If Halloween just isn't your thing, fear not. Many stores such as Marshall's and Home Goods have put their spooky decor and candy on the clearance rack and filled their shelves with Santa mugs, wreaths, and holiday table runners. Frankly, if you're a Christmas person, you don't even have to wait until November to start decorating. Additionally, Trader Joe's is starting to roll out various Christmas items on shelves. Now that we're done with Thanksgiving essentials like cranberry sauce, stuffing, and cornbread crisps, it's time to get every peppermint-flavored snack. Here's what we know about the forthcoming Trader Joe's Christmas items.
What does Trader Joe's have available for Christmas right now?
As of the date of publishing, there are few Trader Joe's Christmas items available in many stores. For starters, your pups can celebrate early with you with the new Holiday Peanut Butter Flavor Decorated Dog Treats.
Additionally, @traderjoesnew on Instagram spotted a few Christmas baking mixes including the beloved Chocolate Peppermint Loaf & Baking Mix as well as the Gingerbread Cake & Cookie Mix With Crystallized Ginger Pieces.
Additionally, TJ's is ready for holiday cheese boards with their new truffle cheddar, truffle Brie, and cranberry chevre.
If you've been waiting for advent calendars, you're in luck! The stores have just started to stock their 24 Days Of Milk Chocolate Advent Calendars for $1.29 each.
According to @trader_joes_treasure_hunt, the beloved chocolate mix Jingle Jangle has been spotted in late October. For just $10, this tin of candies and sweets is a must for the holiday season, and should be picked up ASAP. Truly, don't sleep on adding this to your cart if you do find it at your local store.
The Instagram user also shared that Cookie Mug Hangers, Gingerbread House Kits, Peppermint Marshmallows, and Peppermint Baking Chips are also in-store. New sweet items include the Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Rondos, Astounding Multi-Flavor Mini Pretzels, and the Shareable Shortbread French Butter Cookie.
When do Christmas and holiday products normally arrive at Trader Joe's?
Of course, much like Pumpkin Palooza, TJ's fans count down the days until Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s and peppermint and gingerbread ice creams hit the shelves.
According to Reddit threads from 2022, Trader Joe's begins launching Christmas items shortly after Halloween. Many Reddit users commented that their stores started seeing more Trader Joe's Christmas items arrive between November 7 and 9. Should Trader Joe's be operating on the same schedule, many stores may be stocking shelves the second week of November. So, make sure you stock up on your fall pumpkin hauls before those items are phased out. It's likely we will be seeing more peppermint and red, white, and green garlands sooner, rather than later.
Make sure you ask your local TJ's employees if they know when your go-to store is getting new products in, as well, as store timelines differ based on location.
