Get into the holiday spirit with a gummy Peelerz advent calendar.

This Peelerz gummy calendar is one of the cheapest offerings at $5.50. It includes 24 surprise, holiday-themed gummy candies to enjoy in the lead-up to Christmas.

Pick it up now and set it aside for kids (or yourself) for December.

The Specially Selected caramel-apple and apple-berry blossoms could potentially pass for homemade.

These flaky pastry desserts come in caramel-apple (Northern Spy apples and cream caramel) and apple-berry (Northern Spy apples, wild blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.

Get ahead of holiday baking by keeping deep-dish pie crusts in your freezer.

All season long, Aldi is keeping its deep-dish pie crusts stocked in the freezer section for all your baking needs. A deep-dish crust is ideal for the thick layers of a chocolate-cream pie or a loaded apple pie.

Each pack of two crusts is $2.50

Add flair to salads, pasta dishes, and more with Specially Selected balsamic-vinegar glaze.

A balsamic glaze can help you upgrade your meals all season long.

At Aldi, choose from classic balsamic-vinegar or strawberry flavors, either of which can add a sweet yet tangy boost to everything from pizza to pasta to salads.

Each 8.5-ounce bottle is $2.50

Make a boozy charcuterie board with Specially Selected’s alcohol-inspired cheddar assortment.

For something unique, start with one of these 6-ounce blocks of alcohol-infused cheddars for $4.50 each.

Choose from flavors like cheddar soaked in imperial stout (pair with pretzels or beer bread) and cheddar soaked in petite syrah (pair with crackers and fruit). Maybe try building out a brunch or dessert board with the espresso-martini-soaked cheddar.

Give your chips a seasonal boost with Park Street Deli hot-honey or cranberry-jalapeño dips.

Whether you’re shopping for something to bring to a festive gathering or you want some unique snacks to look forward to after work, consider trying Aldi’s latest Park Street Deli dips.

They come in spicy hot-honey or zesty cranberry-jalapeño flavors, and each 8-ounce tub costs $2.80. Both can pair with your favorite chips or veggies, though the cranberry-jalapeño may be especially festive on a turkey sandwich.

Prep cocktails and mocktails with Specially Selected winter juices.

These can also be used in wintery smoothies. (Dark-chocolate and cherry smoothie, anyone?)

These 32-ounce Specially Selected juices come in three flavors — cranberry, pomegranate, and black cherry — for $4.50 each.

Whip up a quick, crowd-pleasing appetizer with the Appetitos everything franks in a blanket.

Each box of 12, available for $4.30, features mini-franks wrapped in flaky puff pastry, then topped with everything-bagel-style seasoning.

You can expect to find these bite-size appetizers in the freezer section after November 4.

Get a taste of summer, even in November, with Fremont crab or lobster cakes

Just because the temps are dropping doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy a taste of summer.

Aldi is set to begin stocking these frozen Fremont seafood cakes, available in crab or lobster, on November 4. Serve these as-is with tartar sauce, aioli, or slaw, or use them as a filling for salads, sandwiches, or tacos.

A bag of five cakes costs $5.

Choceur dark-chocolate-covered cranberries can be fun on a charcuterie board.

Cranberries are often pigeonholed into sauce for Thanksgiving, but they are a delicious fruit you can enjoy in many other ways.

Take, for instance, these dark-chocolate-covered cranberries set to be available at Aldi starting November 11.

Each tart, tangy cranberry is coated in rich dark chocolate for a fun snack. A 10-ounce package is $5.

Satisfy early cravings for Thanksgiving dinner with Clancy’s turkey-stuffing or garlic-mashed wavy chips.

Each 9.5-ounce bag of chips costs just over $2 and comes in either turkey-stuffing or garlic-mashed-potato flavors.

These can be eaten on their own, though the turkey-stuffing chips would be a fun match for the cranberry-jalapeño dip.

Gingerbread mini muffins can be an easy seasonal breakfast.

For the days you’re rushing out the door, grabbing a pack of these seasonal mini muffins can help power you through the morning.

Each box costs $2.75 and contains 20 mini muffins across five individually wrapped bags for extra convenience.

Give your hot cocoa a flavor boost with seasonal marshmallows.

A fun pick could be these seasonal Specially Selected marshmallows, which come in peppermint or salted-caramel flavors starting November 25. Each 4.5-ounce bag is just under $4.

Lean into festive flavors with Bakeshop gingerbread sandwich cookies.

Available starting November 25, the Bakeshop-brand gingerbread sandwich cookies can be a solid choice for potlucks and holiday parties — or for just snacking solo.

You can even upgrade these, too, by adding a caramel drizzle or by dunking them in chocolate.
