College football has been canceled. But another fall classic is returning – earlier than ever.

Because yes, if there ever was a year when we needed a soothing pumpkin-spiced latte, 2020 is it.

Dunkin’ announced last week that its pumpkin menu of drinks and bakery items will return Wednesday. Making their debut will be a new Signature Pumpkin Spice Latte – the base is now pumpkin-vanilla instead of pumpkin-cinnamon – and a new spicy but non-pumpkiny Chai Latte.

Those drinks will join the lineup of pumpkin-flavored brewed coffee, doughnuts, muffins and doughnut holes. The Maple Sugar Bacon Breakfast Sandwich also is making a seasonal comeback.

Dunkin’s lattes and coffee drinks are all available iced, and the cold brew is available with a pumpkin flavor swirl.
