Christmas is always sneaking up on us—and if you’re like me, you’re scrambling not only to buy all those last-minute gifts for everyone on your list, but also to fit as much holiday cheer into these last few days of the season as possible. Oftentimes, that means treating yourself to some festive goodies. And we all know no one does seasonal items quite like Trader Joe’s.
Whether you’re looking to deck the halls, enjoy a sweet treat, or even participate in a fun family activity, TJ’s has you covered. We’re highlighting a few of our favorite holiday products on their shelves below.
1. Gingerbread House Kit
A craft you can eat? Sign us up! There are a lot of great gingerbread house kits out there, but this one from Trader Joe's is definitely one of the best around. (Can confirm—I'm looking at one on my table right now!) It comes with everything you need to build a whimsical German-style house made of cookies, including cookie walls, a cookie roof, gummies and chocolate for decoration, icing for cementing, and even sugary critters that will make this house a home. Building it is fun for the whole family—even if it just turns into snack time.
2. Shimmering Candy Cane Body Butter
Give your "everything shower" some festive flair with this candy cane body butter. Lovers of Trader Joe's beauty products already know that their body butter formula is unbeatable, and when you add a peppermint twist to the mix, it's really just impossible to resist. Not only does it smell amazing, but it will also leave your skin feeling soft and supple, thanks to coconut oil, shea butter, and aloe. Plus, it's shimmery! How can we say no to that holiday sparkle?
3. Egg Nog
Okay, this one might be controversial, but if you fall within the camp of people who love egg nog, you should definitely pick up a carton at Trader Joe's. This creamy, cozy beverage is complete with delicious nutmeg. Enjoy it on its own, add some rum to the mix, or throw it into tasty recipes like bread pudding. And if you're not a fan of egg nog, maybe you'd prefer the hot chocolate bombs instead. To each their own!
4. Gingerbread Ice Cream
If TJ's knows how to do anything, it's concoct a delicious ice cream flavor. If the gingerbread house wasn't enough for you, might we suggest you add this Gingerbread Ice Cream to your cart as well? This sweet treat is made with a ginger-spiced base, Triple Ginger Snap Cookie bits, and a gingerbread swirl. It's the perfect thing to enjoy while sitting in front of your favorite holiday movie, wrapped up in a blanket and surrounded by loved ones. In short, it's just plain delicious.
