12 Most Beloved Costco Fall Finds Of All Time

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

Despite the crowds, shopping at Costco in the fall — and even during the holiday season — has its perks. It goes without saying that the big-box store offers unbeatable prices on both pantry staples and ready-made meals, many of which are only available a few months each year. Prices aside, there are also a fair number of seasonal finds at Costco that we'd be interested in trying just for their novelty. This list includes products from both categories — ones that are celebrated for being drop-dead delicious, as well as ones that can feed a family on a budget. All are fan favorites for various reasons.

You can get everything you need for a Thanksgiving feast at Costco, and the store even sells a Complete Gourmet Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner that feeds eight if you can't commit to doing any cooking this year. But we encourage you to try the items on this list well in advance of Thanksgiving because you might add them to your shopping list again and again until they finally disappear from shelves.

We curated this list using online customer reviews on sites like Facebook and Reddit. All of the items listed have historically been seasonal products, though sometimes availability varies and we can't promise if or when it will return to your local warehouse (or if the recipe will have changed). 

Prices are as of the date of publication and may vary based on region.

You can't have a party without dips, and if you ask us, they should be a snack time staple regardless of whether guests will be coming over. If you need a creamy spread for a sandwich or something to make celery more exciting, La Terra Fina Cranberry and Jalapeño Dip and Spread is where it's at. This product stars cream cheese and Asiago alongside cranberries, jalapeños, onions, and sour cream.

Redditors eagerly anticipate La Terra Fina's Cranberry and Jalapeño Dip and Spread all year long, and say that it pairs well with sourdough, pita chips, crudités, and pulled pork. It's allegedly not too spicy thanks to the inclusion of cranberries, cranberry juice concentrate, and sugar, but the dip can be cloying for some customers. Each tub weighs a whopping 31 ounces and contains 29 2-tablespoon servings, meaning it's excellent for parties, but perhaps not the best choice for those living alone (it must be consumed within five days of opening). It's retailed at Costco before for $8.99.

The availability of Kirkland Signature's Pumpkin Pie varies throughout the season, but it's popular enough that you'll find tables stacked with dozens of these 58-ounce pies as Thanksgiving approaches. This pie contains many of the same ingredients that you'd find in a homemade pie: pumpkin, sugar, eggs, water, spices, salt, milk, and flour. Instead of butter, though, there's shortening, and modified corn starch is employed as a thickener. Naturally, your grandmother's homemade pumpkin pie recipe may outrank Costco's version, but it's still highly competitive for its price and convenience. Certainly, Redditors confirm that it's possibly the best store-bought pumpkin pie on the market.

While this product is generally highly reviewed, there are still some detractors who critique its flavor and texture. In case you fall into the latter camp, check out our tips regarding how to make the most of Costco's pumpkin pie. You'll find that a few extra toppings and perhaps some additional baking time can go a long way in bringing this pie a little closer to perfection. At just $5.99 per pie, you don't have much to lose.

We're no strangers to Giovanni Rana, an Italian brand with roots in the mid-20th century known for its exquisite fresh pastas. We especially loved Giovanni Rana's Mushroom Ravioli in a past taste test, but when the leaves start falling, it's the Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Ravioli that we're grabbing from Costco's refrigerated section. The listing price for a two-pack of this pasta (32 ounces in total) is $11.99.

In addition to butternut squash and caramelized onions, this ravioli contains ingredients like breadcrumbs, Parmesan and ricotta cheeses, butter, sage, garlic, and tomatoes. Although it's not true of all Giovanni Rana products, this one is certified organic. The high-quality ingredients prove to be both flavorful and nutritious; each 1-cup serving provides 4 grams of fiber, 8 grams of protein, and 25% of your recommended daily vitamin A intake.

Customers love this ravioli because it's quick to prepare, requiring only four minutes of boiling time, warms the belly, and combines naturally sweet flavors with savory ones spectacularly. It doesn't come with a sauce, though the brand recommends drizzling some olive oil on top and garnishing it all with cheese. Folks also report tossing it with marinara, Alfredo, and brown butter sage sauces.

If you're craving apple pie but don't want to wait until the next family gathering to enjoy a piece, look no further than the Urban Bistro Apple Pie Squares sold in Costco's frozen section. Each square is significantly smaller than a slice of pie, a win for those who are prioritizing portion control. If you're still a little hungry after just one square, no worries: These pie squares come in two-packs, with 12 total packs per box.

Each pie square combines sweet apples with tart cranberries and aromatic cinnamon sauce to create an explosion of flavor housed within a cinnamon-sugar crust. The texture of the crust varies, depending on whether you heat these squares in the air fryer or the microwave. The air fryer method takes longer, but according to customer feedback, it's worth the extra patience to achieve a toasty texture. Thankfully, at $10.79 per box, your experiments won't hit your wallet very hard.

According to customers, these pie squares are not cloyingly sweet. So while they are excellent as is, you can also pair them with ice cream, whipped cream, or, perhaps, vanilla custard.

Cranberry sauce tends to be a divisive dish: You either hate it or you love it. Nevertheless, even if you're just making cranberry sauce as a formality, you'll need a fair amount of cranberries. Costco's Fresh Cranberries are a hit among Redditors, who have reported success in making cranberry sauce with ingredients like Grand Marnier, oranges, and ginger. One Redditor explained that they buy 10 to 15 pounds of Costco's cranberries at a time to prepare homemade cranberry sauce, which they then freeze for year-round enjoyment. If you're along for the ride, we have plenty of tips for making homemade cranberry sauce that you can put to the test across multiple batches.

Unlike raspberries and strawberries, cranberries don't spoil quickly, making them a superb item to buy in bulk. If you've had your fill of cranberry sauce, use these berries in other seasonal dishes like applesauce and cheesecake. Prices vary, but in the past, fresh cranberries have cost around $2 per pound when the holiday season is in full swing. Also note that the Ocean Spray Organic Dried Cranberries at Costco are another popular fall item because they are typically incorporated into stuffing and autumnal salads.

Not everyone is a fan of pumpkin pie. Some people would rather the gourd remain in soups and pastas than enter the dessert realm. Don't knock Kirkland Signature's Pumpkin Cheesecake with Whipped Topping until you've tried it, though. It's one of Costco's most popular fall finds each year and in the past, it's been praised for being especially rich.

Admittedly, 2025's recipe change earned both kudos and criticism from customers in regard to the newly introduced, airy whipped topping. One customer compared the cheesecake's new topping to Halo Top ice cream, and others concurred that it lacks the necessary density for cheesecake. Plus, plenty of customers lament the loss of the tangy sour cream topping from years prior. At least the graham crumble garnish on top has received positive reviews, and there are still enough proponents of the cheesecake to convince us to try the new recipe.

Each cheesecake costs around $21.99, and folks recommend slicing it into pieces and freezing them. That's not just for the purposes of delayed gratification; it's also to save space in your fridge. Each cheesecake weighs over 4 pounds and contains 16 servings.

Are you on turkey duty this year? If so, we'll keep you in our prayers. Roasting a turkey can be a monumental task, requiring you to keep a close eye on the temperature of the meat, handle it hygienically, and season it properly. If you have too much on your plate, you might as well invest in a Fully Cooked Smoked Turkey from Costco. You'll still need to wrap this turkey in foil, then bake and broil it for a fair amount of time, but that's about all the hands-on attention required.

Given how tedious it can be to prepare your own turkey, it's no wonder that this is one of the most popular fall finds at Costco. But Kirkland Signature's turkeys have more going for them than convenience alone. Some Redditors report finding the birds for a strikingly affordable price, and the flavor of the smoked turkey in particular has received raving reviews. Prices vary, but customers say this turkey cost between $3.69 and $3.79 per pound. That's certainly more expensive than the other turkeys you might get at Costco, but perhaps worth it for the guarantee that your Thanksgiving centerpiece will be palatable.

"Easy as pie" becomes all the more meaningful when you grab one of Kirkland Signature's Apple Pies from Costco. This product contains apples, sugar, shortening, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour, as well as a handful of other ingredients commonly added to store-bought pies, such as xanthan gum, guar gum, and preservatives. According to customers, this pie is excellent alongside Kirkland Signature's Super Premium Vanilla Ice Cream. Furthermore, folks report that the pie freezes well, the crust is flaky, and the filling is rich.

Although it shares the limelight with Kirkland Signature's Pumpkin Pie, its apple counterpart seems to be the pie that Costco shoppers will add to their carts over and over again all fall long. This pie weighs nearly 5 pounds and can be divided into 16 servings. All that for a price of $12.99? Not bad at all. And if you have some extra time and want to make your pie stand out or feel more homemade, try transforming it into a brand new dessert with one easy technique. 

You may also find a latticed version of this pie. Prices of the two variations have been identical in the past; however, while the ingredients are similar, the latticed version is suitable for vegans while the plain is not.

What's better than mashed potatoes? Loaded mashed potatoes. Kirkland Signature's Loaded Mashed Potatoes contain not only Yukon Gold potatoes and butter, but also Parmesan, mozzarella, bacon, and sour cream. One Redditor described them as "god tier," while another opted for the word "glorious." Folks say that it's easy to eat more than one serving of this dish, so take the 10 servings per package disclaimer with a grain of salt.

Notably, you can't simply pop these mashed potatoes into the microwave and enjoy them a few minutes later. You'll need to account for 40 to 50 minutes of baking time. Still, there's practically no active time required, so you can get back to raking those leaves ASAP. In years past, Costco has brought back this fan-favorite side dish just in time for Thanksgiving, so keep your eyes peeled once the calendar reads November and set aside roughly $13 (give or take) for this dish when it hits shelves.

Kirkland Signature's Pumpkin Streusel Muffins are huge, sweet treats brimming with texture and spice. Each muffin contains 25 grams of added sugar, so you might also imagine them as frosting-less cupcakes in disguise (not that we're complaining). In addition to sugar, flour, eggs, pumpkin, and butter, these muffins contain emulsifiers, xanthan gum, locust bean gum, and natural and artificial flavors (among other ingredients). While the ingredient list is not exactly as streamlined as that of a homemade recipe, or even what you might get at a local coffee shop, customers appear to really take to these muffins. They're a returning favorite in Costco's fall bakery lineup, and they tend to be available all autumn long. Eight-packs are available for just $6.99, which is what you might pay for a single muffin at a fancy bakery.

Unsurprisingly, these pumpkin streusel muffins are said to be even more delicious when warmed briefly in the microwave. However, if you enjoy one straight from the package, you can still count on an especially aromatic and indulgent experience. While they're not quite as pumpkin-forward as they could be, the pumpkin spice is bold, particularly in the streusel layer. Keep a few in the freezer for when you're missing the fall season.

A single can of Olipop can cost close to $3 depending on where you buy it. On the other hand, Olipop variety packs at Costco cost only $19.99 per 15-can case. That goes for the Olipop Holiday Variety Pack, too, meaning you'll only have to pay about $1.33 per can. While the standard variety pack contains cream soda, classic grape, and classic root beer flavors, the 2026 Holiday Pack stars ginger ale, vintage cola, and pomegranate sparkle.

Speaking from experience, we can confirm that this range of flavors will satisfy the whole family. It's also worth mentioning that these Olipop flavors make for excellent cocktails and mocktails, and they can be swapped directly with their traditional soda counterparts. They're packed with fiber and prebiotics, and customers appreciate Olipop for being a healthier alternative to soda, especially when you're tasking your body with digesting a feast.

While we're specifically recommending the Holiday Variety Pack, don't hesitate to try other flavors, too. If you have kids, the Variety Pack of Mini Cans of Olipop may be all they need to feel satisfied, and the Crisp Apple flavor is another customer favorite.

How are you mopping up the extra cheese sauce from your macaroni this fall? Your answer better be Kirkland Signature's All Butter Dinner Rolls. Costco's rolls are a seasonal favorite that are a hit among kids and adults alike, with customers often describing them as fresh and buttery.

Costco's rolls come in different avatars depending on the time of year. For instance, the spring-time Garlic Parmesan Rolls are drowning in butter and perfect for pizza night. The All Butter Dinner Rolls, on the other hand, are more versatile. Folks say that they're delicious with a simple pat of butter, but they can also be used in place of sandwich bread or as vehicles for swiping up mashed potatoes.

24-count bags have been sold for $6.99 in the past, coming out to roughly $0.29 per roll. Notably, the All Butter version differs from the butter dinner rolls previously carried by Costco, and many folks are holding out hope that the older version returns.
