Pumpkin spice season has arrived early at 7-Eleven, bringing with it some bold new innovations.
On August 1, the convenience store chain unveiled its latest fall addition: the pumpkin spice Slurpee. This marks the first time 7-Eleven has offered a pumpkin spice-flavored Slurpee.
However, there’s a catch. The new Slurpee flavor is available exclusively at just five select stores across the country. These locations include Irving, Texas (3200 Hackberry Rd.); Los Angeles, California (5530 Valley Blvd. and 2030 A West 8th St.); New York City (82 Greenwich St.); and Enon, Ohio (90 N Xenia Dr.). The pumpkin spice Slurpee will be available for a limited time only, while supplies last.
According to a press release, the new Slurpee features a blend of pumpkin and cinnamon flavors swirled together in a refreshing icy drink.
In addition to the exclusive Slurpee, 7-Eleven, along with its Stripes and Speedway brands, is introducing a range of other pumpkin-flavored beverages. These include the pumpkin cream cold brew, pumpkin spice coffee, and pumpkin spice latte.
The pumpkin cream cold brew combines a rich cold brew blend with the sweet and creamy taste of pumpkin pie spices. The pumpkin spice coffee offers a traditional fall flavor, featuring comforting spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The pumpkin spice latte brings together pumpkin flavors in a creamy drink.
7-Eleven isn’t the only brand embracing the pumpkin trend early this year. Hershey’s launched Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins on July 23, marking their earliest release ever. Although not yet available in grocery stores, these limited-edition treats can be purchased on the Hershey’s website while supplies last.

International Delight is also preparing for the winter season with new holiday-themed products. The brand has introduced a line of Home Alone-themed creamers and coffees, including peppermint mocha, frosted sugar cookie, and a sugar-free version of the peppermint mocha creamer. Additionally, there is a new hot chocolate marshmallow creamer and a ready-to-drink peppermint mocha iced coffee.
With these seasonal offerings, it seems the cozy fall and winter flavors are arriving sooner than ever.
