The flavors of fall and winter often include apples, hot chocolate, peppermint, maple, nuts and gingerbread and let’s not forget pumpkin. Many popular restaurants cash in on our love of these sweet and savory tastes by adapting their menus to include some seasonal treats.
McDonald's has offerings from the McCafe and the popular Egg Nog Shakes and there is the pumpkin and salted caramel lineup at Dunkin Donuts, as well as the the infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks, but there are more exciting seasonal treat options out there if you know where to look.
Most of these items are available only through the New Year, but some may be found year round.
