Affordable Holiday Items Offering Excellent Value at Aldi, Priced Under $10
Whether you're yet to commence your holiday shopping or still need a few items, Aldi is here to assist. The supermarket chain is more popular than ever these days, and a glimpse at some of its offerings for the 2024 holiday season makes it clear why. Aldi's shelves are brimming with must-have appetizers for a gathering, as well as festive desserts you wouldn't want to miss out on. Even if you're not hosting a holiday get-together this year, you'll find plenty of thoughtful gifts for those who are. Keep reading for our list of the best Aldi holiday products you can grab for less than $10!
Racine Danish Almond Kringle
If you're an Aldi shopper, you're likely familiar with this beloved almond kringle. Though the oval-shaped Danish pastry isn't sold at every Aldi location, if your local store carries it, we suggest you snag (at least) one for $6.49 ASAP. The holiday treat is made up of flaky, buttery dough topped with plenty of sweet icing and slivered almonds. Pro tip: There's also a raspberry version that's just as delicious.
Park Street Deli Mediterranean Tapas Tray
Don't sweat the appetizers for your next party with this loaded Mediterranean tapas tray. At just $9.99, this item is a bargain and perfect for feeding a crowd during the holiday season. It features marinated feta cubes, pitted Castelvetrano olives, lemon feta antipasti, and sweet cherry peppers. Serve with some pita chips and hummus, and the first course is all set!
Emporium Selection Honey and Pecan Baking Brie
This item hit stores earlier this week, and is the perfect example of a show-stopping appetizer that requires almost no effort on your part. This award-winning cheese dish consists of a creamy Brie (imported from France, naturally) topped with crunchy pecans and a golden honey drizzle, and it even comes with a ceramic dish you can reuse once you're done. For $7.49, it's a total steal.
Choceur Christmas Bark Sampler
Snag this $3.99 Christmas bark sampler as a hostess gift, stocking stuffer, or a present for yourself. Each box includes three pieces of chocolate bark in different flavors—cookies and cream, dark chocolate with festive stripes, and chocolate with candy gems—and is bound to impress.
Specially Selected Spinach Creme Fraiche Flatbread
Who doesn't love a gourmet flatbread? This one, which retails for $4.99, is topped with tomato sauce, onion, dollops of rich creme fraiche, Emmentaler cheese, spinach, and mushrooms. To serve, just pop the flatbread in the oven for a few minutes and slice it once it cools so your guests can dig in. No one ever has to know it's an Aldi find!
Specially Selected Cold Smoked Salmon Gravlax
Believe it or not, smoked salmon is always useful, especially during the holiday season. The salmon itself is responsibly farmed in Norway before being cured, smoked, and seasoned. Serve it on top of a latke for Hanukkah, with bagels and cream cheese as part of a holiday brunch spread, or atop canapes with a dollop of creme fraiche and chives if you're feeling fancy. At $3.59 per package, you could buy a few to serve all of your holiday needs.
Emporium Selection Festive Cheese Truckle Assortment
On store shelves as of earlier this month, this Emporium Selection cheese is one easy and inexpensive way to elevate your charcuterie board this winter. This particular Christmas tree variety is packed with cubes of whiskey Cheddar cheese, but you can also snag other cheeses (in fun shapes) such as caramelized onion Cheddar, and Cheddar with cracked black pepper. Each variety retails for $4.29.
Benton's Candy Cane Sandwich Creme Cookies
Consider these cookies a festive (and less expensive) take on Oreos. Each one features candy-cane-spiked creme stuffed between two chocolate cookie halves. These treats are perfect to leave out for Santa with a glass of milk, or to snack on during your tree decorating party. At $2.89 per package, these cookies are not to be missed.
Friendly Farms Eggnog
For some, the holidays haven't truly arrived until they've had a glass of eggnog. Luckily, Aldi sells its own version of the festive drink for $2.79 per carton. The eggnog is made with ultra-pasteurized grade A milk, and is delightfully rich and creamy with familiar notes of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Pro tip: Aldi also sells a vegan eggnog made with oat milk that tastes very similar.
Before you dismiss Aldi's wine collection, consider savoring this $9.99 Fuzion Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina. This wine boasts a dry, rich body and echoes tones of succulent black fruits. Although it might not rival your all-time favorite vintages, it complements traditional holiday fare such as grilled beef, lamb chops, and mushroom risotto, without breaking the bank. Here's to affordable delight!
