"Pumpkin Brioche Twist ($4.99): This year Trader Joe's is presenting the brioche as a sliced loaf instead of a pull-apart bread and perhaps tweaked the recipe too. The result? For the first time, this sweet bread rose to the top in our tasting. The brioche is nice because the pumpkin is pretty subtle, just a little spiced swirl within the soft slice, one taster commented. We agreed it would be nice toasted with butter and yummy as French toast."
"Pumpkin Mini Sheet Cake ($5.99): Nothing but praise for this tasty sheet cake slathered with cream cheese frosting. The creamy icing and melt-in-your-mouth cake makes this one of the top snacks this year, one said. Moist, well-spiced; cream cheese frosting is rich but not overpowering, said another. This cake is small but rich; a little square goes a long way toward scratching that itch for dessert."
"Except for Half Moon Bay, no one does pumpkin season like Trader Joe's. The 2025 autumnal lineup of products includes a sizable number of returning bestsellers and a couple of new options (or new to us). We bought a few grocery bags' worth of snacks and treats (the new Halloween mini-totes weren't available yet) land put them to the test in the newsroom."
Trader Joe's 2025 pumpkin lineup combines many returning bestsellers with a few new items. An informal newsroom taste test evaluated a wide assortment of seasonal snacks and treats. The Pumpkin Brioche Twist emerged as the top pick for its subtly spiced swirl, soft texture, and versatility for toasting or French toast. The Pumpkin Mini Sheet Cake earned praise for moist, well-spiced cake and balanced cream cheese frosting. Pumpkin Cranberry Crisps paired with Pumpkin Cream Cheese performed well. Most items showed familiar seasonal flavors and approachable sweetness, with a few product form changes such as brioche presented as a sliced loaf.
