Come for the cauliflower gnocchi, stay for the garlands. Trader Joe's holiday items are popping up in stores across the country, sidetracking us from our shopping list in the best way possible.
Whether it's a felt accessory or a festive plant, the grocery store's Christmas decorations are playful, inexpensive ways to add a little cheer to your home. And let's be honest, we love the Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend, but our cart is much more enticing with a reindeer succulent.
Go ahead — try to leave the store with just the necessities. We dare you.

Even with crowded aisles and a long line, the adventure is worth it. (Christmas candles, here we come.)
