You really do learn something new every day. I consider myself pretty Halloween and fall savvy. This year I learned the hard-set rule that fanatics have for when celebrating the festivities can start. Apparently, as soon as July 5th comes around, it’s open season on spooky season! The more you know.

It turns out, food brands think the same way. We’re already finding pumpkin spice in stores. Not that we’re all that mad about the news. Just give us a heads up, ya know? It’s a real jump-scare when you’re walking back and forth through the aisles of the grocery store. Pacing around, trying to soak up the beautiful AC because the summer air outside is trying to fry every molecule of water from your body. Only to turn the corner and run face first into the pumpkin spice display. What a mix of emotions!
Nonetheless, pumpkin spice season has started. Which means we have to do our due diligence in trying to track down everything that’s in stores and gather it in one place. Here’s your quick guide to all the pumpkin spice products we’ve seen on shelves so far.
Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte Creamer
As previously alluded to, Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte Creamer was the first pumpkin spice product we found in stores all the way back in June. I guess someone didn’t get the July 5th memo. Though I commend Starbucks for starting things off mega early this year, their pumpkin spice latte creamer didn’t wow us enough in our taste test last year so we don’t have to stay here for very long.
Chobani Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
Our second favorite pumpkin spice creamer from Chobani is also out on shelves already. In fact, it’s even available at Sam’s Club so you can start your season off with a bulk purchase of the stuff! We loved this because you can actually taste the real dairy that they use as a base. It’s creamy, it’s dreamy, and it’s here to play.
Horizon Organic Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Real Dairy Creamer
Horizon Organic is bringing a new flavor out to play! Which is great news for me personally as a cinnamon roll fanatic. If you’re looking to kick your pumpkin spice lattes with a little unique twist, be sure to grab Horizon Organic’s pumpkin cinnamon roll creamer today!
La Colombe Pumpkin Spice Draft Latte
If you got excited at all the prospects of pumpkin spice coffee creamers available but don’t want to brew up your own cup of joe yourself, this one’s for you. La Colombe’s pumpkin spice draft latte combines espresso roast cold brew and creamy lactose-free whole milk. They blend in real pumpkin puree and warming spices to create a ready-to-drink flavored coffee straight out of the can.
Flipz Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Donut Covered Pretzels
There’s a lot to unpack here. Flipz and Dunkin’ are teaming up to make pumpkin spice donut covered pretzels. Instead of just being dusted with pumpkin spice, each pretzel has a glaze-like coating and a drizzle of pumpkin-flavored icing. They’ve slowly been spotted out in the wild and will surely only increase in availability as the season progresses.
Chobani Flip Pumpkin Harvest Crisp
It’s no secret that we flip out for Chobani Flips here at Sporked. Count is in for Chobani’s seasonal offering of pumpkin harvest crisp flip. Inside the two halves you’ll find oatmeal pastry pieces, creamy frosting chunks, and cinnamon frosted cookies on one side. On the other, Chobani pumpkin greek yogurt. Just asking to be tumbled together.
