Thanksgiving means a lot of different things to celebrants across the country. Of course, you and your family may be most excited to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day in the morning. Perhaps you're making a game plan with your cousins on what to buy your grandparents for Christmas. Maybe you're just hanging out with family to sip the apple sangria readily available on the counter. Of course, the main course, no pun intended, of Thanksgiving Day dinner. Complete with a turkey (or Tofurky), mashed potatoes, and America's favorite sloppy side dish... green bean casserole. In my house, Thanksgiving means that I return from my city life to the suburbs of Ohio with Trader Joe's snacks in hand. (Hey, it beats making mac 'n' cheese from scratch at 6 a.m.) If Trader Joe's is your go-to destination for Thanksgiving dinner planning, you may wonder when their holiday items start rolling out. Even though their pumpkin and Halloween products are out on full display, more fall products are certainly on the way. Here's what we know about Trader Joe's Thanksgiving items and when they might come out.
What Thanksgiving products are currently available at Trader Joe's?
According to Instagram user @traderjoesnew, some Thanksgiving staples have already shown up on shelves.
Of course, TJ's has its beloved cornbread stuffing mix available in spades for $4.99. Additionally, TJ's does sell gluten-free stuffing for all the GF people out there, thank the grocery store gods. Cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, condensed mushroom soup, fried onion pieces, and "Everything But The Leftovers" seasoning blend have also been spotted.
A Reddit user also started finding TJ's frozen side dishes, including the famous four-cheese scalloped potatoes.
According to @traderjoesobsessed, Trader Joe's locations are also starting to roll out whole fresh cranberries, butternut squash cubes, cut delicata squash, and roasted vegetable packs.
When can we expect more Thanksgiving products at Trader Joe's?
One Reddit user asked when the Thanksgiving Stuffing Seasoned Kettle Chips would make their return. Reddit user CookieButterLovers responded stating they "usually start to return around the last week of October."
Additionally, the beloved cornbread crisps will be returning to stores beginning October 23, according to a Reddit user claiming to be a Trader Joe's worker.
If you're looking for a Thanksgiving turkey, @traderjoesnew noted that turkeys will be arriving to Trader Joe's beginning November 9th.
Make sure to ask your local TJ's employees when your personal store might be getting in certain items, of course.
