Trader Joe’s Just Dropped New Holiday Items—See Them All Here
It’s the most wonderful time of the year at the retailer.

Trader Joe’s really brings its A-game during the holidays. Halloween and fall? All the cozy, pumpkin things you could ever want. Thanksgiving? You don’t even have to cook a full turkey meal from scratch with their offerings! And Christmas? Oh boy, Christmas is really fun, with sweet and savory treats for gatherings, plants and foliage, and fun gifts.
TJ’s just released its new holiday products, and there’s a lot to look forward to, from sweets like peppermint-flavored baking chips to cinnamon bun-inspired pancake and waffle mix, to savory items like artichoke bread pudding and braised pork shoulder. And there are plenty of non-food items that will come in handy this season like a fragrance-free version of TJ’s popular body butter and gift wrap. Take a look at the lineup below.
