The holiday season is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than trying out some new winter menu items? This season brings a myriad of food and beverage options for those relishing in the festive season to try out, and that includes nostalgic fall and winter-themed flavors.
For example, Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte has long been a fall go-to, and by the time Thanksgiving rolls around, it's turkey galore! That means more turkey burgers- deep-fried or otherwise- and by the time it starts snowing, hot cocoa is a must.
