Fall is for pumpkin, apples and… taco salads.

Wendy’s has released three new fall-inspired menu items, all of which will be available starting November 12. Instead of the expected Thanksgiving-adjacent flavors, the fast food spot’s new items will come with some new flavors.

The limited-time Salted Caramel Frosty is described as providing “warm and cozy comfort with every cold bite,” according to a press release. The dessert will replace the vanilla Frosty when it arrives, a Wendy’s source confirmed to PEOPLE. Plus, according to the source, the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, the Spongebob square pants-inspired flavor introduced on October 8, will also get a boost when the salted caramel flavor is released.

The mushroom bacon cheeseburger is another fall menu item. The funghi-forward option piles roasted mushrooms, bacon, Muenster cheese and creamy garlic spread onto a meaty patty.

The last of the new fall additions is an improved taco salad. Wendy’s has sold the Mexican-inspired dish before, but this new version features a creamy salsa dressing, fire-roasted corn, tortilla strips and chili. The original version had chili, tortilla chips, sour cream and salsa.

Vanilla Frosty’s departure was I found out as soon as it appeared back on menus in mid-September. A Wendy’s spokesperson told PEOPLE at the time that “nothing on our menu is intended to last forever” and that they “do not have an exact date when the Vanilla Frosty will roll off menus.”

The original flavor was taken off the menu for the triple berry And orange dream image flavors available in spring and summer 2024. Before these fruity options, the vanilla Frosty was replaced by peppermint, pumpkin spice And strawberry Frostys.

The other departing Frosty, the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, was not a seasonal flavor, but was still current.

The tropical flavored treat was in honor of SpongeBob Squarepant25th anniversary and part of Wendy’s Krabby Patty Kollab that became available earlier this month.

The Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty is inspired by the iconic fruit-shaped house from the cartoon. This sweet choice combines Wendy’s beloved Vanilla Frosty with a hint of pineapple mango puree.

The limited-time menu also included a Krabby Patty Kollab Burger, which tops a beef patty, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion and a “top secret” Krabby Kollab sauce between a toasted bun, per press. edition.
