ASSOCIATED PRESS – Want a little autumn in your August? You’re in luck.

Starbucks said Monday that its Pumpkin Spice Latte will return to store menus in the U.S. and Canada on Aug. 26. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is Starbucks’ most popular seasonal beverage, with hundreds of millions sold since its launch in 2003.

It’s also produced a host of imitations; Dunkin’ introduced pumpkin-flavored drinks in 2007, while McDonald’s brought them to its menu in 2013. The latte is a reliable booster of traffic to stores.

According to Placer.ai, Starbucks’ U.S. store traffic rose 24% last year on Aug. 22, when the PSL went on sale.
