The seasonal menu is the part of the board that changes. Four rotations a year — winter, spring, summer and fall — each bringing a handful of drinks that run for a few weeks and then disappear. Some come back every year (Candy Cane Mocha, Pumpkin), others appear once and never return.

When each season runs
Seasonal drinks are limited-time only, and every rotation has its own window. These are the typical dates — individual shops sell out early, and nothing is guaranteed past the last day.
| Season | Typical availability |
|---|---|
| Winter & Holiday | Early November through late December or early January |
| Spring | February – April |
| Summer | May – August |
| Fall | September – November |
Seasonal drink calories
Seasonal drinks swing wider than the standard menu because of what gets added on top. Cream bases, freezes and Soft Top push a drink up fast; fruit-forward Rebels and lemonades stay light. Typical ranges:
| Drink type | Typical calorie range |
|---|---|
| Creamy seasonal mochas & lattes | 300–550 calories |
| Seasonal drinks with Soft Top | 320–600+ calories |
| Rebel energy seasonal drinks | 200–350 calories |
| Fruit & lemonade seasonal drinks | 180–300 calories |
| Iced or frozen blended drinks | 250–450 calories |

Past seasonal menus (2022–2024)
How the rotation has shifted over the last few years. Useful for spotting which flavours are perennial and which were one-offs.
2022
| Season | Seasonal drinks |
|---|---|
| Spring | Strawberry Rebel, Peach Rebel, Iced Fruit Lemonades |
| Summer | Tropical Rebels, Blended Lemonades, Iced Coffee Specials |
| Fall | Pumpkin-inspired Lattes, Caramel Mocha Variations |
| Winter | Peppermint Mocha, Holiday Cream Drinks, Winter Espresso Specials |
2023
| Season | Seasonal drinks |
|---|---|
| Spring | Strawberry & Citrus Rebels, Fruity Lemonades |
| Summer | Tropical Rebels, Frozen Coffee Drinks |
| Fall | Spiced Mocha Drinks, Dessert-Style Lattes |
| Winter | Peppermint Mocha, Winter Spice Drinks, Holiday Cookie Flavors |
2024
| Season | Seasonal drinks |
|---|---|
| Spring | Strawberry Banana Rebel, Fruity Energy Drinks |
| Summer | Iced Rebels, Lemonade Based Seasonal Drinks |
| Fall | Pumpkin Spice Drinks, Spiced Dessert Lattes |
| Winter | Peppermint Mocha, Hazelnut Holiday Drinks, Cozy Winter Lattes |
The pattern is consistent: peppermint mocha every winter, pumpkin every fall, fruit Rebels every spring and summer. If a flavour has run three years straight, it is very likely back next year.
