The 26 Best Pumpkin Spice Products In 2023

It's the most wonderful time of the year for lovers of fall's favorite flavor. That's right, pumpkin spice season is back in full force, delivering that warm, familiar taste sensation to sweet and savory treats lining grocery store shelves from coast to coast.

Our love of the spicy fall blend is hardly new. Pumpkin pie spice mix as we know it today was allegedly invented by McCormick in 1934 as a way to quickly infuse holiday pies with a blast of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, though the recorded use of the blend dates back as early as the 17th century. The unique fall flavor's enduring popularity can be attributed largely to the introduction of Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte in 2003 and the ensuing autumnal arms race that followed. Twenty years of seasonal marketing has done a number on the American psyche — in 2022 alone, Americans spent more than $236 million on edible pumpkin spice products (not including household items like candles and dog shampoo), according to The Guardian.

With so many pumpkin spice foods and drinks out there, how do you know which products to procure for maximum pumpkin flavor? Check out the list below for some of the top picks of the patch.

A dash of sea salt keeps this concoction from turning too saccharine. It's a feat not to finish the whole box, though you may want to save those cookies as long as you can — Trader Joe's seasonal items are known to sell out quickly.
