Is it really a party without a dip? Can you truly binge-watch your favorite show without one? And is it even a holiday spread if there’s no dip in sight? We think not.

If you’re after an easy, ready-to-eat dip, Trader Joe’s has you covered. With options like the new Chicken Uncured Bacon Ranch Dip or the ever-popular Vegan Caramelized Onion Dip, TJ’s offers so many delicious choices that it can be tough to pick just one. But now, the store has brought back a fan-favorite seasonal dip that might just make your decision even harder.

Trader Joe’s Sweet Cannoli Dip

For many cannoli lovers, the best part of the dessert is the creamy filling. That sweet, velvety mixture of ricotta and cream cheeses, flavored with vanilla and sugar, is so irresistible it eventually stepped out of the pastry and became its own thing: cannoli dip. Perfect for pairing with apples, strawberries, cookies, pretzels, or even broken cannoli shells, it’s a versatile treat.

Trader Joe’s version of cannoli dip is so popular that it frequently sells out, especially since it’s only available during the holidays. It’s a crowd-pleaser on buffet tables and dessert trays alike, and Instagram’s @traderjoesobsessed recently announced its much-anticipated return.

“Hear me out…the butter almond thins with this and fresh raspberries,” one follower suggested. Another chimed in with pro-level advice: “It’s really good mixed with mini chocolate chips and apple slices for dipping!”

But Shannon Fong, the voice behind the Instagram account, had an entirely different, and dare we say, brilliant, dipping idea. Her recommendation for pairing the dip? Trader Joe’s Hold the Cone Waffle Cone Tips filled with dark chocolate. One follower even thanked her for “sounding the alarm” on this genius combo.

We have to agree—it’s a pretty genius idea. Both the Sweet Cannoli Dip and the cone tips are officially on our shopping list for our next Trader Joe’s run—but we'll have to hurry. Some fans are already stocking up on this "must-try." One fan commented, "Took a trip just to stock up on the dip today. Bought 5 tubs. No regrets."
