Just when you thought Starbucks couldn't make its cult-fave Pumpkin Spice Latte any more enticing, the chain went and put its signature bevvy in the hands of Off Campus star Belmont Cameli.
To celebrate the August 25 return of the PSL, Starbucks dropped a promo commercial starring the widely beloved actor alongside another icon, Martha Stewart.
"It smells like my house in the fall," Martha gushes as she clutches her PSL, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice. "It's perfect." That's when Belmont appears on the screen with his own iced version. He shoots Martha a flirty glance and declares, "You would get it hot."
Her response? So Martha: "Should I know him?"
Naturally, fans are losing it over the on-screen exchange—and, well, Belmont Cameli in general. "DOES HE COUNT AS A TOPPING?" one fan wrote. "I feel like a dog hearing all my favorite words," another chimed in.

Katie Swan, Jacob Fearnley and Arthur Fery ensured there will be British representation in the Wimbledon singles second round - but 14 home players fell to opening-round defeats for the first time in 32 years.
The 10 defeats for British players on the opening day of their home Grand Slam was the most at SW19 since daily records began in 2000.
Further defeats for Katie Boulter, Jack Pinnington Jones, Billy Harris and debutant Harry Wendelken on Tuesday meant the total number of first-round losses for home players reached 14 for the first time since 1994.
But Swan, who considered retiring from tennis in 2024 because of a persistent back injury, avoided the same fate in her first Grand Slam appearance for three years as she became the first British player to progress this year with a 6-4 6-4 victory over Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu.
The 27-year-old threw herself to the ground as she celebrated the win - her first in the main draw of a major since she beat the same opponent at Wimbledon in 2018.

Not too long ago, Katie Swan thought her playing days might be over.
Once hailed as one of Britain's brightest young talents, her promising career was derailed by injuries, and she found herself outside the world's top 1,000.
But on Tuesday, Swan became the first British player to reach the second round at this year's Wimbledon with victory over Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu.
It represented a "full-circle moment" for the 27-year-old, who claimed her first Grand Slam main-draw win against the same opponent at Wimbledon in 2018.
Given a wildcard into this year's championships, Swan rewatched her previous win over Begu to prepare for her SW19 return after three years away from the All England Club.

After battling back from the brink of quitting tennis, Katie Swan became Britain's unlikely first winner of this year's Wimbledon after beating Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu to reach the second round.
After converting her fifth match point, the 27-year-old Swan fell to her knees and held her head in her hands while Court 16 erupted into cheers. After Katie Boulter added to the 10 British defeats on Monday, Swan, the world No 196, is the first player through to the second round.
A former Australian Open junior finalist, when she was just 15, Swan became the youngest player to represent Great Britain at the Billie Jean King Cup and was tipped for big things as a teenager as she made her Wimbledon debut in 2016.
But injuries stalled Swan's progress, with a back injury putting her career in jeopardy. By the end of 2024, Swan had started coaching at a tennis club in Kansas, where her parents live, and considered retirement because the pain was so severe. As a "last resort", she visited a doctor in Arizona and sought alternative treatment.
Swan described the rehab she underwent to overcome her back spasms as "excruciating", to the point that continuing may not have been worth it, but she pushed through. "There were times when I cried during the sessions but I just had to trust him because he told me that it was going be worth it and I was going to feel better," Swan told the Press ******* ociation.

Katie Swan became the first British singles player to reach the second round at this year's Wimbledon, but Katie Boulter fell to a disappointing defeat by a qualifier on day two.
Ten Britons lost on the opening day of their home major - the most at SW19 since daily records began in 2000.
But Swan, who considered retiring from tennis in 2024 because of a persistent back injury, avoided the same fate in her first Grand Slam appearance for three years with a 6-4 6-4 victory over Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu.
The 27-year-old threw herself to the ground as she celebrated the win - her first in the main draw of a major since she beat the same opponent at Wimbledon in 2018.
In an abysmal opening day for home hopes, 10 British players - including Cameron Norrie, the highest ranked Briton - quickly toppled out of the tournament.

Jalen Thomas Brooks can pinpoint the exact moment his life changed.
At 3 a.m. on May 13, the actor was sitting on a rooftop in New York with his Off Campus costars Belmont Cameli and Ella Bright, waiting for the show to hit streaming. As the clock crept into the morning, their phones started lighting up.
"The notifications on our phones were just ding, ding, ding, ding, ding," Brooks recalls to Yahoo. "The next day, we walked outside, and it was completely different. Ever since then, it's been a little surreal."
The moment isn't lost on Brooks, whose first job was helping his dad build stages for DJs and events around Las Vegas. He's now a fixture on two of television's buzziest shows: Prime Video's hockey romance phenomenon Off Campus and HBO Max's acclaimed medical drama The Pitt.
"It's a beautiful thing," Brooks says.
