Summer’s just begun… but let’s be honest—Fall 2025 will be here before we know it.

Fall is often hailed as the ultimate season for all things apple cider. The crisp air, colorful leaves, and overall cozy atmosphere make it the perfect time to enjoy this spiced, comforting drink. But for me—and plenty of others—apple cider isn’t just a fall favorite. It’s a year-round delight. Whether sipped cold on a hot summer day or served warm in the middle of winter, cider always hits the spot. And let’s not forget about donuts. Whether you’re dipping them in cider or eating them solo, they’re a classic indulgence that never goes out of season.
