'Tis indeed the season for gingerbread! Snack on these small fellas mid-day when you're wanting something sweet.
Peppermint Mini Marshmallows
These peppermint marshmallows will definitely help you perfect your hot chocolate ritual this winter.
Gingerbread Cake & Cookie Mix
This versatile baking mix transforms into cake or cookies – or both, if that's your vibe. It's unbelievably easy to make either one, TBH. All it needs to come to fruition is some oil, water, and egg.
Handmade Candy Cane with Cocoa Center
What's the holiday season without a candy cane? This Trader Joe's holiday item stands out from the traditional candy, though, boasting a soft cocoa crème center.
Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies
These two chewy gingerbread cookies host a thick and creamy layer of vanilla frosting in between for an extra indulgent holiday dessert.

Christmas Sprinkle
This festive sprinkle mix will make your Christmas cookies look oodles more impressive.
Chocolate Dipped Danish Cookies
This yummy pastry box will be there for all your last-minute get-togethers. Just grab and go – the party will surely adore your culinary contribution.

Time can get lost amongst all the holiday party prep – conserve not only your time, but your energy by baking up this pre-made cookie dough!
Apple Cinnamon Buns
Not ready for fall to end? These handcrafted pastries still retain some of that fall spirit with the help of tender apples and cinnamon!
Candy Cane Chocolate Covered Almonds
White *and* dark chocolate adorn these crunchy candy cane-like almonds. These would make the perfect stocking stuffer, too.
Belgian Cookie Trio
Indulge in three different treats when you snag this box off shelves: almond thins brilliantly dipped in milk chocolate, waffle cookies half-dipped in smooth dark chocolate, and butter biscuits fully enrobed in rich dark chocolate.
Jingle Jangle Pretzel Twists
This fan-favorite snack has indeed made its comeback! These thick pretzels get smothered in peanut butter, chocolate, cookie bits, and chocolate candies. It's like all the best holiday snacks in one!
Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce is a no-brainer when it comes to the holidays. Whether you choose to serve it with Thanksgiving or top cookies with it, this pick will enhance those seasonal vibes.
Sweet Cannoli Dip
Made to emulate the best part of the Italian cannoli, this dip works well with any sort of sweet, cinnamon-dusted chips.
Savory Snacks
Holiday Cheer Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread
This spread is equally cheesy, sweet, and savory, which can add a touch of flavor magic to the holiday season.
Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Tart
We love a tart. This savory one, part of Trader Joe's winter items, hosts a medley of squash, onion, and cheese. It's crazy easy to make, too. Just pop it in the oven, and you're set.
Baked Pizza Flavored Pillow Crisps
These hollow chips are crunchy AF and remind us of pizza-flavored Goldfish. Score!
Truffle Glaze
For an elegant finish to your seasonal dishes, this glaze brings forth sweetness and acidity. TJ's recommends adding it to pizza, salmon, or steak.
Drinks
Organic Hot Cocoa Mix
This drink mix with a splash of whiskey will make the *ultimate* boozy hot chocolate.
Non-Dairy Cinnamon Bun Oat Creamer
We're already obsessed with TJ's Brown Sugar Oat Creamer, so this cinnamon roll-inspired one must be heavenly.

Gift yourself the treat of a sweet coffee by brewing your next cup with this nutty, chocolatey blend.
Egg Nog
This drink can be controversial, but Trader Joe's sweeter-than-sweet egg nog is sure to bring the party together.
