Aldi Finds That Prove The Chain Knows Winter Starts In November

Winter might not officially kick off until December 21, but Aldi is gearing up early with a new selection of products. From food to decorations to seasonal advent calendars, Aldi is prepared to offer everything you need to ring in the holidays. In fact, some items are already available online, such as the Huntington Home Snow Globe Candle, the Merry Moments Holiday Mini Wreath, and the Merry Moments LED Nostalgic Village House. You can also light up your tabletop with a 2-foot Christmas tree.

Recently, Aldi released October items for a scary-good Halloween party. These included everything from Benton's Spooky Chocolate Sandwich Cremes to Halloween Onesies in both adult and children sizes to seasonal alcohol choices, like mulled wine and Wicked Grove Spiced Plum Hard Cider. There's still time to check out your local Aldi location for these items, but if you're itching for the colder weather that winter brings, you'll be delighted to learn all about Aldi's upcoming finds.

Winternacht Stollen Bites often come in marzipan and apple varieties, and on November 2, they'll be returning to Aldi for $4.99. Winternacht, meaning "winter night" in German, is an Aldi-owned brand. Contrary to how the name "stollen" may sound to Americans, these bites weren't snatched. Rather, stollen bread is a German delicacy that's filled with fruit.

Advent calendars are a great way to count down the days until Christmas, and if you're an avid cheese lover, there's no better way to celebrate than opening each door of this cheese advent calendar to a new variety of European cheese.

To be released in Aldi Store, Bakery, and Winebar varieties, the Merry Moments Holiday Village House will be available for $14.99 on November 8.

Easy and fun for the entire family, the Choceur Hot Cocoa Melting Chocolate Snowman can be melted using hot milk. Each one comes with marshmallows and chocolate drops for flavor, and they sell for $2.49 apiece. These cutesy, white hot chocolate snowmen will be available beginning November 2.

If you're a daily coffee drinker, winter will surely be your season to celebrate.

On November 2, Benton's Candy Cane Sandwich Cremes will be released for $2.69 per box. Much like Oreos, they have a chocolate cookie exterior and are stuffed in the middle with double peppermint creme filling.
