10 Trader Joe’s Fall Foods Worth Adding to Your Cart

Trader Joe’s shelves are filling up with the flavors of fall, from pumpkin and butternut squash to maple and warm spices. But with so many seasonal products appearing at once, it can be difficult to know which ones deserve space in your cart. These 10 picks offer a mix of sweet treats, easy meals, snacks, and cozy seasonal staples worth looking for on your next Trader Joe’s run.

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese

This seasonal freezer favorite combines macaroni and cheese with butternut squash purée and autumnal spices. Trader Joe’s has noted that the dish consistently ranks among its popular seasonal products, with customers even buying enough to keep in their freezers. It works as an easy meatless main dish or a comforting side when you don’t want to cook from scratch.

Spiced Cider

Trader Joe’s Spiced Cider has earned a particularly strong following, even taking the top spot in the beverage category of the 2025 Customer Choice Awards. It can be served chilled or warmed, making it an easy addition to everything from a casual fall breakfast to a holiday gathering. Because it’s a seasonal product, its arrival in stores is one of those signs that fall has officially begun at Trader Joe’s.

Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix

If you want an easy way to bring pumpkin flavor into your kitchen, Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix is an obvious fall pick. The mix can be used for muffins or a loaf of pumpkin bread, making it handy for weekend breakfasts, lunchboxes, or an afternoon snack. Trader Joe’s currently features the mix among its pumpkin-season offerings.

Maple Leaf Cookies

Maple Leaf Cookies are a longtime seasonal favorite for shoppers who like their fall flavors in cookie form. The crisp maple-flavored cookies are shaped like little leaves, making them particularly fun to serve with coffee, tea, or a fall dessert spread. They’re also an easy grab-and-go treat when you want something sweet without turning on the oven.

Pumpkin Ravioli

Pumpkin ravioli is an easy way to bring fall flavors to the dinner table without making homemade pasta. The seasonal filled pasta pairs well with a simple brown-butter sauce, sage, Parmesan, or a light cream sauce. Keep an eye on availability, though, since Trader Joe’s notes that seasonal products can come and go from stores throughout the season.

Maple Brown Butter Flavored Almonds

These limited-time almonds combine roasted nuts with sweet maple and brown-butter flavor for a snack that feels distinctly autumnal. Trader Joe’s highlighted them as a fall item and described them as a product worth finding when they arrive in stores. They’re easy to keep on hand for snacking, serving with a cheese board, or adding a little crunch to salads and desserts.

Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake

For an easy fall dessert, the Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake brings pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove together in a small frosted cake. Trader Joe’s currently lists it as a limited-time product, making it a convenient option when you want something seasonal without baking an entire cake yourself. It serves six, so it works especially well for a small gathering or family dessert.

Pumpkin Bisque

A bowl of pumpkin soup is an easy way to turn fall produce and flavors into a cozy meal. Trader Joe’s current fall roundup specifically includes Pumpkin Bisque among its seasonal offerings. Pair it with crusty bread, a grilled cheese sandwich, or a simple salad for an easy lunch or dinner.

Fall Scented Candle Trio

Not everything worth grabbing at Trader Joe’s is something you eat. The Fall Scented Candle Trio is a seasonal home item currently listed among the store’s offerings, giving shoppers an inexpensive way to bring autumn scents indoors. At $9.99 for the trio, according to Trader Joe’s current product listing, it can also be a fun seasonal addition without committing to a large candle.

Cinnamon Powdered Sugar Mini Donuts

If you have a weakness for seasonal bakery finds, keep an eye out for Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Powdered Sugar Mini Donuts. The store’s current fall roundup highlights them as a new seasonal arrival, with stores beginning to receive them in early September. They’re bite-sized, sweet, and especially well suited to serving alongside coffee for a simple fall breakfast or snack.
