While pumpkin spice everything has been available since early September, I'm so over that flavor. Once Halloween passes, I switch gears and focus solely on peppermint and sugar cookies. Thankfully, I'm not alone in this about-face."
"Chick-fil-A has several limited-time drinks available on its docket for the holiday season. Each is a peppermint twist on some classics, and after tasting two of them, I can tell you that one is definitely better than the other - and the Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee is not that one. Consequently, this fast food holiday drink comes in last. Now, I'm a huge coffee person."
"I went to all my favorites - including Coffee Bean, Dunkin', Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks (of course) - and tasted everything from peppermint shakes and sugar cookie coffees to that flavor of moment Dubai chocolate and tiramisu. And don't worry if you're a pumpkin spice fan, as those drinks are still available at some locations (we're looking at you, Starbucks)."
