If you're obsessed with fall flavors, you're going to love the newest products to hit Aldi's shelves
For Aldi superfans, there are few things more exciting than taking a stroll through the Aldi Finds aisle or snagging a seasonal treat before it disappears. But I have to admit—it took me a while to get to Aldi superfan status. I was persuaded to shop there by my husband, who swore the chain’s rock-bottom prices could slash our grocery budget in half. I was slightly skeptical, but once I discovered favorites like Aldi’s Park Street Deli Chicken Salad, there was no going back. The savings were just the cherry on top.
While Aldi has great products year-round, it’s also known for fall releases that quickly become viral fan faves. This year is no different, so I scoured the shelves (and Aldi-centric social media) to see what eagle-eyed shoppers were saying about Aldi’s buzziest fall products. I also tried them out—in the name of research, of course.

Which new Aldi items are becoming fan favorites?
All right, folks. If you didn’t know about these delectable fall finds, consider yourself warned: You won’t be able to resist them, so stock up while you have the chance.
Sundae Shoppe Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Sandwiches
I was strolling through Aldi with my 5-year-old when I spotted these hidden in the freezer. Now, I don’t typically buy ice cream sandwiches—my daughter’s more of a rainbow ice pop kind of gal—but how could I say no to grinning jack-o’-lantern cookies stuffed with ice cream? Well, clearly I couldn’t.
So how do they taste? “Sooooo good,” says one Redditor. “Like pumpkin pie cookie with vanilla ice cream.”
I have to agree. Imagine your mom’s pumpkin pie with all that cinnamon-y, nutmeg-y goodness, but in a soft, pumpkin cookie. Add a vanilla ice cream center, and you’ve got pumpkin pie a la mode in handheld form! My notoriously picky 5-year-old’s eyes widened in wonder when she took a bite of her sandwich—and that’s no easy feat for a kid who generally insists on eating the same foods every day.
These tasty treats hit the shelves in late September, so if you manage to find them in your local Aldi, snag ’em quick. They’ll cost you a sweet $4.49 for a box of four.
Clancy’s Maple Sweet Potato Chips
I was introduced to these sweet-and-salty snacks during a recent weekend getaway. A group of friends and I rented an Airbnb, and someone brought a bag of these maple-flavored sweet potato chips. We were all hooked! The bag was emptied with impressive speed for a group of women who had just spent the entire day eating their way through a small town in the Hudson Valley. I knew I had to hunt these down at my local store when I got home.
The chips are not as crunchy as a typical potato chip, but what they lack in crunchiness, they make up for with big flavor. Sweet maple coupled with a salty potato chip base is a match made in fall heaven.
Shoppers could get their hands on these starting in August, and the 6-ounce bags retail for just $2.99—a crazy-good deal, if you ask me.
Nature’s Nectar Peach Cider
Fall is nearly synonymous with apples, meaning apple cider typically tops the list of autumnal drinks. But Aldi has introduced a twist on a classic this year: Peach cider. Downright peachy (see what I did there?) in flavor, this delicious peach cider is making waves as a good cocktail or mocktail mixer as well as a great stand-alone drink.
“It is soooo good! I used it this past weekend for my friend’s wedding to make mimosas since we wanted a non-orange juice option and EVERYONE loved it!” says one reviewer on Facebook.
The peach cider showed up in stores in August, and it rings in at just $2.89.
What else should you look out for at Aldi in 2025?
Aldi is known for its fun seasonal items, so you can bet that after fall items are scooped up by fanatical shoppers, you’ll start seeing the retailer’s holiday offerings. While nothing has been confirmed yet for this year, 2024 saw yummy treats like Christmas bark sampler packs, vanilla-dipped peppermint pretzel stars and chocolate chip pecan “meltaway” cookies dusted with confectioner’s sugar.
Keep an eye on the aisles through the rest of the year to be among the first to spot when Aldi drops its newest holiday treats.
