Trader Joe’s new tote has been getting a lot of attention and, this time, it’s a festive addition just in time for the holidays. 

Recently, shoppers walked into stores expecting the usual groceries and left buzzing about a brand-new Trader Joe’s holiday tote bag that feels like a seasonal upgrade of the store’s classic canvas design.

The tote is simple and familiar, with creamy canvas, green detailing, and slightly longer straps that make it easier to throw over your shoulder while juggling all your holiday groceries. 

It’s roughly the same size as TJ’s original blue bag, which longtime fans like us know and love. 

The chain hasn’t said how long this drop will last but, as we know, Trader Joe’s limited edition items tend to vanish quickly.

A Year of Trader Joe’s Reusable Bag Mania

If 2025 was the year of anything, it might have been the year of Trader Joe’s reusable bags. 

Fans lined up for Trick-or-Treat Mini Totes, Easter minis, and, of course, the viral Micro Totes that barely fit a packet of gum, but instantly became collector favorites.

Those Micro Totes, priced at $2.99 and available in red, green, and blue, sold out almost everywhere. 

The same thing happened with the reusable mystery bag packs, which gave shoppers three surprise bag designs for the same price. Once again, they disappeared almost as soon as they arrived.

The holiday tote seems poised to follow the same pattern, especially since it has that classic Trader Joe’s look, with a small seasonal twist.

How Much Does the Holiday Tote Cost?

The holiday tote bag price is refreshingly low. The new green-trimmed version is ringing up at $3.99, according to videos circulating online and reports from early shoppers.

If you love using sturdy totes for groceries, weekend errands, or everyday use, this will be an easy one to pop into your cart.

Availability varies by store, and with how quickly these drops sell out, it may be worth checking sooner rather than later.

Whether you’re a seasoned tote collector or someone who simply loves a cute, reusable grocery bag, this year’s holiday design is already shaping up to be another fan favorite. 

And knowing this community, it probably won’t stay on the shelves for long. We hope you’re able to score one this holiday season, keeping everything merry and bright.
