Hosting a holiday party is one of those things that seems hard, but with just a little planning, the right playlist, and definitely a scented candle or two, it really isn’t too bad. While the music and guest list are all on you, a quick trip to ALDI is pretty much all you need to figure out the menu, decor, and drinks.

And that’s especially true now that the holly and jolly vibes are fully flowing at ALDI. Your favorite place for picking up affordable weekly groceries that never let you down is also home to the best seasonal treats. So if you’re hosting an annual get-together or just want to make your monthly book club a little extra cozy, snagging a few bites or bottles (or both) will definitely make it look like you worked harder than you did. Love that for you, me, and anyone coming to this party.

Now that we’ve established these important details, let’s take a sneak preview of what’s going on in the aisles of ALDI right now. Think of it as mentally preparing yourself for the joy that awaits you and your guests (even if those guests are your cat and your favorite wine glass). It’s about to get professional in here.

Choceur Milk, Dark, and White Chocolate Cocoa Bombs
ALDI

You could stick with those powdery packets, no shame, but these luxurious hot chocolate bombs featuring Belgian chocolate might just make you a holiday hosting icon. Just saying.

You know what’s cuter than a cup of cocoa? A cup of cocoa with a side of these crunchy, creamy, wafer-y cookies perfect for mug dunking. And with three flavors, everyone (and their mouths) will be happy.

It’s officially chocolate season, so you might as well give the people what they want. Pop these little beauties out of their box and onto one of those fancy plates you’ve got in the back of your cabinet. Your guests can take it from there.

When the party’s over and you’re left to your holiday tunes and pile of dishes, break this box of chocolatey, minty cookies out to celebrate being the best host ever. You crushed it.

Choceur Peppermint Bark
ALDI

This party favorite is DIY-able, but in the spirit of doing less and eating delicious things, grab a bag of this peppermint bark and consider the job done.

Benton's Original Pecan Meltaway Cookies
ALDI

Buttery cookies with rich, nutty pecans and a lil dusting of powdered sugar? Yes, please! Set these babies next to your hot cocoa station for the coziest results.

Specially Selected 1,000 Day Aged Gouda
ALDI

You know what they say: It’s not really a party unless there’s cheese. OK, actually maybe I’m the only one who says that, but it’s true! And this gouda has been waiting approximately 1,000 days to attend your gathering.

Specially Selected Farmstead Blue Cheese Wedge
ALDI

Not to spark any controversy, but people have strong opinions about this equally strong cheese. One of those opinions is that no charcuterie board is complete without it. Take that how you will (preferably with a wafer cracker and maybe a dab of honey).

Specially Selected Tête de Moine Rosettes
ALDI

Listen, not all of us have the time to carefully sculpt cheese into the shape of rosettes. While we certainly respect those that can dedicate their time to the fine art of cheese modeling, we’ll be dropping these in our cart and calling it a day.

Specially Selected Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
ALDI

This is the move, friend. Whether you’re taking in a so-terrible-it’s-great holiday movie or toasting your friends and fam, this cabernet from California’s wine country is a class act. And with notes of chocolate and black currants, it’ll go perfectly with your wintery spread.

Specially Selected Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore
ALDI

No festive event is complete without bubbles. And these bubbles, well, they’re Italian. When the vibes start flowing, bust out this bottle and dance on the furniture like no one’s watching. Now it’s a party.
