What’s New at Trader Joe’s in November? Maple Pecan Cold Brew, Caramel Flan & More

ICYMI, pecan arguably dethroned pumpkin on the coffee front this year. (Even Starbucks had two fall drinks starring the nutty flavor, the Pecan Oatmilk Cortado and Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte.) Here, natural pecan flavor, maple syrup, nutmeg and cinnamon unite to elevate your morning joe.

P.S.: One bottle of concentrate makes eight 12-ounce servings.

Tangy, rich and ripe with holiday cheer, this blend of cream cheese, ricotta and sour cream is just right for an impromptu snack and crowd-pleasing charcuterie board alike. Sweet orange purée curbs the tartness of the cranberries just right. Slather it on a bagel, dunk into it with veggies or use it in place of mayo on a turkey sandwich.

These minis are as adorable as they are delectable. Crafted in Canada, the tarts are teeming with a buttery-sweet filling made from maple syrup. It only takes a few minutes in the oven (or air fryer) to revive their gooey consistency. Might I suggest pairing it with TJ's Salted Maple Ice Cream?

Don't confuse this with typical hot cocoa mix. The canister contains high-end Colombian chocolate, made from small chunks of Colombian cacao, sugar, cocoa butter, natural vanilla flavor and a sunflower oil emulsifier. Stirred into hot milk, it transforms into a soul-soothing elixir you'll crave all winter long.

Whether you're looking for a quick solo dinner or a fuss-free holiday appetizer, this salad fits the bill. Think a base of shredded Romaine, peppery radicchio and hearty kale, paired with sharp white cheddar cheese, fried onion pieces, garlic croutons and sweet onion vinaigrette. Wash it down with French onion soup to up the ante.

If you want to taste autumn without a flurry of warm spices and pumpkin in the way, there's this nutty granola. The oat clusters are zhuzhed with sweet maple syrup, rich tahini, crispy sesame seeds, earthy almonds and zingy crystallized ginger. Snack on it straight from the bag, pair it with turmeric-kissed milk or use it on Greek yogurt.

Did you know that Bourbon vanilla is named for Bourbon Island, an island in the Indian Ocean now known as Réunion? It's famous for its full, robust flavor—meaning it can elevate your holiday desserts with ease. Not only is it a shoo-in for topping cookies and cakes, but you can also use it in oatmeal, coffees, waffles and cocktails.

This new Trader Joe's product would be a fizzy, bright addition to any big-batch cocktail, punch bowl or mocktail bar. The bubbly water gets a modest splash of cranberry juice, a touch of sugar and a dash of ginger extract to become fully Santa-approved.

This holiday, put the booze on your plate instead of in your glass. The sharp, savory cheese is spruced up with none other than bright, bubbly Champagne and dry, fruity Marc de Champagne brandy, making it a stellar match for green apples, toasted baguette, onion jam and bacon—and that's just for starters.

Creamy Neufchâtel cheese (which is similar to cream cheese, for the uninitiated) meets spicy piquillos, jalapeños, fire-roasted peppers and a sugary, acidic chili sauce to create an appetizer that checks all the boxes. Available all fall long, it's begging to be slathered on crostini, crackers, pretzels and the like.

These six-ingredient gems are impossibly elegant for being store-bought. All you have to do is keep them in the fridge, then dramatically invert the flans onto pretty plates to serve. Finish each one with fresh berries and a dollop of crème fraîche, if you're feeling fancy.

It's a Mocktail Girl Christmas, if you ask me. This is a zero-proof alternative for sparkling blush bevs like brut rosé. It starts with slow-steeped black and herbal teas, which are then mixed with dealcoholized white wine, sugar and bubbles. Notes include hibiscus, rose hip and black currant.
