In an effort to take advantage of the fall season's most popular flavor in North America, [Disneyland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-nostalgic-desserts) will now be offering pumpkin churros at the [Disney California Adventure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-dole-whip) park in Anaheim.

The churros function as the perfect addition to the park's autumn and Halloween themes this season, offering an item that is both flavorful and Instagram-friendly, and that both children and adults can enjoy. The churros feature their standard shape, are flavored with pumpkin, and are dipped in both sugar and edible glitter for a unique, sparkling effect. The park also offers a 'Halloween' churro, which has a mystery flavor and features purple and black glitter and sugar crystals.

The Halloween and pumpkin churros can be found at Disneyland's [Cozy Cone Motel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yogi-teas).
