Spiced with the brand's signature blend of [autumnal flavorings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-collection), the cookie straws consist of straw-shaped wafers that are lined with white chocolate that will melt as hot drinks are drawn through them. This will make for a decadent dessert to enjoy as the drink is consumed and could also be used as a plastic straw alternative for those looking to avoid the wasteful drinking aids. The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Cookie Straws will come in packs of 20 and have been announced alongside [new flavored K-Cup coffee pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-faves-advent-calendar).
