I did one of these back in the fall showing all of the pumpkin and fall items at Trader Joe's have gotten in and

Now it's finally Christmas time

My Trader Joe's was a little behind

Getting in all of the new festive peppermint things and everything like that based on you guys telling me when you're Trader Joe's got them

But it's fine because we finally have it

I'm not bitter so lots to show in this video if you're new and this is the first video you're seeing

I would love if you would subscribe. I know where that better lighting. It is raining right now

I'm gonna post videos every Saturday and I'm also doing vlogmas every single day over my blog channel

So if you want to see some daily vlogs, make sure you're checking those out. So we will just jump right in I have to

Overflowing bags some new items if I've messed up on any of these and something for some reason isn't new

I don't know I base all this off of

My Trader Joe's they put these like snowflake little things beside like the names of the items if it was like a winter thing

So I made the assumption. I don't know

I'm gonna go through a few frozen and refrigerated items first that we can get them back in the fridge

First of all, I picked up two frozen appetizers

I'm real excited about these because I love to host

Like little holiday gatherings and things like that

If you have seen vlogs than you guys probably know but one thing that I love to make

Kind of from I guess just like the bear ingredients are these bacon-wrapped goat cheese stuffed dates, and they are so good

So I haven't tried these yet. We're having a Christmas little gathering here tomorrow

So maybe I'll whip these out and we'll see because these are always the crowd favorite

So I'm almost nervous to it. Try these but if they end up being good

Then it'll save me a lot of time from having to like whip all of these up though

Yeah

I don't know if you guys have made these let me know and then right beside that I also saw this Trader Joe's pimento cheese

Puffs little pastry thing so filled with the cheese uncrewed bacon and caramelized onion

So I don't know a little bit more of a savory option. I'm, ashlyn anything cheese and bacon is gonna be pretty good

Yeah, maybe I'll let those up

I don't know normally when I post things I do like a big cheese

Spread like veggie boar cool little appetizers and like lots of desserts

but tomorrow I think I'm gonna cater this is the most dramatic thing about reception Kim Williams saying this I think I'm going to get

sushi from catch

My favorite restaurant in LA. I just think that would be that would make me so happy but I think a beautiful sushi just

I'm crazy

Okay, but we might make these tuned into Instagram stories and tomorrow's vlog mice to see what we do with that next up

I just got to frozen desserts first. I recently discovered in general these mini hold the cone little ice cream treats

They're just these mini ice cream cones originally

I just gotten like the regular coconut vanilla ice cream and then like the little chocolate part on top and there's tiny bit of chalk

On the bottom. It's amazing the best part

So so excited when I saw that they had these peppermint ones because not only is it peppermint ice cream

But it's a chocolate cone and I prefer chocolate all day long

Anyways, you get eight in a pack as you see yeah done some damage and it's another fun little treat

I usually eat one every other night. They're really good and then next initially

I thought this was just gonna be like, well, it says candy cane Joe Joe's ice cream from afar

I saw this and I thought no peppermint ice cream. I was like typical like whatever

I love that they spiced it up because Joe Joe's are basically they're Oreos if you're unfamiliar

And they already make like a peppermint or candy cane Joe Joe's this time of year that are so good

so this is gonna be like a

Minty cookies and cream type vibe I think and then the last item that goes in the refrigerator

Is this cocoa peppermint almond creamer? So dairy-free this actually thinks pretty flavorful

It's not too often that I make my own like straight-up coffee

Although I got some like winter cake hub type things and I'll show you in a second

So maybe this would be good in that typically at home

I'm making some kind of like latte situation and - fresco

So it'll just be like oat milk and then like the little pod of like the espresso shot

but this time of year is good -

Almost just like instead of sweetening out some stevia or something cuz then it's a little too sweet

I'll just pour in a little bit of this. It adds a nice like slightly chocolate peppermint flavor

I just think it's fun holiday item. I don't know. It's not life-changing life-changing

But if it's enough to keep you making your coffee at home versus buying it out as is the case with me

I'm trying to make myself feel excited about this. So there's been less money on coffee. Although here. We are. Yeah

Those are the cold things next up. I've been eyeing this

I'm thrilled about the existence of this boozy chocolate truffle package

There are four different kinds it shows they have them with gin whiskey rum and Prosecco

I always say it and I got card it like this things taped up

I got carded when I bought it and I was like why I think this also just look super fancy like this would be a

Great, like little gift to give someone you open it

It's a wrapped up all nice and fancy and oh and you get a lot

So there's nine of each kind and you better believe I'm gonna stay here and sample each of them right now. All right

Well, how do I know from which this one is London gin?

I want to spread it out

Maybe if you'd like Jen, that would be okay. All right next Prosecco

It's better for sure, but it's not life changing and I really like white chocolate though next this one has rum effectiveness

It's like my job right now is tasting chocolate on camera

I'm made up I slightly taste rum

Emotionals good, then lots of Muslims the whiskey one. No, it was about one

Mmm-hmm. Well, that was fun

Overall, I would still recommend getting that for like a fun little thing or even just like a gift for someone in front of similar

chocolate

No, this is the one item that I'm not confident if this is in their like winter collection if you will

But I love it. So I'm showing it because this could also be like a really cute gift Bank

It's called this chocolate passport and it's wrapped evoke you basically it's just a stack of chocolate bars from all of these countries

I think this is so creative

If you have anyone in your life who likes chocolate

It's just like a fun little sampling and it's in like a really nice box

So that's just like a cute little almost gift item

I guess next time I picked up a couple tees because I do every now and then like to drink a tea at night this

one

Perplexed me the most it's called candy cane green tea

however

I have had like mint green teas from Trader Joe's before they're like Moroccan mint green tea one so I can't imagine this taste all

That different but I like it's decaf so it'll be perfect for before bed then

Secondly, I got this winter wake up to you, which says a spicy black tea blend with cinnamon and ginger

So those are definitely like winter little spice flavors and says it has orange peels and licorice. I don't know but one clove

Yeah, so I can already like taste so this gun tastes like next to like cake or like Lord loaf

We have a chocolate loaf mix. This is their chocolate peppermint loaf and baked cake mix and then we have it this gingerbread cake mix

Says that it has crystallized ginger pieces in us. I think that'd be interesting

I think I would like that because I like ginger

So for this one, you just need the mix a large egg vegetable oil and water

and then for this one the

ingredients are

The mix 2 large eggs 1/3 of a cup of oil and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar if you have tried them

Let me know it always does I just realize this says that it makes great cookies - and there's a recipe on the side

Oh, that's the recipe for the cookies false alarm. So what's the recipe for the regular?

So if you're making this in like a loaf type thing, it's the mix egg water melted butter. That's what you need

Ok, so you can spice it up multi-purpose mix here maybe in vlogmas. I will make one of those at some point next

Why did I think these were peppermint anything pink? I just assumed peppermint, and I clearly don't read it. I thought these were peppermint

Marshmallows, but they're just mini marshmallows. So still be cute for hot chocolate next up a little like snacky dessert item

I picked up the peppermint pretzel slim. So it says they have a creamy coating and

Sprinkles. All right taste does

Break up not my favorite. But again, I'm not a big white chocolate girl, and that's what you're mostly tasting

Although you do taste the peppermint in there. It's more sweet than in too salty. It's fine

I just wouldn't reach for that over other things like those ice cream cones

Those are the best moving on I'm very intrigued by this. I've never seen anything like this

Maybe I've been living under a rock

But this is called the double chocolate hot cocoa

stirring spoon with

Marshmallows and what you do with this is you just put this spoon into and it says 8 ounce cup of hot milk

Or steamed milk steaming hot milk. That's what it says. And then you stir it until the chocolate melts

So this light creates your hot chocolate so this could even be cool

If you're like, you just want it like once you don't to buy a big pack of like in chocolate or anything like that

So I'm excited to try that next up you guys these are so good

I can crush these I can literally go through this whole thing in like one second. These are elevated Oreos

They're better than the original

I wish they had these year-round or these hat like candy cane pieces and every bite like in the filling is so good

I love these next you can imagine my shock when I returned home and it was going through a hold of this and discovered

The gluten free version was also in my bag

I'm sure I did not buy this because the other day I only I didn't like

Christmas I was looking for these JoJo's and they only had gluten-free once so I bought the glue and free ones not the same hate

To say like I can get on board with a lot of gluten-free stuff

I think a lot of stuff tastes exactly the same. I even prefer some gluten-free things sometimes, however,

This something about it like the cookie. It just did not do it for me

So I in no world would be buying a second box of these

So I've tried to like take inventory of everything here and I think what happened?

I mean you tell me how this happened, but I don't have

Something I thought I'm just picking up off the shelf which were these like gingerbread?

crackers that are so cute and yummy they have like a very like light layer of like

Icing on the back and then they're little mini gingerbread. I think those are really good again

I wouldn't like sit here and like

crush a ton of them at once, but they're fun little festive treat to have around they I

Assume these boxes were somehow beside each other

I know they were kind of far back on the Shelf and like laying down and I guess I didn't pay attention and I picked

Up. This will be returning that but next time I'm there and then lastly on the jojomo

Now you like feel sort of like a sugar crash coming after this

These are dark chocolate covered peppermint jojo's they're try lines. So people look like this they are thick. Oh

My god, it's like a thin mint but better Wow, oh my god

Mmm, alright. Well, yeah that gets a 10 out of 10 for me next

I picked up these gingerbread crisps that I thought could be fun but says these are good for complimenting cheese breads dips and toppings

I kind of thought these would be fun just unlike a cheese board to like toss in as an alternative like

Cracker option if you will they aren't quite large as you can tell then next up back in the fall

I tried they're a little like pumpkin spice coffee and thought it's pretty good

So I thought we would take a chance on their festively flavored coffee celebration coffee cup celebration. I don't know whatever

Oh, it's a variety. I

Was wondering why this box was huge. I'm seeing now that we have five varieties

So you get four of each of all of these flavors. Oh my goodness chocolate mint caramel wintery blend

That's a good one french vanilla and gingerbread. Oh, they're trying to buy coffee is vomit. This makes me so happy chocolate mint coffee

Hello, we're gonna see how that is right next a couple little tins of pink

They're peppermint bark and then jingle jangle

Which is like a little like mix of popcorn and like probably why it looks like pretzels and probably something chocolaty in there

Yeah, milk and dark chocolate mini peanut butter cups dark chocolate enrobed chocolate

Vanilla, Joe Joe's cookies, if anyone understands that let me know milk chocolate candies and then we've got like pretzels

This is the little visual it shows of what it looks like

I got these dark chocolate stars, which are just chocolate covered shortbread cookies. They look really good

I love dark chocolate milk. Chocolate is a white chocolate is no and dark chocolate amazing. So this what we got just some little guys

Mmm a little more bitter than I expected wait

Not that I thought mixed dots mixed thoughts. If you're not into like a really sweet thing. I mean, this is a good thing

I feel like my taste buds are also thrown off from like everything

I've been eating these I feel like you could actually like eat some of and like not

Be sick of it after the first couple bites

But I don't think it's life-changing like the cookie didn't really taste like anything at all another cookie option

I don't typically pick up things from like the little like baked goods area
