We Spotted These 5 Holiday Arrivals At Sam’s Club (& We’re Adding Them To Our Carts)

It’s that time: We may still be in October, but the holiday season is creeping in everywhere, bringing brightly-colored string lights, lush green garlands, and so many festive food and drink finds. Seasonal candies, Thanksgiving- and Christmas-inspired ingredients, and plenty of colorful red and green twists on classic items are already here.

And since we’ve already seen our local Sam’s Club warehouse stocking its shelves with new holiday arrivals, we’re getting our own seasonal shopping started. These are the five new holiday-inspired items we’re picking up and adding to our Sam’s Club haul right now.

Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog

There’s really nothing that’ll get you in a holiday mood ASAP than a glass of egg nog (preferably spiked with rum!). Sam’s Club is ready to help with a 1.75-liter bottle of Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog that’s rich, velvety, and just the right amount of sweet. 

Spiked with warming holiday spices and made with all of the staple ingredients — eggs, cream, and yes, an alcohol blend that includes rum, brand, and whiskey — it’s ready to drink. You can serve it hot or over ice and toast to the holidays whether you’re trick-or-treating, prepping your turkey, or trimming the tree, and you’ll have plenty left over for the rest of the season.

Olipop Holiday Variety Pack

Looking for something that’s a bit lighter than rich egg nog but still festive? Sam’s Club is already stocking the Olipop Holiday Variety Pack, which includes 15 fun flavors that are perfect for that fall-to-winter transition. It includes three of my favorite cold-weather flavors: five cans each of Vintage Cola, Pomegranate Sparkle, and Ginger Ale.

Whether you’re looking for a chilled drink to sip or a better-for-you mixer for holiday cocktails, Olipop’s prebiotic- and fiber-filled sodas are a great choice. They’re lower in sugar and yet equally tasty to traditional sodas, with a refreshing, bubbly kick.

Rice Crispies Holiday Edition Cereal

It may feel a bit early to get your breakfast cereal in a holiday mood, but Sam’s Club is already turning your favorites red and green. We spotted Rice Crispies Holiday Edition Cereal, which features classic Rice Crispies in its usual beige with some red and green sprinkled into the mix, and we’re adding this supersized 36.3-ounce box to our carts so we’re ready for early mornings and plenty of holiday baking. 

Each box contains two bags of cereal, which means you can reserve one to mix into milk and one for whipping up Rice Krispies Treats for guests, parties, and other festive get-togethers with a colorful twist.

Built Puff Protein Bar Holiday Variety Pack

Satisfy your hunger and your protein needs with a bar that’s almost as good as a sugar-filled holiday treat thanks to the Built Puff Protein Bar Holiday Variety Pack. This new Sam’s Club product features 13 protein bars in two seasonal flavors: Candy Cane Brownie Puff and Chocolatey Hazelnut Puff. 

These holiday-ready bars feature 17 grams of protein yet taste similar to a fluffy, chocolate-covered marshmallow. You can bring them on the go, sub them in as a candy-like snack, or even enjoy them as a treat. After all, the holidays aren’t complete unless you’ve got plenty of candy cane-inspired peppermint bites on hand.

Member’s Mark Double Smoked Thick Cut Brown Sugar Glazed Bacon

Technically, this item isn’t one that’s specific to the holidays, but it is seasonal enough that you won’t catch it in your local Sam’s Club warehouse year-round. That’s because the colder temps of late fall and winter are when brown sugar-glazed treats start to pop up — yes, including savory ones like this thick-cut bacon.

If you’re a bacon fan or someone who loves holiday-inspired flavors, this is the perfect addition to your cart right now. It includes plenty of bacon (enough for 22 servings, according to the package) plus two packages of brown sugar glaze mix. Coat the bacon in it, and you’ll have a festive, smoky, and slightly sweet bacon you can use in casseroles, alongside breakfast, or even as a finishing touch for meals.
