Festive Fall Specials

BY: Allison Stewart

Fall knocks at our door when the leaves change, sweaters emerge, and football is on every television. 

Oh, and do not forget the fuzzy socks.

Fall does not only change the weather and our clothes, though. Many restaurants get into the spirit by offering fall specials. This is the only time of the year they are offered, so you need to try as many of these items before they are gone.

Starbucks surely increases their sales during this season as pumpkin flavors take over the menu. This season’s offers include: Caramel Apple Spice, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Spice Latte Frappuccino and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. Something you may not know is you can ask to add pumpkin syrup in any of your favorite beverages. Check out your local Starbucks today to see what it is all about.

Another place adding the autumn cravings is Panera. Some of their seasonal offers include: Pumpkin Muffin, Cranberry Walnut Bagel, Vegetarian Autumn Squash Soup, Cinnamon Spice Cold Brew and Cinnamon Spice Latte. Panera has always been known for their endless options, and this time of the year offers just that. 

Chick-fil-A of course joins the festive flavors. They recently released their seasonal Chicken Tortilla Soup, Frosted Caramel Coffee and Mac & Cheese. These are sure to satisfy your cravings on a chilly day. Also, any of these items can replace your traditional side or beverage in a classic combo. With these tasty items continuing to gain attention, the cows might end up saying “Eat Mor Mac.”

A few places you might not expect to have a special are Arby’s and IHOP. For a limited time at Arby’s, you can try their Cinnamuffin and S’mores Shake. IHOP is all about Halloween with their promotional Addams Family Menu. They have Wednesday’s Web-Cakes, Morticia’s Haunted Hot Chocolate, Uncle Fester’s Chocolate Ice Scream Shake and Gomez’s Green Chile Omelet. The whole family is sure to enjoy a meal here. 

No matter where you go, fall is sure to follow. Any of these items will complement a trip to the pumpkin patch or haunted house. Make sure you do not miss out on all of these great offers! Your taste buds will thank you.
