Pumpkin Spice Seasonality

If it feels like pumpkin spice season creeps up earlier every year, you're not imagining it. In 2024, the seasonal peak for orders containing pumpkin spice items occurred on September 17, a full 10 days earlier than in 2023. But this early surge came with a faster cooldown, with demand taking a dip by the end of the month. There's also a reliable second spike in late November, likely driven by Thanksgiving's fondness for all things squash and spice.
