TRADER JOE’S HOLIDAY MUST HAVES
HEYYYYOO!!! IT’S BLOGMAS DAY 3!!! Coming at ya with my TOP Trader Joe’s holiday must haves! Giving you guys this one early bcuz things at Trader Joe’s tend to FLY off the shelves and then they don’t return! So RUN don’t walk to your local TJ’s to scoop these things up now! You won’t want to miss out!
Some are returning items from years past and some are new! I’ve got everything from snacks, to sweets, to stocking stuffers, and everything in between! I’m only picking a few which is SUPER hard to do but these are the top things I’m purchasing this year!
Syd’s Top 13 Trader Joe’s Holiday Items:
- GRUMP TREE. These bad boys FLY off the shelves! They’re a super cute Lemon Cypress tree wrapped in a red ribbon and a cute glittery ornament at the top. A Christmas decorating staple, so if you’re lucky to get your hands on one enjoy it!
2. THE SPICE MARKET. New item alert! This spice set is new at Trader Joe’s and comes with 5 spices! The EBTB seasoning, Chile lime seasoning, and EBTE seasoning are probably the top selling spices, so having them in this holiday bundle along with 2 new spices is amazing!
3. BETTER THAN LEFTOVERS DOG TREATS. You can’t forget about your fur babies! These dog treats are packaged super cute and the name of them is super cute too! and the doggo’s LVOE them! I had to grab a second bag to put into my dogs stocking!
4. STROOPWAFEL CAKE MIX. Trader Joe’s always has the best baking mixes and this year they’ve come out with the Stroopwafel cake mix! Perfect addition to any gift basket or gift exchange!
5. SWEET & SALTY SNACK MIX. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! Another new one on the shelves this year! I bought a bag and couldn’t stop eating it! My favorite part of the mix is the chocolate covered potato chip pieces!
6. CANDY CAN JOE-JOE’S DARK CHOCOLATE BAR. OKAY, if you haven’t tried Trader Joe’s candy can Joe-Joe’s, you need to get your life together and try them now! and NOW THEY’VE MADE THEM INTO A CHOCOLATE BAR!! WHHHAT!? All I can say is genius. SO. GOOD. and a perfect stocking stuffer!
7. DECKED OUT TREE COOKIES. Don’t over look these! They’re dangerously good! And when we were tasting these, the crew agreed that even the sprinkles add to the deliciousness of these cookies!
8. MINI GINGERBREAD PEOPLE. A classic staple to the yearly Trader Joe’s Christmas haul! They so yum and you can make any desert or food festive with these guys! A few years a go I make festive oatmeal with them! and they’re even good sticking them on top of some chocolate chip cookies to make them Christmasy!
9. CEDAR BALSAM CANDLE. Ok, who doesn’t love a good Christmas scented candle?! This one from Trader Joe’s hits it home! It smells amazing and the little tin they come in is ver aesthetic! Hopefully you were lucky enough to get your hands on a few, they flew off the shelves this year!
10. PEPPERMINT FOAMING HAND SOAP. Another one that flew off the shelves this year, but I can’t blame y’all for coming and buying it all so fast bcuz it’s a Christmas time staple! It smells amazing and you can’t go wrong with a holiday scented foaming soap! And again, Trader Joe’s does it again with the cute aesthetic.
11. JINGLE JANGLE. The infamous Jingle Jangle. If you don’t know about Trader Joe’s Jingle Jangle I feel bad for ya! And you must be living under a rock because this stuff 1. is like crack 2. BLOWING up the internet. SoOoo! Getcha booty to TJ’s now grab a tin of the Jingle Jangle (or 2, possibly 3) and thank me later!
12. TRUFFLE DIP. WOW. If you’re a truffle lover you’ll go crazy for this! It’s so so good! It’s great for dipping chips OR my favorite way to use it, is to spread it on a burger to make it a truffle burger! brb drooling 🤤
13. FELTED WOOL GARLAND. Probably one of the hottest Christmas items at Trader Joe’s. I haven’t gotten my hands on any this year and it’s looking like we may not even get it this year (sorry Greenville peeps) BUT if you see it, GRAB IT! It’s super cute and colorful and will add the perfect touch to your Christmas decor!
