Shopping

It may still feel like summer around Tomball and Magnolia, but inside local H-E-B stores, fall has already arrived.

Available now for a limited time, H-E-B has rolled out hundreds of fall-inspired H-E-B brand products across every department, giving local shoppers plenty of ways to lean into the season even before cooler weather settles in. The collection stretches well beyond pumpkin spice, with seasonal foods, drinks, household products, décor, game-day favorites, Halloween candy and Texas-grown pumpkins all part of the mix.

Pumpkin spice is just the beginning

For coffee drinkers, Café Ole by H-E-B Pumpkin Spice Latte brings a rich and creamy seasonal option that can be served hot or over ice. H-E-B is also offering a medium-roast Café Ole by H-E-B Pumpkin Spice coffee blending flavors of nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon.

Those pair with several limited-edition breakfast items, including H-E-B Fully Cooked Maple Breakfast Sausage Rolls, Pumpkin Spice instant oatmeal and Pumpkin Spice waffles.

The seasonal lineup becomes a little more unexpected from there.

New H-E-B Creamy Creations Caramel Apple Sherbet combines sour candy pieces with a caramel swirl, while the H-E-B Cowboy Cookie mixes pecans, oats and brown butter. For shoppers already looking ahead to Thanksgiving flavors, H-E-B Cornbread Stuffing Potato Chips turn the familiar taste of stuffing into a crunchy snack.

H-E-B has also added seasonal flair to baking mixes, cookies, bagels, bread and granola. Even pets can get in on the fall theme with Heritage Ranch by H-E-B Baked Dog Snacks in pumpkin and apple cinnamon flavors.

Fall scents and Texas-grown pumpkins move beyond the grocery aisle

The seasonal changes continue throughout the store.

H-E-B Dish Soap, H-E-B Flavor Favorites candles and H-E-B Texas Tough trash bags are being offered with warm, inviting fall scents. H-E-B Paper Plates and Destination Holiday wall décor feature fall prints for entertaining, while pumpkin-print storage bags are available in both gallon and quart sizes for lunches, leftovers and seasonal gatherings.

And for households ready to decorate the front porch, stores are carrying a wide selection of H-E-B Texas Roots pumpkins grown in Texas.

Football season gets its own fall menu

Fall in Texas also means football, and H-E-B is leaning into game-day gatherings.

Shoppers can find party trays and Meal Simple by H-E-B Tex-Mex Queso with Brisket, along with grilling staples including H-E-B Prime 1 Cowboy Burgers and H-E-B Mi Tienda Beef Fajitas.

For Tomball and Magnolia families planning watch parties, backyard cookouts or Friday night football gatherings, the seasonal rollout puts many of those familiar game-day foods in one place.

Halloween treats are already creeping onto shelves

H-E-B says shoppers can expect more seasonal products throughout the coming months, and the next wave is already arriving.

The Once Upon a Treat by H-E-B Halloween collection includes Dark Chocolate Green Goo Truffles filled with ghoulish green caramel, Jack O'Lantern-shaped milk chocolates with caramel apple filling and the sweet-and-salty Haunted Candy Corn Maze Snack Mix.

There is also a Zombie-licious Gummy Mix featuring brain-, finger-, eyeball- and bone-shaped gummies, along with chocolate-dipped gummy bears, cotton candy treat packs and a porch-ready cauldron filled with spider gummy treat packs available only at H-E-B.

Destination Holiday Halloween and Día de los Muertos décor are also available in stores.

By November, H-E-B says stores will begin transitioning their product offerings again as the holiday season approaches. The retailer's limited-time products continue changing with the seasons, meaning shoppers can expect new seasonal items throughout the year.
