What is the superior winter seasonal flavor?
- Thread starter Ottaro
- Start date
Gingerbread and it's not even close.
Halo Top has a seasonal Gingerbread House pint that I would probably fight someone over if it's the last one on the shelf. It is THAT good

Pumpkin Spice is fall / autumn / thanksgiving timeline. Like I'd say Oct 1 - Nov 28.
At which point Gingerbread or Peppermint takes over for the month of Dec up until, let's say, January 1.
And then it's just the misery index from Jan to like March.
I voted gingerbread in the poll. I don't really like mint flavored things, save for mint cookies or mint choco chip ice cream. But, like I don't like peppermint flavored coffee drinks. Of those things, I fucking *love* eggnog, but eggnog "flavored" drinks are never close to tasting like eggnog. The eggnog lattes or eggnog flavored coffee drinks, I dunno, taste nothing like eggnog and I fucken love Hood's Golden Eggnog.

Eggnog.
The best parts of pumpkin spice mixed with a rich, eggy goodness. There are some fantastic egg nog ice creams out there and it goes well with coffee too (even if it's insanely rich).
Peppermint and gingerbread are fine, but peppermint seems to turn up in awful candy cane flavoured products. Whoever thought up candy cane ice cream with chunks of broken candy canes is an asshole.

I picked Eggnog because I feel like it only exists for November and December at retail.
Gingerbread and Peppermint can generally be found year-round.
Pumpkin spice and cinnamon are more of a fall flavor to me.

i got a thing of 2020 goose island just sitting on the shelf. never have been able to do that before lol
InBev is struggling to sell it. BCBS has languished on the shelves out here in Seattle for years now, too many better local options like Fremont, Holy Mountain, etc.
Tough one. Cinnamon is damn good, but Pumpkin Spice contains cinnamon and cloves and nutmeg, and those three together are really the "Christmas flavor" in my mind.
I voted pumpkin spice because I like to have pumpkin pie during Christmas too. But egg nog is a close second.
I feel like I've seen Butterscotch starting to pick up traction as the January flavor in recent years among Starbucks and other coffee shops.
Feb tends to have some chocolate/cherry to tie in with Valentines and maybe Irish Cream or mint (not peppermint) for March, as in Shamrock Shake etc?
back in my drinking days I would look forward with relish to the new sierra nevada christmas ale drop. hops taste like christmas tree
i usually would go for founder's but... yeeesh. the ownership
Every year I love seeing all the people talk about the holiday spices in Celebration. It's just an IPA.
I just want to congratulate OP on creating a perfectly cascading poll.
Edit: Seconds later, cinnamon RUINED it.

Yeah I wonder why they didn't bring that back this year, I remember liking it.
No clue and even when I've talked to the baristas, they have no idea why it hasn't been brought back either.
Their Irish cream cold brew is a nice addition to the seasonal menu but doesn't compare at all to the gingerbread latte.
Pumpkin Spice is fucking nasty y'all are nuts.
Like, it's such a gross flavour. Like eating/drinking a shitty candle from Michaels.
