We wait with baited breath for the special holiday flyer every year and this one doesn’t disappoint! Filled with all sorts of holiday goodies and seasonal delights, it’s your go to guide to holiday shopping at Trader Joe’s. We picked the top 5 must have items for 2021.
Trader Joe’s Must Have Holiday Items
Hot Cocoa Ornaments
Trader Joe’s Hot Cocoa Ornaments look like actual Christmas tree ornaments, but they would surely be wasted hanging from a tree! Each red, yellow, blue, or green ornament is covered in an edible glitter coating that will delight both young and old! Dunked into a steaming mug of milk or hot non-dairy beverage, the milk-chocolate shell which has just the slightest delicious taste of mint melts away to reveal a secret stash of marshmallows and chocolate chips! Stir, stir, stir and voila – a magical mug of mint chocolate hot cocoa with marshmallows.
Each 10.5-ounce package of four Hot Cocoa Ornaments is $6.99. Great stocking stuffer or secret Santa gift.
Brie en Croûte
Literally translated from French to “Brie baked in a pastry crust,” each box of Brie en Croûte is a wheel of double cream Brie covered in a flaky unbaked pastry crust. Just place it on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake! The cheese melts inside as the pastry turns to a golden brown. Great with crackers and even a little bit of raspberry jam. This is what you are bringing to that holiday potluck. That is, if it makes it out of your kitchen.
You can find it in the frozen section, $6.99 for each 12-ounce package.
Baton Lover’s Quartet
Trader Joe’s Baton Lover’s Quartet is back! once again! Made by the same supplier as the other seasonal batons, you will find the same balance of delicate texture in the wafer cookie with the softness of the festively flavored cream filling inside. The quartet contains four different varieties: Cookies & Cream in a chocolate shell; Chocolatey Orange in an orange shell; Hazelnut in a tan-hued shell; and Cocoa inside a plucky pink cookie shell.
Each canister is $7.99, and you better grab one while they last.
Sparkling Pomegranate Punch
What better way to celebrate the holidays and ring in the New Year with the kids than with this special sassy, fizzy pomegranate punch. It’s as easy as popping open a can. The flavor is bright, rich and fruity with a blend of pomegranate, pineapple, orange, and apple juices…..and a kick of ginger! You can enjoy this punch in many ways, as a refreshing beverage just because, add a fancy glass to dress it up or mix it into a cocktail. No matter which, you will feel special.
Each four-pack of 8.45 fl. oz cans is $3.99 (plus deposit or tax where required).
