It doesn't matter if you say "peh-cahn" or "pee-can" you're going to love this returning dip for your holiday spread. Made with cream cheese, sour cream and roasted pecans, Redditors get creative year after year with this one. "I get the sliced sirloin from the refrigerated section and spread the slices with this. Divine" and another says: "This is so good with endive and honey + more pecans."

Soup season is in full swing and it's all about convenience with the pop of a lid on this winter classic. Made with chunks of white meat chicken, carrots and celery plus hearty egg noodles, this one will warm you up and is (almost) as good as grandma's. "This soup tastes homemade. Lovely chunks of carrot and curly noodles! I would definitely recommend" says one Redditor.
6. Thanksgiving Stuffing Seasoned Popcorn

Another new product that the internet is split on, with some saying that it has too much flavor and some saying there's not enough flavor. "It’s so good, I’m on my second bag already ????" says one TikToker. Another person comments that they make their own by taking the Everything But the Leftovers Seasoning Blend and making their own popcorn to control the Thanksgiving flavor a bit better. Genius!
7. Ridge Cut Potato Chips Seasoned With Horseradish & Chives

Why have a bowl of regular potato chips out for guests when you can wow them with the unexpected flavors of these spicy seasonal spuds? "I’ve been waiting for these all year. Running to TJs" says one commenter and "Yessss!! Love these chips! ????" says another. Grab a bag (or three) in the chip aisle before they run out.
8. Crunchy Chili Cranberry Orange & Onion

For the holiday season, TJ has another chili crunch to add to their lineup and this time it has the flavors of zesty citrus, sweet cranberry and crunchy onion. "I'm super skeptical and definitely buying this" says one Redditor. For fellow skeptics, Trader Joe's has some awesome suggestions for this limited buy, saying it's "ideal for serving over turkey, pork roast, prime rib, and many other staples of the Thanksgiving and holiday seasons" and that it's particularly amazing over a "baked brie or a piece of crostini covered in Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread." Sold.
9. Cinnamon Sugar Toffee Trio

Natasha Fischer, of the popular Instagram account @traderjoeslist gives these sugar-coated toffee chips a 10 out of 10 saying "The toffee flavor is perfect and the cinnamon sugar not only smells like Auntie Anne’s pretzels, but tastes awfully churroish." Snag a bag before they're gone!

These little cakes, found with the breakfast items, are getting some stellar reviews on all the social platforms. One genius idea from a Redditor: "I put them in the toaster, came out perfect. Made a sandwich with an egg and their chicken sausage patty, some cheddar a dab of maple syrup. It was my McGriddle sandwich dupe from McDonald’s and boy let me tell ya, I had the break room buzzing!"

A vegan dip made with almond butter, chipotle pepper powder, smoked paprika, garlic and tamari, this one is sure to please everyone at your Thanksgiving dinner. The popular Instagram page @trader_joes_treasure_hunt says that this is a great stand-in for the popular (and pricey!) Bitchin' Sauces.

Genius TikTokers have been heating up this oat beverage and frothing it up to pour over their coffee with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice (what a way to start your morning!). Grab a carton of it in the refrigerated section for only $2.99.

Another fave that's back in stock, this sea salt grinder has a cult following online with some saying it's so good, they've stockpiled it since last season. "I use the salt all the time! We use it primarily on beef. Glad it’s back as we were running low on the only bottle we had!" Another swears by an avocado BLT with a sprinkle of this salt for a top-notch lunch.
14. Everything But the Leftovers Seasoning Blend
Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel
It's back! Redditors have a zillion ideas for this popular seasoning blend—everything from eggs, baked squash and homemade turkey meatballs to "I'm late to the party but I just made some croutons to throw in soup with it and they are seriously so good!!!"

Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel
If you're a fan of Trader Joe's original balsamic glaze, give this truffle-kissed one a try. "Tried this last night on some Parmesan risotto and it was excellent! You definitely don’t need much but it gave a really good truffle flavor without tasting too artificial. The balsamic balances it nicely. Will definitely be stocking up on a few bottles!" says one Redditor.

The comments on these chips go back years with Redditors loving the Thanksgiving flavor these crispy chips offer in every bite. "These things are insanely delicious dipped in cranberry sauce. We're waiting for our local Joe's to get them in!" The chips are vegan too (there's no actual turkey in the chips, just the seasonings)!
17. Christmas Sprinkle
Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel
This dye-free pack of sprinkles is made for TJ by a confectionary supplier in Spain, and will make any of your desserts pop with holiday cheer this year. The crunchy sprinkles in red, white and green feature trees, candy canes, snowflakes and stars and are the sweetest addition to your cinnamon buns, brownies, cupcakes or sugar cookies. Pick up a bag for only $1.99 during the holiday season.
18. Maple Streusel Bread
Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel
This yearly fave is back on shelves and if you think it's just for boring old toast, you'd be wrong. French toast, bread pudding, or a delicious midnight snack of cinnamon toast are all amazing uses of this limited-edition holiday find that the internet can't get enough of. "My FAVE!!! I can just eat it right out of the bag??" says one and "Been WAITING for this ??????" says another.
19. Antipasto Assortment
Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel
"Girl that's a lunchable" says one Redditor about this one-pound cheese, meat and olive assortment. This seasonal find is in with the cheeses and is a good grab if you forget that company is coming or need something fast to bring to a party. "Just picked this up to serve at a housewarming and the pepper-coated salami and olives were my favorite from it! The cheese was also a hit but it’s not the best Asiago I’ve ever had" says another commenter.
20. Turkey Sausage Stuffing Fried Rice
Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel
A popular returning item from last year, this fried rice features turkey sausage, long-grain rice, onion, celery, and breadcrumbs with rosemary, parsley, and thyme. Veggies come into play too: slivered green beans, corn, carrots and fried onion pieces. Sauté for a few minutes in a frying pan and have the flavors of Thanksgiving on your plate long after the turkey is off the table.
21. Sugar Cookie Dough
Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel
This dessert is a new find and easy to slice and bake, of course, but the internet isn't too impressed, with some saying it's too greasy and others saying it doesn't have much flavor. For $3.99, if you're curious (or need cookies in a pinch!) head to the refrigerated case by the eggs to pick up a pack and see for yourself.
22. Double Chocolate Croissants
Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel
Watch anyone on TikTok or Instagram prepare these frozen little pain au chocolate beauties and you'll be drooling at your screen. The box comes with four croissants, each stuffed with two chocolate batons, but you have to let them proof overnight before baking for 25 minutes in the morning. One TikToker says "Theyre dangerousss. I have 2 left in the freezer but I need to go back to Trader Joe’s asap haha."
23. Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Tart
Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel
The location of this one varies by store, with some reporting it's in the cheese case and some saying it's near the deli items alongside pre-made sandwiches, but the consensus is absolute deliciousness. One TikToker says "This is my dinner tonight and it tastes like happiness. It’s flaky & comforting. Perfect fall meal."
Note that different stores also have different packaging. Some of the tarts are smaller and thicker and come in a plastic container, like the one above. The other option, as captured on Reddit, are larger and thinner and come wrapped in plastic wrap. Both options are 18 ounces, so it's just the packaging and shape that differ.

24. Apple Overnight Oats

Joining the ranks of their other overnight oat flavors: peanut butter, pumpkin, vanilla and almond butter, this new flavor is pretty good according to commenters online, even though some speculate it may be more economical to make your own. But in a pinch: "Apple is good! Way way better than pumpkin IMO."
25. Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts
View the original article to see embedded media.
The internet is buzzing about these spicy seasoned sprouts, but for some, the price ($5.99 for 14 oz.) is too much to stomach. For others, the promise of a delicious side dish that's heat-and-eat and on the table in 5 minutes is too good to pass up. Look for these in the refrigerated case.
