Starbucks introduces three new menu items for Fall 2023.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Season: A Delightful Pumpkin Adventure!

Ah, the glorious arrival of Starbucks’ fall 2023 food and beverage lineup! Can you feel the excitement in the air? That’s right, folks, it’s Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) season, and it’s here to stay. This year, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic drink that has captured the hearts and taste buds of millions. From its humble beginnings to its cult-like following, the PSL has weathered the storm and continued to reign supreme.

Of course, there are always naysayers in every crowd. Some complain about the clichéd horrors of “Christian girl autumn,” while others argue that rolling out a fall drink before Labor Day is sacrilege. But let’s face it, the PSL has stood the test of time for a reason. So let’s embrace it and deal with the fact that PSL season is officially upon us.

On Thursday, August 24, the Starbucks fall menu returns with not one, but two new drinks and a delectable bakery item. Now, the only question remaining is: what will be your first heavenly choice?

“But wait,” you might ask, “isn’t it too early for Pumpkin Spice Latte season this year?” Oh, the great debate! Weather anchor Jess Smith believes August is too soon for pumpkins to be spiced, while Al Roker insists fall doesn’t truly begin until September 23. But let’s not dampen the enthusiasm of those who eagerly await that first sip of pumpkin-infused bliss. Dunkin’ has been selling out of their PSL since August 16, and 7-Eleven and Krispy Kreme weren’t far behind in joining the race.

Personally, I’ve never been a PSL fanatic, but I do take issue with the pumpkin-spice-shaming that persists in our culture. Why should we mock and demean things enjoyed by women? Whether it’s pop music, reality television, trendy fashion aesthetics, or novelty coffee drinks, let’s drown out the sexism and celebrate what brings us joy. So go ahead, girlies, order your PSL with pride! These sweet fall treats are available for a limited time only, so let’s make the most of it with Starbucks’ enticing fall 2023 drink lineup.
