The $1.29 Trader Joe’s Product We Wait All Year for Is Officially Back

Now that it's November, we've officially moved from Halloween to all things holiday—with a little Thanksgiving in between. From seasonal grocery finds to candy favorites, red and green are popping up everywhere.

And whether we're ready or not, ‘tis the season for Trader Joe’s advent calendar collection to return to stores, too. As always, the grocery chain is rolling out a variety of winter wonderland options, and they cost just $1.29. So far, we’ve spotted six different covers, and shoppers are hopeful that the store will continue releasing more whimsical, winter-themed designs, as it traditionally does.

Trader Joe’s 2024 Milk Chocolate Advent Calendars Are Now Back

There’s a lot to love about Trader Joe’s annual advent calendars. First of all, you can’t beat the price. For $1.29, you have a fun activity to enjoy for the entire month of December. Then, there’s the quality chocolate inside each little door. Each calendar contains 24 sweet treats hidden behind numbered doors. They're festive, seasonally shaped, and made with melt-in-your-mouth cocoa.

Finally, there’s the fun that comes with each different advent calendar. When you’re browsing through this year’s themes, be sure to check out the back of each to see different games, activities, and even baking guides.

Speaking of themes, there are plenty to choose from. According to TJ's product page, each calendar is "designed by our very own, very talented package designers." Some are adorned with snowy countryside scenes, while others have adorable characters or delicious-looking treats and favorite Trader Joe's foods.

But wait, there's more!

Trader Joe's Advent Calendar for Pets

Don't worry pet parents, Trader Joe's has you covered again as well with the return of its specialty (chocolate-free) advent calendars for your loveable dogs and cuddly cats. As the site says, "Behind each window is a petite pouch holding a soft, delectable, grain-free treat. The treats come in a few different shapes and are even tailored to your pets particular palates." Grab yours for $7.99.

Trader Joe's 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar

And if you want to skip the chocolate altogether and don't have a pet, Trader Joe's also brought back its 12 Days of Beauty advent calendar, full of customer-favorite beauty products, including lavender bath salts, a hair mask, a yuzu bath fizzer, body butter, and daily sunscreen—all for $19.99.

There’s quite literally something for everyone to enjoy with this season’s Trader Joe’s advent calendar collection, but they tend to sell out quickly, so get them while you can!
