Thanksgiving dinner is getting its annual refresh on supermarket shelves, with Trader Joe’s rolling out 18 seasonal products for November 2026 and Costco bringing back bakery favourites and adding Thanksgiving shortcuts — and the prices show how the holiday table is changing.
Trader Joe’s November line-up, reported on November 5, leans hard into autumn flavours and Thanksgiving help. Its seasonal Maple Pecan Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate costs $9.99 for a 32-ounce bottle — two parts water or milk to one part concentrate — while a sparkling apple elderflower juice, at $3.99, offers a non-alcoholic celebratory drink for the table. The list also includes Thanksgiving-themed popcorn, advent calendars and foods and desserts to serve at Thanksgiving dinner, according to Dining and Cooking, which compiled the 18 products to look for this month.
Costco’s November finds, reported on November 7, cover the opposite ends of the budget. Kirkland’s cream cheese–frosted cinnamon rolls are back in the bakery at about $13 for six, and Poppi’s seasonal Cranberry Fizz is back at roughly $20 for 18 cans. For the Thanksgiving table itself, Kooshy’s stovetop stuffing brings sourdough to the table for about $10 for three packs, while a Spanish ham covers the premium end. A maple pecan coffee cake in the fall bakery line-up is priced from $12.99 to $14.99 depending on the warehouse, and a new Bulletproof High Protein Iced Coffee works out at about $1.67 a glass before milk, at about $30 for 18 servings.
Coffee prices are climbing into Christmas
The coffee on the Thanksgiving table is getting dearer. In Sweden, filter coffee has become 17 kronor more expensive per kilo on average in a single month, according to a Matpriskollen price review reported by TV4 on November 7 — with the largest single increase, Zoégas Skånerost at Hemköp, up 26.81 kronor per kilo, almost 18% in a month. The most expensive coffee in the review is Zoégas Mollbergs at ICA Nära, at 198.19 kronor per kilo. Matpriskollen’s founder, Ulf Mazur, told TV4 that coffee drinkers will have to live with the new price level over Christmas and New Year and a bit into next year, driven by higher world-market arabica prices and historically low global stocks.
Costco shoppers in the US are seeing the same pressure in a different form: a San Francisco Bay Holiday Signature Blend Coffee, a 32-ounce whole-bean medium roast, is listed at $22.99, with $5.70 off during the savings event, according to RetailShout. Costco’s November savings event runs from October 19 to November 15, 2026, so the window for those deals closes this weekend.
What to buy now
The practical advice from both retailers’ November lists is the same: the seasonal items are limited, and the Thanksgiving shortcuts sell out. Shoppers planning the table should pick up the stuffing, the coffee cake and the seasonal drinks now, while the savings event is still running, and check their local warehouse or store for availability — prices and availability vary by location. The holiday table this year is a mix of the familiar and the new: cinnamon rolls and coffee cake, sourdough stuffing and Spanish ham, and a cold brew that tastes of maple and pecan.
