Starbucks said Wednesday that the signature drink would return to the fall menu on Thursday, marking its 20th anniversary.
The perennial Starbucks favorite has become a reliable hit, making it an autumn mainstay that has given the coffee chain a seasonal sales boost during this time of year, over the past two decades.
In 2020, Starbucks said the pumpkin drinks were the “catalyst” for a record-breaking quarterly performance in the three months ending September 27, 2020.
