In 2026, the warehouse club has rolled out everything from its own Kirkland Signature energy drink and decadent new bakery treats to Korean skincare, Japanese hair care, protein-packed drinks, and internationally inspired snacks. These new Costco products 2026 shoppers can look for include both nationwide releases and regional finds that could take a little luck to track down.

Because Costco inventory changes constantly, there’s no guarantee every new arrival will stick around. But if you spot one of these 16 products at your local warehouse, you may want to take a closer look.

Kirkland Signature Sparkling Energy Drink

Kirkland Sparkling Energy Drink Variety Pack, 24 cans. Flavors include Tropical, Orange, and Peach. Box highlights zero sugar, vitamins, electrolytes, and 200 mg caffeine per can. Cans are white with fruit graphics.
Costco

Costco isn’t content with simply selling some of the biggest energy drink brands — now Kirkland Signature wants in on the action, too. The new Kirkland Signature Sparkling Energy Drink comes in a 24-pack of 12-ounce cans with three flavors: Tropical, Orange, and Peach.

The launch puts Costco’s house brand into direct competition with the national energy drink brands already lining its shelves. For shoppers, the big question will be whether Kirkland can deliver the caffeine fix and flavor they want at the kind of value that has made so many of the warehouse club’s private-label products popular.

Fresh Southern-Style Buttermilk Biscuits

Costco’s bakery section has a knack for producing oversized temptations, and its new Southern-style buttermilk biscuits are no exception.

Introduced in August 2026, the biscuits are reportedly Costco’s first fresh, in-house bakery take on the Southern staple rather than a frozen product from the warehouse freezers. They’re made with real buttermilk and sold in hefty 10-count packages, with a reported launch price of $6.99.

That’s enough biscuits to build breakfast sandwiches, smother a few in sausage gravy, or even turn them into an easy strawberry shortcake. As always, prices and availability can vary by warehouse.

Twice-Baked Cinnamon-Filled Croissants

Apparently, Costco looked at its already-popular croissants and decided they needed more sugar.

The new Twice-Baked Cinnamon-Filled Croissants are stuffed with cinnamon cream, topped with cinnamon streusel, and finished with a syrup glaze. The six-pack was introduced at a reported $9.99 and had appeared at hundreds of Costco warehouses by August.

Twice baking helps create a different texture from Costco’s standard buttery croissants, while all that cinnamon filling and streusel pushes these firmly into dessert-for-breakfast territory. They’re probably not an everyday purchase, but that’s never stopped Costco bakery fans before.

Better Than Ramen

Costco

Better Than Bouillon and A-Sha Foods have joined forces for a Costco-exclusive product with a pretty confident name: Better Than Ramen.

The limited-edition noodle kit combines A-Sha’s Taiwanese-style air-dried, never-fried noodles with flavors inspired by Better Than Bouillon. It began arriving at select Costco warehouses in the Southeast on Aug. 3, 2026.

Because this one is regional and limited-edition, don’t assume you’ll find it on every Costco run. But for instant noodle fans who want something a little different from the usual fried ramen brick, it’s certainly worth keeping an eye out for.

Scott & Jon’s Honey Sesame Salmon Superfood Bowls

Costco

The freezer aisle has another quick-lunch option thanks to Scott & Jon’s Honey Sesame Salmon Superfood Bowls.

The frozen meals arrived at Costco locations in Texas and much of the Southeast in a Costco-exclusive four-pack. According to the company, each bowl contains salmon along with 17 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber.

They’re another example of Costco giving a smaller prepared-food brand a chance to reach a much larger audience — and giving members another alternative to buying lunch out. Availability is regional, though, so shoppers outside the initial markets may be out of luck.

Amy’s Cheese Enchiladas and Bean & Cheese Burritos

Box of Amy’s Cheese Enchilada frozen meal, featuring an image of an enchilada with cheese, corn, and black beans. Packaging highlights that it’s gluten free and made with organic ingredients.
Army’s Kitchen

Amy’s Kitchen isn’t new, but its Costco footprint got considerably bigger in 2026.

The frozen-food brand expanded into more than 150 Costco warehouses across major markets including Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Texas. Costco shoppers can find special club-size packages of Amy’s Cheese Enchiladas and Bean & Cheese Burritos rather than the smaller formats typically found at supermarkets.

For longtime Amy’s fans, buying a larger Costco pack could be a convenient way to keep easy meatless meals in the freezer — assuming, of course, your local warehouse is part of the rollout.

Lay’s Thinly Sliced Taro Chips With Lime

Potato chips? Not this time.

Lay’s Thinly Sliced Taro Chips With Lime swap the brand’s usual potatoes for slices of taro root, giving Costco shoppers a chance to try a snack that had already attracted attention in China before reaching the U.S.

The Costco-exclusive launch was reportedly sold in bags of roughly 16.9 ounces for an introductory price of $6.99, though warehouse prices can vary. Between the taro base and lime flavor, these are a far cry from the enormous bag of plain potato chips you might normally toss into your Costco cart.

Coco5 Coconut Water-Based Electrolyte Drinks

Seven bottles of Cocos 5 flavored coconut water in various colors and flavors, including lemon, pineapple, passion fruit, coconut, orange, cherry, and grape, arranged on a black marble surface.
Tasting Table

Costco’s beverage aisle is getting crowded with hydration options, and Coco5 joined the lineup in July 2026.

Instead of a conventional sports-drink base, Coco5 uses coconut water in its electrolyte beverage. The company also has some serious basketball connections: Its ownership group includes NBA figures such as Devin Booker, Charles Barkley, Derrick Rose, and D’Angelo Russell.

That doesn’t automatically make what’s inside the bottle better for you, of course. But Costco’s reach gives the athlete-backed brand exposure to a much bigger group of everyday shoppers beyond the professional-sports world where it built some of its early reputation.

Protein Pop Plus

If the thought of another thick, milky protein shake makes you groan, Protein Pop Plus is taking a very different approach.

The carbonated clear-protein beverage launched at Costco in February 2026 with a hefty 30 grams of protein per can, according to the company. Unlike creamy shakes, it’s designed more like a fizzy canned beverage.

Even more notable is the scale of the rollout. The company announced that Protein Pop Plus would reach all 607 U.S. Costco locations operating at the time, giving it one of the broadest debuts on this list.

Mighty Spark Chicken Snack Stick Variety Packs

Beef doesn’t have a monopoly on the meat-stick aisle.

Mighty Spark expanded its Costco presence in summer 2026 with 12-count variety packs of chicken snack sticks. According to the company, the rollout reaches more than 600 Costco warehouses nationwide.

Exactly what you find depends on where you shop. Regional assortments include combinations such as Original with Honey Jalapeño or Original with Teriyaki. That makes checking the package particularly important if there’s one flavor you’re hoping to try.

Once Upon a Coconut Coconut Water + Chocolate

A can of Once Upon a Coconut coconut water with chocolate flavor, surrounded by chocolate pieces, coconut, and a box showing it’s a 12 pack. The can label highlights “Dairy Free Hydration.”
Once Upon a Coconut Coconut

Chocolate and coconut are a classic dessert combination. Chocolate and coconut water? That’s a little more unexpected.

Once Upon a Coconut brought its Coconut Water + Chocolate beverage to Costco in 2026, with warehouses across Florida, Texas, and parts of the Southeast receiving 12-can club packs. The company describes the drink as dairy-free and Non-GMO Project Verified.

It won’t be available everywhere, but it’s easily one of the more unusual drinks to hit Costco shelves this year — particularly for shoppers who are bored with plain coconut water.

Clean Cult Fresh Linen Laundry Detergent Sheets

Cleancut

Not every interesting Costco newcomer belongs in the pantry.

Clean Cult brought its Fresh Linen Laundry Detergent Sheets to Costco in what the company called its first nationwide warehouse-club launch of the format. Instead of lugging home another enormous plastic jug of liquid detergent, shoppers get lightweight sheets designed to dissolve in the wash.

The product was introduced at a reported $22.99, although Costco prices can vary. Beyond convenience, detergent sheets also eliminate the bulky plastic bottle associated with conventional liquid detergent — a notable change for a retailer famous for selling just about everything in very large packages.

KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Skincare

Five skincare products labeled “SEOUL 1988” in red and green text stand in a row on a beige surface against a light beige background. Each container is a different shape and size.
K-SECRET

Costco’s beauty section continues to look a little more like an international beauty store.

Korean skincare brand KSECRET SEOUL 1988 made a major Costco debut in May 2026, reaching 227 warehouses nationwide, according to the company. The brand combines ingredients associated with traditional Korean skincare with modern formulations.

The rollout is another sign that shoppers don’t necessarily need to visit a specialty beauty retailer to encounter K-beauty products anymore. Just check exactly which KSECRET product or bundle your warehouse carries, since Costco assortments can vary by region.

HONEYQUE Honey Protein Hair Care

Two amber-colored pump bottles labeled “HONEYQUE.” One bottle is marked “Shampoo,” and the other “Treatment.” Both have white and beige labels with minimalistic design, standing side by side against a white background.
Palace Beauty Galleria

Korean skincare isn’t the only Asian beauty category gaining ground at Costco.

Japanese hair-care brand HONEYQUE launched products from its Honey Protein line at Costco nationwide in July 2026. The line is marketed toward hair exposed to things like coloring, bleaching, heat styling, and everyday damage.

For Costco shoppers, the interesting part may be less about any individual beauty claim and more about the warehouse club’s expanding selection. Products and brands that once required a trip to a specialty store or an online order are increasingly turning up alongside the giant shampoo bottles at Costco.

Laifen SE High-Speed Hair Dryer

Premium high-speed hair dryers can get painfully expensive, which makes Costco’s addition of the Laifen SE worth watching.

Laifen launched the SE High-Speed Hair Dryer in select U.S. Costco warehouses in July 2026, describing the move as its largest U.S. retail expansion to date. The dryer competes in a category where shoppers can easily spend hundreds of dollars on premium models.

Whether it’s actually a bargain depends on the current warehouse price and what’s included in Costco’s bundle. If you’re comparison shopping, make sure you’re looking at the identical model, attachments, and warranty rather than price alone.

Physician’s Choice 60 Billion Probiotic Advanced

Physician’s Choice 60 Billion Probiotic container and box. The packaging highlights 10 diverse strains, 60 billion CFUs, daily digestive support, and prebiotics. Non-GMO verified, 30 capsules per bottle.
Physician’s Choice

Physician’s Choice gave its 60 Billion Probiotic Advanced a huge Costco rollout on Aug. 3, 2026.

According to the company, the supplement launched at 625 U.S. warehouses in a 75-capsule bottle with a stated introductory price of $39.99. The formula contains multiple probiotic strains along with prebiotics and a postbiotic.

As with any supplement, shoppers shouldn’t mistake what’s printed on a package for a guarantee of specific health results. Still, the sheer size of this Costco launch makes it one of the year’s more notable additions to the warehouse club’s supplement section.

What Will Stick Around?

Costco’s 2026 newcomers show just how far the warehouse club has moved beyond giant boxes of familiar grocery-store products. Kirkland Signature is venturing into new territory with its own energy drink, while international beauty brands, smaller food companies, and unusual snacks are getting valuable Costco shelf space.

But spotting something once doesn’t mean it’ll become a permanent warehouse fixture. Products like Better Than Ramen and Scott & Jon’s salmon bowls have limited regional rollouts, while Costco’s famously fast-changing inventory means even nationwide products can come and go.

So if one of these catches your eye, checking your local warehouse sooner rather than later may be a good idea. Just don’t blame us when that supposedly quick Costco trip ends with three new snacks, a hair dryer, and a 10-pack of biscuits in your cart.
