Fall is so much more than just a season that signifies the start of school and the temperature change; it has become a state of mind when it makes us remember pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving, chilly nights sitting by the fire. We all love to hold a warm mug of something yummy.
Starbucks fall drinks.
Latte season is anticipated by so many and offered at many restaurants. Starbucks is one of the leaders in hot drinks and has come out this year with some new drinks to accompany the famous Pumpkin Spice Latte. Apple Crisp Shaken Espresso and Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte are two drinks on the menu that have received a lot of attention from many people. Some people warn not to drink the Apple Crisp Shaken Espresso because the artificial apple flavor is not very real. Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte seems to be a more popular drink. Many chai tea latte lovers enjoy this drink because the pumpkin cream adds a nice flavor. There have been complaints that the drink is very sweet and it is not something you would want to drink very often. In the end, many people are fans of Starbucks’ fall drinks, and agree that the fall season is not complete without enjoying one of these drinks.

It seems Trader Joe’s foods are getting a lot of attention because they’re so unique and healthy. Trader Joe’s is known for adding foods to any season or holiday throughout the year by always coming up with unique items. Fall is no exception. It might be Trader Joe’s most played-up season.

Target’s Fall Foods
Target is the place many of us go for our fall and Halloween decorations but it is also one of the many stores that jump on the fall food bandwagon. Good & Gather, Target’s in-house brand, is responsible for many fall food releases this year. They have Apple Cider, Pumpkin spice cookies, and Glazed Maple doughnuts, as well as other items to be sold during the fall season. Looking at Target’s website, you can see so many fall-flavored foods and fall kitchen decorations. There is a whole section of their website dedicated to fall food which has been broken down into categories like “snacks, bakery & desserts, beverages, and breakfast.” When you go to the “snacks” page you will see Good & Gather has turned any snack you could think of into a fall version of itself. Some of the most notable items are:
- Harvest Trail Mix
- Pumpkin spice Kettle Corn
- Pumpkin Pretzels
- Pumpkin Gummies

To summarize, fall in the stores reminds us of cold weather, fireplaces, Thanksgiving, soon followed by Christmas. It is no wonder that we all look forward to the fall foods that signal the arrival of this special time of year.
