For devoted Trader Joe’s enthusiasts, the period from September through the new year feels like a personal Super Bowl. Not only does Trader Joe’s pull out all the stops with its seasonal lineup, but many of the items on offer become some of our absolute favorites that we’ve been longing for all year long.
This November brings a wave of fresh and distinctive products onto shelves, so we’ve put together a rundown of the items we’re most eager to grab at Trader Joe’s this month. Let’s dive in.
Sugared Whipped Heavy Cream
Spicy Uncured Ibérico Chorizo
As Thanksgiving and the December celebrations approach, there’s no better moment to prepare a stock of cured meats and cheeses for the anticipated charcuterie boards. This dried chorizo is authentically produced in Spain using Ibérico pork, smoked paprika, salt, and garlic. Chorizo usually elevates any cheese board, and this version is shelf-stable, so you’ll have it on hand whenever the urge for charcuterie arises.
Corn Ravioli with Sweet Corn Filling
Corn stands out as one of the tastiest yet most underappreciated staples native to the Americas. There’s a strong link between autumn harvests and Thanksgiving that runs deep and meaningful here. So why not treat this season as a chance to explore corn in as many ways as possible? This Trader Joe’s offering makes it simple to craft a meal that truly honors corn. The semolina pockets hide a sweet corn and ricotta filling, and they’re finished with a savory, light sweet-corn sauce. It seems like a straightforward supper that would be excellently complemented by a drizzle of Trader Joe’s chili crunch on top.
Toffee-Infused Sticky Cheddar
Sticky toffee has emerged as a festive flavor this season, particularly across the United States. If you’ve enjoyed TJ’s sweet-and-salty cheese experiments, this variety promises to be especially distinctive. The mild cheddar is studded with raisins and dates along with real toffee pieces. It could turn out to be a standout favorite or a surprising misstep, but either way, we’re eager to sample it.
Turkey and Stuffing En Croute
If you’re the type who embraces holiday dining well ahead of the calendar, this Trader Joe’s pick does just that with flair. White meat turkey paired with a tender cornbread stuffing is tucked into a crisp puff pastry crust and prepared straight from the oven. Whether you want a simple main course for your Thanksgiving spread or a quick, seasonally appropriate supper for snug evenings at home, a slice alongside a touch of cranberry sauce is sure to put you in the holiday mood.
