These Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving Items Are Already On Shelves

Thanksgiving dinner is all about bringing people together, but getting the table ready can be a whole event of its own. From planning the menu to finding the perfect sides and snacks, there’s always something to add to the holiday spread.

Luckily, Trader Joe’s is making things a little easier this season with a lineup of Thanksgiving-inspired finds, including savory snacks, and convenient meal options. Whether you’re hosting dinner or bringing a dish to share, these products are worth looking for on your next grocery run.

Cornbread Muffins

Trader Joe’s Cornbread Muffins offer a convenient way to enjoy classic cornbread without having to bake. Made with sour cream and cream-style corn, they have a moist, tender texture, while whole corn kernels and cornmeal on top add a little extra bite. A touch of honey gives them just the right amount of sweetness. They can be enjoyed straight from the package or warmed up with a little butter. Each 14-ounce package contains four muffins and costs $5.49. They’re available in the bakery section through December.

Turkey & Stuffing En Croute

Not everyone wants to prepare a whole turkey for Thanksgiving, and Trader Joe’s has a convenient alternative. Its Turkey & Stuffing En Croute features a seasoned, boneless turkey breast paired with cornbread stuffing and wrapped in all-butter puff pastry. It serves six to eight people and requires minimal preparation: simply thaw it in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then bake for about an hour until golden brown. Each 40-ounce package costs $16.99, making it an easy option for a holiday dinner without all the work of preparing a whole turkey.

Just Like Your Grandma’s Stuffing Chicken Sausage

Trader Joe’s brings the familiar flavors of Thanksgiving stuffing to the breakfast table with its Just Like Your Grandma’s Stuffing Chicken Sausage. These savory chicken sausages are made with carrots, celery, and caramelized onions, along with aromatic herbs like sage, thyme, and rosemary. They can be quickly heated in the microwave or crisped in a pan, making them an easy option for breakfast with scrambled eggs and pancakes or a seasonal meal between holiday gatherings. Each 12-ounce package contains 12 sausages and costs $4.49. They’re available in the refrigerated section through the end of November. 

Cocoa Truffles With Maple Sugar

For a sweet treat after Thanksgiving dinner, Trader Joe’s Cocoa Truffles With Maple Sugar combine rich chocolate with the cozy sweetness of maple. Inspired by the store’s classic cocoa truffles, these seasonal treats feature maple sugar and natural flavors for an extra layer of warmth and texture. Each 8.8-ounce golden-brown box costs $4.49 and is available in stores throughout the holiday season. 

Let’s Snack: Thanksgiving Stuffing Seasoned Popcorn and Kettle Chips

Trader Joe’s is bringing the flavors of a classic Thanksgiving stuffing to snack time with two seasonal favorites: Stuffing Seasoned Popcorn and Stuffing Seasoned Kettle Chips. Both are packed with savory herbs inspired by the traditional holiday side dish, but offer different textures. The kettle chips deliver a hearty crunch, making them a great match for leftover turkey sandwiches, while the popcorn offers a lighter, airier bite. Both are also easy additions to a holiday snack spread. The six-ounce bag of kettle chips and five-ounce bag of popcorn each cost $2.99 and can be found in the snack section during stuffing season.

At the end of the day, the holidays are about more than what’s on the table. They’re about slowing down, sharing a good meal, and making memories with the people we love. And really, we don’t have to wait for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year eve to bring everyone together. Any day can be a good excuse to gather around the table!
