The air is getting crisp, the leaves are turning orange, and the flavor of pumpkin spice is filling the shelves of every market. Now that pumpkin spice season is here, it’s time for us to find out what are the most wow. Included some pumpkin products people are obsessing over, available online or in a store near you! Would you try any of these?

Why is everyone obsessed with pumpkin spice-flavored things?

The first sign of autumn approaching is when you start to hear about pumpkin spice products returning. Pumpkin spice is not only the most delicious and popular flavor of fall, but it also has a cult following that rivals any other food trend out there.

The reason why everyone loves pumpkin spice so much is that it reminds them of the cozy fall days and all the good things that come with it. It makes them happy and satisfied after every sip or bite. It’s a marker that the holidays are going to be right around the corner, and that fills them with nostalgia and joy.

Pumpkin pie, being a traditional dessert for Thanksgiving in the U.S., is associated with this time of year. It’s no coincidence that pumpkin spice-flavored products are at their peak during the fall season. Coffee, cereal, ice cream, yogurt, donuts, cookies: it seems like everywhere you look there’s something with a hint of pumpkin flavor to it. Pumpkin spice is so popular because we can’t get enough of its perfect mix of flavors: spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Pair it with a product you already like (such as a latte or breakfast cereal).

Included some of the best pumpkin spice products that are already available or will be coming out soon.
