Gingerbread is a Christmastime classic, and these $5, lightly-glazed scones look like they would pair perfectly with a scoop of ice cream — or even a cup of coffee.

Specially Selected Mini Cakes With Apple Cider Sauce

For less than $5, I’m honestly not sure why I didn’t put these mini cakes with the most indulgent-looking cider sauce in my cart after I snapped the picture for the sake of this article. Regret has set in.

Sundae Shoppe Gelato Cups

Boxes of Sundae Shoppe gelato cups in clear plastic containers are displayed on a metal freezer shelf. Flavors include pistachio (green box) and triple chocolate (purple box).

Any time Aldi has the gelato cups, I get sucked in. They’re usually right around $3, and they have espresso, hazelnut, and pistachio flavors.

Sundae Shoppe Holiday Character Pops

Three boxes of Sundae Shoppe holiday ice cream pops—Reindeer, Snowman, and Christmas Tree varieties—are displayed in a grocery store freezer. Each box features four pops in festive shapes and flavors.

Macarons are a holiday favorite, but let’s be real: They can be pretty pricey. This box of 18 macarons includes a variety of flavors and only costs $8.

Belmont Chocolate Creme Pie

For fans of chocolate creme pie, it doesn’t get much better than one that costs less than $6.

Mama Cozzi’s Apple Streusel Dessert Pizza

Pumpkin cake rolls are one of the O.G. holiday desserts, and Aldi’s costs about $5. Grab some whipped topping from the freezer section while you’re at it.

Listen, I am not a chocolate cake fan, but for $4 (and for how moist this bundt cake looked), I had to try one of these. I highly recommend you do the same.

Bake Shop Dutch Apple Pie with Cinnamon

A boxed Dutch apple pie with cinnamon is shown through a clear window in the packaging. The label features an image of an apple and green text. The box displays nutritional information and the net weight of 24 oz.

Homemade pie is wonderful, and if you want to go that route, the pie crust and apple pie filling at Aldi are reliable. But for $5, you can buy an already-made, delicious Dutch apple pie there, too.

Specially Selected Belgium Chocolate or Caramel Desserts

With vanilla ice cream? Oh, baby, I’m drooling. A 2-pack of Aldi’s blossoms costs around $3 and is one of the best holiday desserts they offer.

Bake Shop Cherry Pie

If cherry is more your speed, Aldi offers that as a pie option too.
