When I first moved to NYC, I was in college, searching the vast city for an internship. While there, I was, like many young people, trying to stay on budget. I always looked forward to the end-of-the-quarter dinners my professors would invite us to, and I’ll never forget the time we visited Junior’s. Everyone knows you don’t go to that restaurant for the dinner; instead, you load up on the most flavorful and rich cheesecake

If you’ve tried Junior’s and are a fan, or have never gotten a chance to visit one of their locations in NYC, you’ll be excited to learn that Costco just stocked its refrigerated section with cheesecakes from this famous restaurant. 

If you visit Costco, look for the Junior’s Christmas Tree Cheesecake. It’s designed like a festive pine and has a classic New York cheesecake base covered in chocolate ganache. The cake is decorated with red and green chocolate stripes and tree-shaped sprinkles. One 48-ounce cake costs $26.99. All you need is to sign up for a Costco membership and then you can begin shopping for great deals.

Shoppers are obsessed with this Junior’s Christmas Tree Cheesecake. One digital creator, @costcobuys, posted about it, and people raced to the comments to express how “yummy” this dessert looks and how they’re ready for Costco to “take their money.”

While they’re unavailable on Costco’s website, you can visit Gold Belly’s website to shop the restaurant’s famous dessert, which is available for shipping. 

Still, if you’re hoping to secure the Christmas tree-shaped cheesecake from Junior’s, you’ll have to visit Costco to get your hands on one. Good luck!
