture and help improve the appearance of dry, chapped lips.

Thrive says the formula includes plant extracts, vitamins and antioxidants and is designed to leave lips looking smoother and fuller.

We haven’t personally tested the Pumpkin Spice Latte version, so we can’t tell you how strong the scent is. This is a look at the seasonal release, based on Thrive’s product information and the announcement supplied by Michele Marie PR.

But if you are the person who starts counting down to pumpkin spice season sometime around July, this absolutely feels like something you’re going to want to know about.

You can find the limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Latte Pout Hero Liquid Balm Lip Treatment through Thrive Causemetics while it is available.

So basically: lip balm, but make it PSL.

They’re part of the Well Market fall assortment, which also includes apple cinnamon and pumpkin spice mini cookies. CVS’s PR team lists all four featured snacks at $5.99 each; local pricing and availability may vary.

The four snacks to look for

• Milk Chocolate & Popping Candy Waffle Cones: crispy mini cones with Belgian milk chocolate and popping candy. The 4.23-ounce bag is the one to look for if your Halloween snack preference includes a little crackle.
• Milk Chocolate Waffle Cones: the chocolate-filled cone option without the popping candy, also in a 4.23-ounce bag.
• Apple Cinnamon Mini Cookies: five-ounce boxes of cookies made with real apples, according to the brand.
• Pumpkin Spice Mini Cookies: five-ounce boxes made with real butter and spices including cinnamon and nutmeg, per CVS’s product information.

The packaging is dressed for Halloween

Well Market is CVS’s own food and snack brand.

The packaging is getting into Halloween, too: the popping-candy cones have an orange bag with spooky illustrations, while the pumpkin spice cookie box looks like a purple haunted house. Both would fit right into a little fall snack basket.

Check your CVS before making a snack run

Check the linked CVS listings and your local store’s options before making a special trip. Seasonal products can sell through, and an online listing does not guarantee stock at every CVS.

Chocolate-filled cones in a Halloween bag. Picking up toothpaste could get expensive.

Product details and announced prices supplied by CVS’s PR team. This is a preview of the lineup, not a taste test.

These are the cookies you make when a plain orange sprinkle simply is not doing enough. Every cookie gets its own tiny pumpkin patch, and honestly, that is adorable.

What are Pumpkin Patch Cookies?

Ashley Craft created this recipe for The Unofficial Disney Parks Holidays Cookbook. It is inspired by the Halloween cookies served at Catalina Eddie’s in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Pumpkin Patch Cookies recipe

Makes 12 cookies

For the cookies

• 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the frosting

• 1/3 cup salted butter, softened
• 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

For assembly

• 12 tablespoons green piping frosting
• 36 candy pumpkins

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a full-sized baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on medium speed for 2 minutes or until soft. Mix on low and add the egg, vanilla, flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix for 2 minutes more or until combined.
3. Use a 2–3-tablespoon cookie scoop to make 12 mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Cool completely on the baking sheet, about 30 minutes.
4. In a clean mixer bowl with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and whipping cream and mix until smooth. Frost the cooled cookies.
5. Use green frosting fitted with a grass tip to pipe grass patches. Switch to a small round tip and pipe vines around the grass. Add three candy pumpkins to each cookie and serve. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days.

Can kids decorate their own pumpkin patch cookies?

Absolutely. The cookbook suggests letting kids build their own spooky scenes with seasonal decorations such as candy pumpkins, sugar tombstones, or other Halloween sprinkles. Just check ingredient labels and age-appropriateness for every candy decoration you use.
