I like the packaging update with TJ's products. I noticed the dog treats are getting refreshed packaging as well. Looks nice. The Mosaic Boards weren't available to order for most stores because I think some stores over ordered leaving no inventory for the rest. That prompted TJ's higher ups to place ordering limits for holiday products for other products. The lip mask is definitely a Laniege alternative. We has them at my store for months though then went out of stock for a bit during the holidays. The lip butter duo is an alternative to the Summer Fridays lip butters that sell for 24 dollars each.
@@CoCoFantastique The updated packaging definitely gives a new vibe and freshness to the items 😍 Thanks for letting us know about the mosaic wood boards and sharing so much with us❣️
Happy Christmas Eve! 🎄🎄🎄 Thank you for an extensive video. Insane how many seasonal products there are. And how many they have had every December for over ten years. Bet most sold out. Hopefully there will be some restocking before New Years, need the danish rum balls and gingerbread! Hope you have a joyful and wonderful holiday 🎄🎄🎄
@@christina3521 Merry Christmas Eve indeed 🎄❣️I got the gingerbread loaf (good but dry) and new gingerbread sheet cookies (which I haven’t tried yet). I’ve heard mixed reviews on the rum balls. People seem to love it or hate it. They look delicious though 😍
@@AlyssaEveMitchel93 Right?! I picked up the vegan gingerbread loaf and the new gingerbread cookie sheets 🍪 Happy holidays friend 🎄❄️☃️ Thank you so much for always watching❣️
I'm late to the party, as usual 😫 The compound butter with herbs sounds amazing - especially after you listed all the ways to use it!! 👏🏼 Have you tried the Black Truffle Jack cheese?? I have had so many varieties of beautiful cheese that my palate tastes nada with monterey jack 😢 They have an herb-seasoned half turkey?? 😲 Perfect size for my family of turkey haters --Will hope they still carry it too! Those veggie pouches !!!!🥰 Thank you for the vid ~ I'm planning my next trip now! 💙🙏🏼🕊️
@@ylive5169 I initially wasn’t going to get the butter either but somehow I sold myself on it 🤣 it’s delicious on bread and really good as the “sauce” over plain pasta. The black truffle Monterey Jack cheese I haven’t tried but haven’t gotten around to. The herb seasoned half turkey came and went but the other fully cooked turkey in the refrigerated section that I showed in the Thanksgiving video was surprisingly still around on Christmas Eve at my store 😮 and I hear ya on the turkey haters 🤣 my sister and I are the only ones who enjoy it 😋 Thank so much for always watching and being so supportive❣️Appreciate you and hope you had a joyous happy holiday 🎄🎅❄️☃️
Oh my goodness! What a treat for Christmas! Thank you for taking time to create a high-quality, in-depth video. I know you've been busy so being able to still hear your thoughts despite your schedule is great! I hope you're doing well! 🙌 The offerings this year were solid--but the pacing of the releases were definitely strange! The hits came later while newer objects were really early. TJ's really crammed everything in from early November to mid-December and are now selling them off as fast as they can. Where I am, even the popular Jingle Jangle mix is still in stock and the holiday-themed sweet breads/cookies are still around. Seems as though people were a little unsure as to when things were coming in, which may explain why there's still so much stock left. Can't wait to see what TJ's brings in 2025. They seem to be doing a lot more things with sauces and freezer meals. I wonder how that's going to evolve this upcoming year. Looking forward to all your content and happy holidays to you!✨
@@poketographyyy Awww happy holidays friend 🎄 You’re so right about the influx of new items coming in from November to December. There’s even more new items arriving soon but in the interest of getting this video out today I didn’t add them in but they will most likely be in the next video 🤞🏻 and they are frozen items 😉 I have the content for the new arrivals ready the week they are released in stores but it takes me forever to edit and I have a very small window of time to work on it everyday. I really wish I could pump the videos out sooner as it’s always on my mind. Thank you so much for being patient and for always watching❣️
Wow! What a great video! 👏👏👏 You deserve an award or something for getting through all those products! I actually laughed out loud when you said "are you ready to rumble" and "it's not about the pasta" (vpr 😉) So many cookies/treats I still haven't tried yet, hopefully my store will still have some leftover after Christmas. Happy Holidays!
@@HL90210 THANK YOU for appreciating and getting the references❣️I wish I could have gotten it out sooner but I was literally working on it up until I posted. Hopefully some items stick around until the new years and they don’t wipe everything from the shelves so fast 🤞🏻Merry Christmas 🎄🎅❄️☃️🎁❣️

OMG I thought I was the only one who noticed. I was so bummed that they changed the third cookie to the ones with the chocolate cream tops which weren’t bad but last year’s third cookie was so much better. Yes it definitely has a wow factor but the combination was ill fitting. The other 2 cookies tasted pretty much the same to me as last years but you’re right - not quite as good.
