Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte date keeps getting earlier. When might it come back for 2025?
Still, thoughts of the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte start early in the year for hardcore Starbucks PSL fans.
The drink was first introduced to Starbucks customers in 2003, according to the company, and has since become an iconic part of fall for many coffee drinkers. For the last 20 years, customers have eagerly awaited the return of the drink to Starbucks menus across the country, which usually happens at the end of August.
While Starbucks has not officially announced the 2025 return date, USA TODAY looked back at when the drink became available in years past to see if we could make a guess.
Here's an early look at when Starbucks' PSL might arrive this year.
Here's when Starbucks has launched its fall menu, which includes the PSL, over the past seven years:
Based on the trends above, the two most likely dates the Pumpkin Spice Latte will be available in 2025 are either Thursday, Aug. 21 or Tuesday, Aug. 26.
The PSL is made with espresso and steamed milk with real pumpkin flavor, plus cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. The whipped cream topping also has pumpkin pie spices, the company says. You can order it hot, cold or blended.
A typical Grande (16-ounce) PSL made with 2% milk, two espresso shots, milk foam and whipped cream has about 390 calories, 150 mg of caffeine and 14 grams of total fat.

Despite being somewhat of a melancholic affair, the wedding of the century went off without a hitch in Season 3 of "The Gilded Age". Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga) married the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb) much to her mother's delight, who ignored her daughter's wishes, and the newlyweds immediately set sail for England. Jack (Ben Ahlers) meanwhile, becomes almost as rich as his employers after Weston (John Ellison Conlee) buys the design and the patent of his clock for almost $600,000 and Agnes (Christine Baranski) and Ada (Cynthia Nixon) continue to clash over Agnes' spending in addition to Agnes finding out about Ada's meetings with Madame Dashkova (Andrea Martin).

From "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes, HBO's lavish period drama returned for its third season on June 22 to record-high viewership. About 2.7 million U.S. viewers tuned in across platforms within the first three days of the season premiere, HBO said. In the new season, the old guard is losing its powerful grip following the Opera War, while the Russells "stand poised to take their place at the head of society," according to the season synopsis. "Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry — if it doesn't ruin him first," the synopsis says, adding "across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada's new position as lady of the house." "As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear," it concludes.

Videos show Katy Perry's mid-air prop malfunction at San Francisco concert
Katy Perry was clinging to a butterfly prop during her Lifetimes Tour concert on July 18 in San Francisco. In multiple fan videos, Perry nearly falls above the audience at the Chase Center as the prop malfunctions while she is in the air. While singing her 2013 hit song "Roar," the 13-time Grammy nominee was riding on the prop when it titled and dropped, seemingly causing her to lose her balance. USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Perry for comment. In the clip, Perry looks back up at the prop's wires and down at the audience before continuing to sing "Roar," crooning "and you're gonna hear me roar, louder than a lion." Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry breakup: Couple to focus on co-parenting daughter Daisy With her signature humor, the "Last Friday Night" hitmaker Perry jokingly took to her Instagram Stories with a blurred, zoomed in picture of her reaction to the viral moment, captioning the post "Good Night San Fran." High-flying, mid-air performances were popularized by Perry's fellow popstar Pink. The Perry malfunction comes weeks after a Beyoncé concert June 28 when the Cowboy Carter creator sang her hit single "16 Carriages" while soaring in a red car when a technical glitch caused the vehicle to tilt midair. She briefly paused the show telling everyone to "stop" repeatedly, before being safely lowered and landing the car among the audience. There were no injuries. Shortly after, Beyoncé returned to the stage cool, calm and collected. She joked, "if I ever fall, I know y'all will catch me," before carrying on with the show. It's been a busy, rollercoaster year for the "California Girls" singer. Perry recently wrapped a four-show stint in Adelaide, Australia, which capped nearly four weeks of performing in the island country, as she ended her concert emotionally following a highly publicized split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom. "Thank you for always being there for me, Australia; it means the world," a teary-eyed Perry told the crowd as her 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove's vocals on her "143" album-closing track "Wonder" rang out in the arena. She shook off the emotion and said, "Now let's sing 'Firework!'" The A-list actor and Perry confirmed their split in a July 3 statement to USA TODAY via their representatives.

'I Know What You Did Last Summer' killer wanted shocking twist to 'break hearts'
Spoiler alert! We're discussing the major reveal at the end of the new "I Know What You Did Last Summer." If you haven't seen the movie yet and don't want to know the twist, stop reading now. Say it ain't so, Ray! The new "I Know What You Did Last Summer" sequel (in theaters now) concludes with one of the most shocking twists in recent horror movies: Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.), a core survivor from the original two films, is now the killer. At least, one of them. The other killer is Stevie Ward (Sarah Pidgeon), who was with her friends when they accidentally caused a car accident and covered up their involvement − a situation quite similar to what Ray and his friends went through in 1997. Stevie later discovers the victim of the accident was someone she knew: Sam Cooper, who she became close with after going to rehab. Sam was coming to check on her the night of the accident to make sure she hadn't relapsed. So Stevie sets out to avenge Sam's death and teams up with Ray, her boss and mentor, who uses the 1997 murders as a playbook. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Prinze tells USA TODAY that when he first heard the idea of turning Ray into a killer, he "definitely had a big question, which is, 'Why? What has to happen to make someone go down that road?' " But after a discussion with director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson about how Ray's trauma would have led him to this dark place, he was on board. Who's the killer in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'? "Ray is dealing with these feelings of abandonment," Robinson explains. "He is dealing with all this anger. He is dealing with something that he has totally buried and repressed. When this surrogate daughter comes to him and tells him what has happened, which mirrors everything that started sending his life down this path, it triggers something in him and causes this break." Prinze sees Ray as a "broken man," who has spent more than 20 years running from his trauma. "When he sees what happens to this young girl, and the similarities that they went through, everything comes back to him being this 21-year old boy," he says. "Now, his response isn't going to be to run away anymore. It's going to be to fight, because running hasn't gotten him anything." For Ray, "this is about revenge," Prinze adds, noting that he truly believes he's "setting things right the way they should be." But it was important to Prinze that he not come across like a stereotypical villain. "I wanted people to feel sorry for him in a weird way when they see his reason why," he says. "I didn't want it to come off like a James Bond villain speech. I was looking for something more nuanced, and I wanted people to be like, 'No, not you!' I wanted it to break people's hearts." In Robinson's mind, Ray wasn't the kind of person who was capable of this in the first two movies. "I don't think that this break would have ever happened had it not been for his connection to Stevie," she says. At the same time, there are seeds of what was to come in the 1997 film, in which Ray was falsely suspected of being the killer. "This person has been pushed around and pushed aside and told that he was a certain thing," Robinson says. "It's kind of the Harvey Dent thing (from 'The Dark Knight'). You die the hero, or you live long enough to become the villain." 'IKWYDLS' ending aims to leave fans heartbroken Chase Sui Wonders, whose character Ava is targeted by Ray at the end of the movie, remembers that when she read the reveal, "I threw (the script) across my room. It was so shocking." Jennifer Love Hewitt was similarly surprised, but feels the twist fits well with the first two films. "If you go back and you watch the movies, he always was angry about who he was in that town, and who he was going to be and how he was going to be able to grow past it all," she says. "I do think, ultimately, it makes sense when you think about it. But I am so curious to see what the audience is going to say." Prinze says he's "really proud" of his performance and happy with the direction for the character. But he acknowledges the twist is a "big swing" that may prove divisive. "I know some fans are going to be like, 'You took Ray away from us, and that's not fair,' and I get it," he says. "There's going to be other fans that think it's awesome, and I get that. I appreciate both sides. But both sides need to know that I gave everything to that performance that I know how to give, and I committed 100%. I loved what they did with the character, or I wouldn't have done it." And despite's Ray death, Prinze isn't ready to say this is the end for him in the franchise. "As far as saying goodbye," he says, "you never freaking know in a horror movie."
