Trader Joe’s Mint(ish) Holiday Tasting

Mint and the holidays feel like a natural pairing. At least, that was the plan going into this Trader Joe’s field trip. In this episode of Snack Society, I’m tasting my way through some of Trader Joe’s holiday snack lineup, discovering which minty treats delivered, which ones surprised me, and which item quietly stole the show.

This expedition took place during a Western New York Trader Joe’s run, and while most of the snacks leaned minty, one festive wildcard insisted on tagging along.

Snacks Tasted:

  • Mini Peppermint Meringues
  • Jingly Jangly (Holiday Edition)
  • Dark Chocolate Dipped Candy Cane Marshmallows
  • Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe-Joe’s
  • Sleigh Ride Cookies

Find out what we thought about each, and which item won the MVP of the Haul. 

Snacks packed. Playlist ready. Let’s find the fun.
