News: McDonald's - 2012 Fall/Winter Holiday Line Up

McDonald's has quite a line up of holiday-themed desserts this year, but participation seems to vary a bit. For example, I've never seen pumpkin-anything here in the Los Angeles area, but I know they have/had the Baked Pumpkin Pie up in central California.

I've grouped the items from what I've been able to piece together. If you want to comment below if you've seen these items in your area, I'll update accordingly.

Test Market

Pumpkin Spice Latte - it looks like McDonald's recently ended a test of a Pumpkin Spice Latte out in Alabama. I guess they're testing it out for a possible nationwide release next year as they seek to compete for pumpkin coffee supremacy with Starbucks and Dunkin'. If you're out that way and have a craving, better get it while you can.
