Aldi Just Leaked Info on Dozens of New Holiday Groceries Hitting Stores Now — Here Are the 10 You Need to Know About

Twinkly lights and stars, snowy scapes, scarf-clad reindeer, and santa-red bags are sure signs as any that the festivities are a comin’ — and fast. (Is it just us, or did October fly by … on a witch’s broom?!) Of course, a new month also means a fresh batch of Aldi Finds. 

Our friends at Aldi gave us a sneak peek at the dozens of items hitting stores ahead of the holidays. Beyond the beloved advent calendars, which are available on November 1 (!), these finds are packed with all kinds of sweets — for snacking, gifting, decorating, and even displaying. There were so many to choose between, it was nearly impossible to even narrow it down to 10. 

That’s why we’re dedicating the entire list to all things sweet, almost all of which are available on November 2. Back-to-back trips to Aldi, anyone? Happy shopping.

No, that’s not a typo — these beautifully wrapped chocolates are, in fact, grand chocolades. Available November 2, they come in three varieties: Chocolate Crème (milk chocolate with a crème filling), Crispy Hazelnut (milk chocolate with a crispy wafer and hazelnut crème filling), and Premium Collection (chocolate crème with a crispy hazelnut and hazelnut crème filling). Any one of the chocolades would look elegant displayed in your favorite candy dish.

We like to refer to this bread-like cake with German roots as powdered sugar-coated heaven. While there are many variations circulating the globe, Aldi is keeping things simple and classic this year with just two: Cherry or Marzipan. Why not try both? They’re available on November 2.

Made in Germany, these spiced and iced gingerbread cookies just might be the sleeper hit of your holiday cookie swap. Available on November 2, no one has to know they came from the store. Your secret is safe with us. 

Aldi, you had us at butter — and yet another German import. We’re delighted to see these crisp, buttery cookies, and we bet they are great dunked in warm tea or hot cocoa (more on that below). Find them in stores on November 2.

Stroopwafels continue to be the moment. Whether you’re dunking these caramel-filled waffle rounds in coffee, chocolate, or even tomato soup, there truly is no wrong way to eat them. Look for them in stores November 2.

Elf is one of our favorite holiday movies, and just looking at this pepperminty popcorn brings visions of a tights-clad Will Ferrell dodging snowballs to our heads. The sweet and salty holiday treat is available November 2 — perfectly timed for a Friday movie night.

Sometimes we get a sneak taste of new launches, and after one sip of this melted hot cocoa bomb, we dubbed this newcomer “the one thing you should buy” at Aldi this holiday season. Tip: In lieu of hot milk or water, pour ready-made hot cocoa in your mug. Find them in stores on November 2.

This trio of wafer tins are checking all the boxes — they’re great for snacking (or topping your hot cocoa), make an adorable hosting gift, and add a bit of whimsical decor to your mantel or coffee table. Available November 2, we wouldn’t shame you at all if you bought three on your next Aldi run. 

Speaking of gifts, this sleek box is punching way above its sub-$6 price tag. The milk chocolate clusters are filled with a soft caramel and roasted and salted pecan pieces, so your sweet and salty loved ones get the best of both worlds. And wouldn’t you know, it’s also available on November 2.

Warning: Fun activities for kids and kids-at-heart coming through. This all-inclusive kit comes with pre-baked gingerbread cookies, icing, and candy treats for decorating. Of course, overachievers can also add their own flair. Find them in stores on November 22.
