If you’re one of those people who struggle to wait for December to start celebrating the winter holidays, we’re right there with you. Luckily, though, most stores declare the start of the holiday season as Nov. 1 (sometimes even earlier) with Christmas tree-shaped candies, holiday cookies, and even Advent calendars hitting shelves.
Aldi has certainly gotten into the holiday spirit with its seasonal products, including its panettone, pfeffernusse, and eggnog, hitting shelves this week. While those items will be around all November and December long, it’s the weekly Finds that you’ll have to keep an eye out for, with everything from Thanksgiving must-haves to holiday treats available in November. Here are the 10 products we’re stocking up on.
