Might as well make it year round. Hell, vanilla was considered the fanciest of fancy rare spices, and now it's in everything.
Biggest problem i have with "seasonal" food, is the absolutely infuriating amount of food wasted just because the box/product needs to be swapped for the version that has hearts and bunnies on it.

Your marketers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

I don't think I've tried any pumpkin spice food or drink (they aren't that common here), but I definitely want christmas sweets like gingerbread and spiced cookies available year-round - why eat cookies that are flavored with just butter, vanilla or chocolate, when you could have cookies with spices?

So what, if people enjoy having those, let them.

The auto shop in my hometown had a sign that said “pumpkin spice oil change”
I appreciate the humor of the random mechanic that thought that was a hoot

They’ve never once considered if they should. Heck, Adam Smith said so himself:

Oh, I never thought of that... is the cinnamon/ginger/clove mix associated with autumn or Christmas there? I remember reading a book, I want to say Little House on the Prairie, when I was a kid where some kids were really excited that their mom brought them some cold, refreshing eggnog as a summer time treat while working in the field. I found that very strange.

No, it's not really a thing here at all.

It should just be sold all year round anyway. The hell I have to wait until October/September for things to taste like pumpkin pie? It doesn't ever actually have pumpkin in it, so it's not because of a growing season.

Oh, that makes sense. Do you have any seasonal spice combos?

Saw Halloween costume put up for sale, in mid-July. At this point, expecting frozen Turkeys to show up soon.

Vanilla, actual vanilla, is a pain in the ass to make, and almost all of the world's actual vanilla ends up in ice cream. We can synthesize the same chemicals out of, among other things, wood pulp and beaver secretions, which is why it's easier to make things vanilla flavored now.
