With September approaching, it’s a signal for the vibrant autumn leaves, the kickoff of football season, and for Starbucks enthusiasts, the reappearance of pumpkin spice drinks.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte, or “PSL” as many affectionately call it, made its debut on Starbucks’ menus in 2003 and has since become a beloved symbol of fall for countless coffee lovers. As we near the end of August, many dedicated PSL aficionados are eager to find out when the drink will be available again in 2024.

In recent days, Starbucks has been dropping hints about its upcoming 2024 fall menu, which features the Pumpkin Spice Latte, through social media teasers. The company has shared several short videos on Instagram, showcasing fall-themed images like leaves and candy corn.

On Tuesday, a video was posted showing a light blue phone and a red drink morphing into a pumpkin-shaped phone and a white cup after someone lights a candle, perhaps indicating a transition from the summer menu to the autumn one. The caption read, “Pick up, pumpkin.”

When will the Pumpkin Spice Latte return to Starbucks in 2024?

Here are the launch dates for Starbucks’ fall menu over the past few years:

• 2023: Thursday, August 24
• 2022: Tuesday, August 30
• 2021: Tuesday, August 24
• 2020: Tuesday, August 25
• 2019: Tuesday, August 27
• 2018: Tuesday, August 28

Given these past trends, the most likely dates for the availability of the Pumpkin Spice Latte in 2024 are either Thursday, Aug. 22 or Tuesday, Aug. 27.

A Starbucks employee in Virginia mentioned to YSL News earlier this month that the fall menu is anticipated to launch on Aug. 22, and other sources have hinted at the same date.

What ingredients are in the Pumpkin Spice Latte?

The “PSL” consists of espresso and steamed milk combined with genuine pumpkin flavor, alongside spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. The whipped cream topping is also sprinkled with pumpkin pie spices, according to the brand. It can be ordered hot, cold, or blended.
