It’s no secret that pumpkin spice is a fan favorite fall flavor. Whether it’s lattes, cookies, or just the sweet smell, pumpkin spice has been a great way to kick off the fall season.

  “For my birthday we always get pumpkin spice donuts and I like hot pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks. I have a pumpkin spice candle burning in my room year round because fall is my favorite season,” junior Makenna Franssens said.

Pumpkin spice is a seasonal trend that comes out around fall. But, there are some forms of this flavor that are out year round.

  “I think it’s okay to start eating pumpkin spice things before fall, but it’s more meaningful and gets you more excited for the season/ seasonal trends if you start using pumpkin spice starting around September,” Franssens said.

   A lot of people get excited for the release of pumpkin spice, but there are some companies who may not be a fan favorite.

  “Some of the flavors are overrated and not necessary, but I really like the drinks and some of the normal things like cookies and donuts,” Franssens said.
