Seeing the “new products” sign go up at Trader Joe’s is a special kind of feeling for dedicated shoppers like myself. The grocer is constantly cooking up new, delicious finds, whether it’s a sturdy pantry staple or just a ‘for fun’ sweet treat. No matter what the newly-launched item is, you can bet on the r/traderjoes community on Reddit to announce its arrival and discuss just how great it is.
Following the results of Trader Joe’s 17th Annual Customer Choice Awards and an intense flurry of new products for 2026 (January and February’s drops left me speechless), a clear list of winners has emerged, all according to TJ’s fans.
