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.
In this list, we're taking a look at eight holiday offerings that have already hit the menus or are about to.
From Dunkin' Donuts to Subway, here are eight holiday offerings to look out for
1) Holiday Footlong Cookie (Subway)
International fast-food chain Subway, renowned for its cookies, is bringing a footlong version this holiday season, akin to its footlong sandwiches.
This cookie comprises a double chocolate cookie dough, both white and chocolate chips, and a hint of peppermint extract to pack in that wintery goodness. Plus, it comes topped with red and white candy cane chunks as an added treat.
2) Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler (Arby's)
Arby's is kicking things up a notch this Thanksgiving with its Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler sandwich. It packs deep-fried turkey breast, crispy onions, Swiss cheese, herb spread, lettuce, and tomato, all of which nestle between two warm brioche buns. Notably, this isn't the only Thanksgiving-related meal the chain is offering this year, as fans can also keep an eye out for the Deep Fried Turkey Club.
3) Dulce de Leche Frappe' (McDonald's)
Legendary international food chain McDonald's is leaning into the fall season with its latest creation, the dulce de leche frappe. This tall glass of sugary goodness features the brand's caramel frappe base, some coffee, and some dulce de leche syrup. The whipped cream and caramel chunk topping are just right to add a kick of some extra sweetness.
4) Candy Cane Crunch Shake (Five Guys)
This one is for the Christmas season, as the establishment's Candy Cane Crunch Shake features just what the name suggests: a milkshake made with real candy cane pieces. It serves as the perfect addition to give the milkshake come crunchy texture, and the peppermint flavor is a quintessential holiday element.
5) Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai (Starbucks)
This drink features chai spices, a nod to Indian culture, along with some creamy oat milk. It comes topped with even more oat milk, frothed, and infused with some gingerbread-flavored syrup. The tall glass features a dusting of spice to pack in the quintessential fall season, raking in the warm, cozy vibe that only comes around this time of the year.
6) Peppermint Mocha (Starbucks)
Yet another one of the brand's seasonal offerings, the title gives it away. This drink makes an annual appearance around this time of the year, and it comes in hot or iced versions. It features a concoction of peppermint syrup, mocha sauce, and milk of choice, along with a shot of espresso. It typically comes with a topping of whipped cream and some chocolate shavings.
7) Holiday Cookie Signature Latte (Dunkin' Donuts)
The brand announced its latest arrival just last weeknight, the Holiday Cookie Signature Latte, and it comes hot or iced. It features rich espresso blended with whole milk, as well as notes of buttery cookie and toasted almond. It comes topped with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel, and some cookie butter crumbles.
8) Cookie Butter Cold Brew (Dunkin' Donuts)
One of the brand's seasonal favorites, the Cookie Butter Cold Brew is making its return for the third year in a row, having garnered rave reviews in the past. It features a concoction of ultra-smooth cold brew and notes of brown-sugar cookie, all of which are topped with a sprinkling of cookie butter crumbles. According to the brand, this pairs best with the Cookie Butter Donut.
