These Costco Bakery Finds Are Perfect For The Holidays

When I need baked treats for easy breakfasts, excellent sweet treats for after-dinner desserts, or even just some quality bread or dinner rolls during the holidays, Costco’s bakery is my shortcut. Just about everything that comes out of the warehouse retailer’s bakery is stellar — and after plenty of taste-testing myself, I’ve discovered that some holiday finds are absolute must-haves for any meal you’re hosting.

If you’re thinking about picking up something sweet (or perhaps even savory) from Costco’s bakery for the holidays, these are the items we think are up for the job of satisfying hunger and seriously impressing you with their quality and flavor.

Maple Pecan Coffee Cake

Costco just introduced a brand-new bakery find for the 2026 holiday season, and let me tell you: It’s already a hit. The new Maple Pecan Coffee Cake is wowing Costco shoppers, and in my opinion, it’s the perfect breakfast for anyone who loves late fall and winter flavors… or a really great coffee cake.

This year’s Maple Pecan Coffee Cake is actually an updated version of a coffee cake by the same name that was released back in 2023. The latest iteration is a moist, maple-infused cake topped off with buttery pecan-flavored streusel and a drizzle of cream cheese icing (the correct kind of icing, in my opinion). And no, it’s not at all dry; take a bit of this Costco coffee cake, and you’ll find it buttery, moist, and perfect for Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day.

Cinnamon Rolls

Speaking of breakfast baked goods, another Costco find that’s downright iconic for the holiday season is the bakery’s classic cinnamon rolls. The Kirkland Signature Cinnamon Rolls are everything you could want in a holiday breakfast, and all you have to do is crack open the packaging — and warm the rolls up if you want them to be extra ooey gooey.

Nostalgic, perfectly spiced with cinnamon, and covered in so much frosting that you’ll absolutely be a mess by the end of breakfast, these cinnamon rolls are as decadent as they are satisfying. I particularly love the larger size of each roll, which is plenty for an adult and big enough to split for kids. Costco’s rolls are moist and soft, never dry. And as a frosting enthusiast, I love that these don’t skimp on a thick layer of frosting for extra sweetness.

Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is a holiday classic, and I’m firmly in the camp that it’s the best holiday pie out there. And yes, it belongs on your Thanksgiving, Christmas, and every other ‘ber months holiday or occasion — especially if you’re able to pick up one of Costco’s Kirkland Signature Pumpkin Pies. Each one of these 12-inch pies sells for just under $7 and clocks in at a seriously impressive 56 ounces in size. 

When it comes to quality and flavor, I certainly can’t match Costco’s pumpkin pie. It’s a fantastic pie, with warm and seasonal spices, a creamy pumpkin filling that’s sweet but not overly so, and a buttery, perfectly flaky crust. As someone who doesn’t usually like pie, this is one I simply can’t live without during the holidays.

Pumpkin Bar Cake

Costco’s bar cakes are the stuff of legends, and this year there’s one that’s perfect for the holidays: the Kirkland Signature Pumpkin Bar Cake. Featuring layer after layer of pumpkin-flavored sponge cake, creamy and sweet pumpkin mousse, and rich whipped cream, it’s decadent and the perfect upgrade if you want something different from a basic pie or standard holiday treat. 

The Pumpkin Bar Cake is one seriously impressive dessert, and yet it manages to feel light, airy, and delightful when you dig into it. It’s not as heavy as, say, a pumpkin cheesecake. Instead, it feels like a dessert you can still enjoy even after one of those notoriously extra-filling holiday meals. And if you aren’t the biggest pumpkin fan, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find out that this bar cake is light on pumpkin flavor, meaning it’s seasonal yet still suitable for any kind of menu.

Caramel Flan

Flan is always a good idea in my opinion, and during the holidays it offers just the right balance of sweetness, richness, and seasonal flavors. And Costco’s Caramel Flan is a seasonal bakery treat that only appears during select times of the year — like the fall and winter holidays, just in time to join your Thanksgiving or Christmas feast. 

This Caramel Flan is so creamy, and it’s one of the best flans I’ve ever tasted. I genuinely thought I didn’t like flan at all, but this one convinced me otherwise. It’s massive in size, weighing a whopping 3 pounds, and features sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla for a buttery result finished off with a caramel topping. And yes, it’s dense, but this is a bakery treat you just might want to hide in the fridge and dig into for multiple days (or maybe even treat yourself to for breakfast on Christmas morning).
