Is the Pumpkin Spice Latte still worth the hype in 2025?
Starbucks Confirms Pumpkin Spice Latte Returns August 26
Starbucks has announced that its Pumpkin Spice Latte will officially return to menus across the U.S. and Canada on August 26, 2025. Although this is eight days later than the 2024 release, it's the earliest the coffee chain has revealed its fall menu in years. The PSL remains Starbucks’ most iconic seasonal drink, sparking a craze that has dominated fall coffee culture since its 2003 debut. This year's fall lineup also features returning hits like the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, alongside new options such as the Pecan Cortado and Italian Sausage Egg Bites. The move comes as Google search interest in “pumpkin spice†has surged earlier than usual, indicating strong consumer demand. Starbucks aims to balance tradition with novelty by adding new flavors while celebrating the beloved original PSL.
