Vanilla Dipped Peppermint Pretzel Stars
For around $3, these vanilla-dipped pretzels have a lot going for them, from the peppermint pieces to the cute star shape.
Cinnamon Star Cookies
One of the highlights of Aldi is the plethora of European-made goodies, and these cookies are one of the store’s imported items. They cost just over $4, and each one is generously iced.
Candy Cane Chocolate Sandwich Creme Cookies
These are Aldi’s version of candy cane-flavored Oreos, but for just over $3. What a steal.
Benton’s Almond Spekulatius
If you haven’t tried Aldi’s Belgium cookies (they offer several different versions), you’re missing out. For just over $2, these Aldi holiday snacks are a no-brainer.
Peppermint Flavored Kettle Corn
This peppermint kettle corn is subtly sweet, and the sugary peppermint dusting isn’t overdone either. For $2.29 a bag, these are a reliable Yuletide snack.

Benton’s Snowman Vanilla Grahams Snack Packs
I bought these for my kids, and I cannot tell a lie: I had a pack, and they were delicious. The vanilla flavor is solid, but you still get that classic graham cracker bite, too. Definitely a keeper.

Choceur Peanut Clusters
Peanut clusters are one of the best Christmastime treats, and Aldi offers both a milk chocolate and dark chocolate version.
Benton’s Mini Waffle Cones
Everyone knows the best part of a Drumstick ice cream cone is the last couple of bites, where the fudge fills the bottom of the waffle cone. Aldi sells mini waffle cones in peppermint and hazelnut flavors.
Choceur Chocolate Waves
The salty-sweet flavor profile is a win every time. If you’ve never tried chocolate-covered potato chips, you need to.
El Sabroso Holiday Tortilla Chips
These red and green tortilla chips are super fun for Christmas, and you can grab guacamole, salsa, and queso at Aldi to have a festive dippable snack.
Benton’s Caramel Stroopwafel Cookies
Stroopwafel cookies are ridiculously good. Set them on top of your coffee while it’s hot before taking your first bite. You won’t be sorry.
