The Best Aldi Holiday Items You Can Buy for Less Than $10

Whether you haven’t yet started your holiday shopping or still need to grab a few things, Aldi is here to help. The supermarket chain is more popular than ever these days, and after glancing at some of the brand’s offerings for the 2024 holiday season, it’s not difficult to see why. Aldi’s shelves are stocked with everything from must-have appetizers for a crowd, to festive desserts you don’t want to miss. Even if you’re not hosting a holiday gathering this year, you still can find plenty of thoughtful gifts for those who are. Keep reading for our list of the best Aldi holiday products you can snag 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 all Aldi locations, if your neighborhood store sells ‘em, 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 scrumptious.

Park Street Deli Mediterranean Tapas Tray

Don’t fret over appetizers at your next shindig with this loaded Mediterranean tapas tray. At just $9.99, this item is a bargain and perfect for anyone feeding a crowd this 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 arrived in stores earlier this week, and is the perfect example of a show-stopping appetizer that requires almost zero 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 Crème Fraîche Flatbread

Who doesn’t love a fancy flatbread? This one, which retails for $4.99, is topped with tomato sauce, onion, dollops of rich crème fraîche, 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 always comes in handy, especially during the holiday season. The salmon itself is farmed responsibly 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 canapés 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-pasturized 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.

Fuzion Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Before you turn up your nose at Aldi’s wine selection, we suggest you give this $9.99 bottle of Fuzion Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon a taste. This dry, full-bodied red hails from Argentina, and has notes of ripe black fruits. While this may not be the best wine you’ve ever tasted, it pairs well with holiday dishes such as grilled steak, lamb chops, and mushroom risotto, and costs less than $10. Cheers to that!
