15 Holiday Items from Aldi I’m Stocking Up On This Season
'Tis the time for peppermint mocha, caramel sweetness, and gingerbread! Once Halloween has passed, I pack away my pumpkin spice and quickly enter the holiday spirit. I'm certain I'm not alone in this, as by early November, every store's shelves are brimming with festive items. Most notably, Aldi promptly replaced their fall merchandise with holiday goods. The budget-conscious grocery chain offers a selection of cookies, coffee, snacks, Advent calendars, and decorations that fulfill every holiday wish.
Make sure to check out the seasonal aisle on your next visit to Aldi. Here are my favorite holiday items from Aldi that you should consider adding to your cart this season. Keep reading for a delightful array of peppermint, gingerbread, and holiday joy.

No holiday movie marathon is complete without a large bowl of popcorn, and this peppermint kettle corn is a perfect match for your favorite holiday romantic comedy. This year, Aldi also offers dark chocolate-drizzled kettle corn, which I've been mixing into my bowl for a delightful peppermint mocha treat!
2. Cheese Advent Calendar

Aldi features a diverse range of Advent calendars this year, including options for snacks, alcohol, and small gifts. My favorite is the Winter Wonderland Cheese Advent Calendar Tasting Experience, which sounds quite magical. It includes 24 individual servings of cheese—including Gouda, truffle cheese, and flavored cheddar—and I plan to pair it with my wine Advent calendar for a DIY tasting experience.
3. Spekulatius Spiced Cookies

These cookies are perfect for fans of cookie butter and those little snacks you receive on a flight. They are somewhat more gingerbread-focused than Biscoff but maintain the familiar crunchy, cinnamon flavor that we all adore.
4. Fudge Covered Peppermint Cremes

Is there anything that embodies the holidays more than peppermint and chocolate? If you're a fan of the chocolate-covered peppermint cookies from Trader Joe’s, you'll love these. Although I haven't spotted those holiday Joe Joe’s in stores yet, these peppermint cremes have already made their way into my pantry this year.
5. Mini Waffle Cones
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy ice cream year-round, but sometimes, I just want a sweet crunch from a waffle cone. These mini waffle cones are free of ice cream but are filled with either hazelnut chocolate or peppermint chocolate. They make for a perfect-sized snack when you're craving something sweet.
6. Candy Cane Chocolate Sandwich Creme Cookies

If you prefer traditional sandwich cookies, don't miss these candy cane chocolate ones. These Oreo-style cookies feature a cream filling sprinkled with candy cane bits, sandwiched between two chocolate cookies. Based on my experience, they pair wonderfully with a hot cup of cocoa.
7. Peppermint Mocha Iced Coffee

You can take the girl out of New England, but you can’t take her iced coffee habit away. Even in the snow, I sip on iced coffee while watching the flakes fall. This peppermint mocha iced coffee is creamy, flavorful, and a convenient way to enjoy a festive iced coffee any time.
8. Apple Stollen Bites

Aldi is known for its German culinary selections, which are especially popular during the holidays. They offer various kinds of stollen, a traditional German holiday bread filled with fruits and nuts, similar to fruitcake or panettone. If you don't want a whole loaf, these mini apple stollen bites are perfectly snack-sized and a great way to sample the flavor.
9. Gingerbread Hearts

It took me some time to fully appreciate the delightful flavor combination of gingerbread and chocolate, but now I can’t get enough. These gingerbread hearts are covered in chocolate and filled with a sweet apricot center, making them spicy, sweet, and incredibly tasty.
10. Peppermint Pretzel Stars

If you enjoy yogurt-covered pretzels, these vanilla-dipped peppermint pretzel stars provide the festive update you need this holiday season. Crunchy pretzels coated with vanilla yogurt and topped with crushed candy cane pieces create the perfect blend of salty and sweet. They're great for snacking or would be the ideal addition to a holiday charcuterie board.
11. Caramel Brulee Coffee

I love brewing flavored coffee and letting those delightful aromas fill my home. In addition to my seasonal peppermint mocha fascination, caramel brulee is a favorite holiday flavor of mine. This coffee features notes of caramel, toffee, and a hint of white chocolate—a fantastic blend!
