If you know me, you know I LOVE Trader Joe’s. The supermarket chain just recently started building locations here in South Florida, so I am still working my way through trying all the fun items. I have noticed they are really stepping it up during the holidays.
Here are just a few of my favorite holiday items:
Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter: Go buy this. Right now. If you love the original cookie butter cult classic, you will like this. Not sure how long this will be on store shelves, so grab a jar while you can!

Fall Harvest Salsa: This stuff is so good, I eat it on everything! I have been making spaghetti squash in the crockpot and then topping it with this and sauteed veggies. So good!
Whole Wheat Butternut Squash Gyoza: I love TJ’s veggie gyozas… and these are also really good! They have squash, edamame and spices in the filling.
Candy Cane Green Tea: I love tea! I drink it every day at work and this candy cane green tea is one of my current favorites. It is minty and refreshing and I just love the adorable polar bear on the box!

Chocolate Advent Calendars: We got these last year for the kids and they were a huge hit. They are all chocolate and in different shapes. You can’t go wrong for only 99 cents!

Pumpkin Cranberry Crisps: These are amazing. I can eat them plain or with cheese on them. If you are doing a cheese plate for your holiday events, be sure to get these… people are always comment on how good they are.
Pumpkin Pie Mochi: These are strangely addictive. The ice cream center is so good, with little bits of graham cracker and the mochi dough outside is the craziest consistency.. but I love it.

Pumpkin Waffles: I don’t eat these, but my kids love them, so I figured I would throw them in here. It just goes to show you that my love for all things pumpkin was passed on to my sweet children.
What are your must-have seasonal items from Trader Joe’s? I am always looking for fun new things to buy!

This list is amazing, and I'm super jealous I'm not home to enjoy a trip to TJ's. Those pumpkin mochi look amazing!! I'm addicted to the regular mochi balls, and this just takes it up a notch!

They are SOOO good! TJ's is pretty new to me still, they just starting building them in South Florida about a year ago.
I'd love some candy cane tea!

It is so good!! 🙂
Love trader joes!! Candy cane tea just sounds so much better than peppermint!!
Right? And the box is super cute too!
TJ's always has such incredible food, especially this time of year! I forget exactly what they are called, but they are these German gingerbread cookies and they come in iced or chocolate-covered. I actually prefer the former, but I stock up on packs of both for me and my husband when they come out because they don't last long!
I will search them out the next time I go!
I have to avoid TJ's this time of year because I'll literally leave having spent hundreds of dollars on feed I can not possibly eat before it goes bad lol
hahaha I know.. lists are my friend these days or else I come home with everything!
Trader Joe's always has the best deals on holiday goodies. My daughter will like the pumpkin pie mochi.
So good! 😉
I've only tried about half of these. I really want to try that peppermint green tea-sounds delicious!
It is so minty and refreshing! I love it!
I am so hungry right now! Yummmmmmm!!!!!
I know.. me too 🙂
I am so hungry right now! Yummmmmmm!!!!!
This is great! I love Trader Joes, but I don't get to go very often so the last time I went I was so overwhelmed by everything. I love having some guided recommendations. Thanks.
Me too! I search out trader joe lists so I know what is good to buy!
I have the pumpkin cookie butter in our cabinet right now! I hope they come out with a peppermint version;)
That would be an awesome idea!!
I have yet to try Cookie Butter… that pumpkin spice version may be the push I need to finally try it! Ha!
Both versions are so good!
One thing I would add to your list is the salted caramel chocolates!!! Move over cookie butter… there's an even better addicting sweet treat in town 😉
Yes! They had those out as samples a few weekends back.. you are right SO good!
I love cookie butter… didn't know they had pumpkin too!
Yes it is only for the fall.. so good!!
Ughh, I wished we had a Trader Joe's near us! I know they have some AWESOME products!
I just recently discovered them since they didn't have them here until last year.. but I am in love! 😉
I have mochi in my fridge that I still need to try. (You just reminded me of that fact.) I love the gift boxes of flavored oils and mustards they have too!
Flavored oils?! I need to look for those.. thanks!
Shut the front door….pumpkin pie mochi?!?!?!? Candy Cane Green Tea?!?!?! I have never been so happy that I have to drive an hour away tomorrow. I am SO hitting up TJ's on my way back!
Confession time: I've NEVER been to a Trader Joe's! Clearly, I'm missing out. I know, I know.. I'm getting with the program and planning a trip STAT! 😉
Holiday items and Trader Joe's … two of my favorite things. I never knew I needed this list until you came up with it!
Ive never been to Trader Joes before a holiday but I think I might have to go, those Pumpkin Cranberry Crisps sound amazing!
I'll be heading to TJ's this week! I'll have to pick up some of these!
Oh, I love TJ seasonal stuff. I always spend too much when I go there. I'd love to visit soon. That peppermint green tea sounds yummy.
All of these sound great! I have to tell you I read the salsa description as the cookie butter. I was thinking WTF does she eat in her house? Sauteed veggies and cookie butter! LOL. Once I re-read the Harvest Salsa sounds great!!!
Ooooh I'm not sure if I've seen the pumpkin pie cookie butter! I must look for that next time!
Yum! So many items I haven't tried and I love Trader Joe's. I am obsessed with their pumpkin butter and go through a jar almost every week… whoops.
Ughhh I might temporarily hate you since I want everything you just listed and ummm…. The closest Trader Joes is like 2 hours away from me lol…. Sucks so bad not having one close by anymore 🙁
