The holiday season at Aldi is nothing short of a festive feast for the senses!
In our latest adventure, we delved into the cornucopia of seasonal offerings and plant-based delights that Aldi has laid out.
So, grab a notepad and get ready to jot down your must-haves from Aldi this holiday season!
Various holiday and plant-based food items from Aldi are taste-tested.
Simulate Nugs (Plant-Based Chicken Nuggets):
These nuggets were well-received, particularly for their breading, which was compared to McDonald’s McNuggets. The reviewers found them flavorful enough to eat without a dipping sauce.
Everything But The Bagel Seasoned Shrimp Stuffed with Cream Cheese:
These shrimp were a hit and considered a great holiday appetizer due to their indulgent cream cheese filling and good quality shrimp.
Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes:
These small-sized potatoes were preferred over similar products from Trader Joe’s. They were noted for their soft texture, good flavor, and ease of cooking.
Califia Farms Holiday Nog (Almond Milk Based):
This beverage was liked for its thinner consistency compared to traditional eggnog, along with its strong nutmeg and cardamom flavor.
Cheese Advent Calendar:
A variety of cheeses were sampled, including mature cheddar, black pepper gouda, smoked cheddar, smoked apple cheddar, and cheddar with port wine. The smoked apple cheddar didn’t have a noticeable apple flavor, but the cheddar with port wine was appreciated for its unique texture and flavor.
Speculaas Spiced Cookies:
These were compared to Trader Joe’s schoolbook cookies, noted for their thinness and good crunch. They were recommended as a pairing with tea, coffee, or vanilla ice cream.
Peanut Clusters with Milk Chocolate:
These were praised for their high-quality peanuts and chocolate, with a strong peanut flavor being the highlight.
Stollen (Cherry Flavored):
This traditional German holiday bread, made with raisins, almonds, cherries, brandy, and citrus peels, was less favored due to its lack of strong flavor.
