Elmhurst 1925, maker of the world’s finest plant-based dairy products, announces the return of its seasonal collection of fan-favorite products: Apple Pie Spice Blend, Pumpkin Spice Oat Creamer and OatNog. These limited-edition flavors are now available for purchase as shoppers gear up for the holiday season.
Elmhurst 1925’s Apple Pie Spice Blend starts with a creamy oat-cashew base infused with notes of baked apple and flaky pie crust. Barista-approved for crafting the perfect plant-based latte, Apple Pie Spice performs beautifully in hot or iced coffee, and even shines in hot applications like baking. Another fall must-have, Elmhurst’s Pumpkin Spice Oat Creamer, is a simple dairy-free option for adding a touch of cozy sweetness to coffee or tea, with just 1 gram of sugar and 15 calories per serving. And for the winter season, Elmhurst is reintroducing a festive favorite – OatNog! This vegan twist on the holiday classic is crafted with the simplest ingredients and can be sipped on its own, frothed into coffee or hot chocolate, or even spiked with your choice of liquor for holiday cocktails. True to Elmhurst’s clean-label promise, these seasonal treats are made without added gums, oils, or emulsifiers. Available for a limited time, they’ll be on shelves alongside Elmhurst’s core lines of Plant Milks and Creamers.
“Year after year, our customers eagerly await the return of these popular, limited-edition flavors, which made it an easy decision to offer them once again,” said Heba Mahmoud Senior Director of Brand Innovation at Elmhurst. “Fall and winter are a time to indulge in our favorite seasonal treats, and we wanted plant-based consumers to be able to partake without sacrificing flavor or texture. These better-for-you, clean-label alternatives to classic holiday flavors enable everyone to savor the season without the usual sugary syrups, gums or oils found in other seasonal offerings.”
Last year, 46% of consumers purchased fall-flavored food and beverage products and that number is continuing to rise, with more and more companies creating fall flavored products. As consumers prioritize exceptionally made, clean-label products, the brand’s seasonal flavor offerings are perfect for indulging without any sugar-coated guilt.
With roots as a former dairy, Elmhurst’s standards are high when it comes to how plant-based beverages should taste. This is why the brand has expertly selected the simplest ingredients to get these fan-favorite flavors just right, so dairy-free drinkers don’t miss out on any of the fun this season.

Like all Elmhurst products, the seasonal collection is Non-GMO Product Verified, gluten-free, dairy-free, OU Kosher, vegan, and crafted through the company’s unique HydroRelease™ method. Using just water, this process separates the nutritional components of a nut, grain or seed before reassembling them as a creamy plant milk, maintaining the full nutrition of the source ingredient without added gums or emulsifiers. HydroRelease™ upcycles any waste into energy and is powered by 100% renewable Hydroelectric Power to drive sustainability every step of the way.
As a part of Elmhurst’s ongoing recycling program, currently saving approximately 10,000 mature trees annually, all cartons are 100% recyclable and made from FSC-certified paperboard. The brand transitioned from plastic to paper-based shipping materials for direct-to-consumer orders and uses primarily PCR materials for molded fiberboard trays and scrap corrugate as protective filler.

Elmhurst 1925 makes simple, nutritious, and incredibly delicious plant-based dairy products. Elmhurst was founded in 2017, but the company’s roots date back to 1925. Originally Elmhurst Dairy, the multigenerational, family-run organization operated for almost a century under Max Schwartz and son Henry. After a meeting with plant nutrition pioneer, Dr. Cheryl Mitchell, Henry made a progressive pivot and decided to close his famous dairy plant and found Elmhurst Milked. All Elmhurst plant milks are created through a unique HydroRelease™ method, which uses water to harness the full nutritional content of raw nuts, grains, and seeds. Nutrients are separated and recombined naturally to form a smooth, creamy beverage without the use of added gums or stabilizers. All Elmhurst varieties have six ingredients or less, no added gums or emulsifiers, and up to four times as many nuts as other leading brands.
