What day does Starbucks release fall flavors?
Starbucks usually releases its fall flavors menu, which includes the Pumpkin Spice Latte, in late August. Going back to 2018, we can see that the menu has always been released on a Tuesday, except last year when it was released on a Thursday. Recent release dates include Thursday, August 24 in 2023; Tuesday, August 30 in 2022; Tuesday, August 24 in 2021, Tuesday, August 25 in 2020; Tuesday, August 27 in 2019 and Tuesday, August 28 in 2018.
Given the trend, this year’s menu could drop on Thursday, August 22 or Tuesday, August 27. Food blogger Markie Devo, who seems to have the direct inside scoop, points to August 22 in an Instagram post. Additional fall menu items are expected to be released later in August and September.
