10 Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving Finds Worth Grabbing This Year

Every fall, our favorite store transforms into a holiday destination. Its shelves are packed full of festive food and limited-edition favorites. These are the best Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving items on shelves now, including new Trader Joe’s holiday products that tend to sell out quickly.

Everything But the Leftovers Seasoning

This signature Trader Joe’s blend is Thanksgiving in a jar. Combining rosemary, sage, thyme, onion, and a touch of black pepper, it instantly turns any dish into a holiday classic. You can sprinkle it on roasted vegetables, add it to mashed potatoes, or mix it into stuffing for an easy flavor boost.

Thanksgiving Stuffing Seasoned Kettle Chips

Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving Stuffing Seasoned Kettle Chips deliver all the flavor of the holiday’s classic savory side—sage, thyme and celery—compressed into crunchy chip form. Limited-edition and limited-time, these are perfect for sneaking a taste of Thanksgiving while you wait for the turkey.

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese

Another standout Thanksgiving item at Trader Joe’s this year is the Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese. Creamy, cozy, and packed with fall flavor, it combines roasted butternut squash purée with a rich blend of cheddar and gouda for the ultimate comfort dish. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing side that pairs perfectly with turkey, stuffing, or a glass of cider.

Turkey Cranberry Meatballs

These are a fun twist on the traditional turkey dish. They’re savory meatballs that are mixed with tender ground turkey and sweet cranberries for a festive bite. They’ll reheat beautifully in your air fryer or oven, and make a great addition to any appetizer spread or buffet table.

Creamy Mushroom & Truffle Soup

Trader Joe’s soup lineup is on fire with this rich, vegetarian blend of mushrooms and truffles. It’s velvety, aromatic, and can make a comforting first course for your Thanksgiving meal. If you find something you like at Home Goods, for example, you can serve it in festive mugs or small bowls for a nice touch.

Herb Stuffing Mix

Classic and simple, this stuffing mix is everything you want in a Thanksgiving staple. It’s made with seasoned bread cubes and herbs that capture homemade flavor with minimal prep. Just add broth, butter, and maybe a few extras like sausage, celery, or apples if you want to dress things up a little.

Truffle Mashed Potatoes

Truffle fries sprinkled with parmesan are a fan-favorite on any menu. These will become instant hits, as well. They’re an upgraded version of Trader Joe’s mashed potatoes that add a hint of truffle for extra depth. They’re smooth, buttery, and ready to heat, making them an effortless side that feels special enough for the holiday table.

Apple Cider Donuts

No Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving season is complete without these cinnamon sugar delights. They’re dense, cake-style, and best served slightly warmed. Pair them with hot chocolate, hot cider, or coffee for the perfect post-feast treat or breakfast the next morning. 

Or, depending on whether you’re feeling naughty or nice, you can also pair these with the store’s pre-made Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini. This won’t surprise you, but Trader Joe’s seasonal food 2025 lineup rotates fast, so be sure to shop early if something catches your eye.

Maple Pecan Cookie Mix

Trader Joe’s Maple Pecan Cookie Mix is an easy way to bake something sweet without starting from scratch. The mix creates chewy cookies filled with a nutty flavor and warm maple finish, making them perfect for coffee breaks or after-dinner dessert plates.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Rich, smooth, and lightly spiced, this seasonal cheesecake is one of Trader Joe’s most beloved desserts. With a graham cracker crust and creamy pumpkin filling, it’s the perfect centerpiece for your holiday dessert spread.

And don't miss out on the Pumpkin Cheesecake Croissants! They have quickly become one of the most talked-about fall treats of the year. The flaky, buttery pastries are filled with a rich pumpkin-spiced cheesecake center that tastes like a perfect mashup of a bakery croissant and a Thanksgiving dessert.

Bringing It All Together

We hope this list inspires a few quick Thanksgiving dinner ideas, from appetizers to desserts. Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving 2025 lineup captures the cozy, cheerful spirit of the season. Whether you’re hosting a big party or enjoying a quiet night at home, these products will make it easy to enjoy the holiday season without the stress.
