Costco carries a wide variety of seasonal and holiday-themed items throughout the year. It’s a great place to shop if you’re planning a special family meal or just looking for fun treats.
For Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, the Kirkland Signature Spiral Sliced Ham is an awesome choice. I didn’t even like ham very much before we started buying this one, but now I actually look forward to having it. If you have your heart set on turkey, Costco sells good ones. If you’re having a small gathering, you can always opt for a turkey breast.
No holiday dinner is complete without pumpkin pie, and the Kirkland Signature version is tasty and cheap. If you’re looking for cookies, the Kirkland Signature Ginger Cookies and the Kirkland Signature Raspberry Crumble Cookies are perfect for the Christmas season.

Hot chocolate is always great on a cold day, but it tastes extra good during the holiday season! Costco’s Stephen’s Hot Cocoa comes in two flavors – regular milk chocolate and the more festive candycane (I think candy cane is actually two words, but Stephen’s has it as one, so … Read more
These David’s Cookies Cranberry Pistachio Biscuits are new to Costco for the 2023 holiday season. They come in a festive-looking metal tube. If that’s not enough to convince you to buy them and you want to know more about the cookies inside the tube, you’ve come to the right place! … Read more
We always have ginger cookies in our house around the holidays. Sometimes I bake my own, but I’ve also bought quite a few packages of Costco’s Kirkland Signature Ginger Cookies over the past few holiday seasons. I first reviewed them years ago, and I think this is my third time … Read more
