What's New At Kroger: November 2025 Edition

Did somebody say "turkey time?" November is the month when grocery stores pack their shelves with all the goodies you need for a perfect Thanksgiving dinner, from frozen birds to all the fixings for those unhealthy side dishes you probably should avoid, but definitely won't ... bring on the heavy cream, cheese, and butter! Kroger is no exception. The grocer is rolling out a ton of exciting new items that will help you avoid Thanksgiving dinner hosting mistakes by keeping your loved ones well-fed and marveling at the abundance of your table. 

Whether it's savory snacks or luxuriant traditional sips, Kroger has you covered as we dive headfirst into the winter holidays. As of this writing, all these items are available at Kroger stores, with many (though not all) available for Kroger's nationwide delivery service. Prices may vary depending on your location and can change in relation to coupons or sales. Happy shopping! 

It's not a festive holiday without eggnog, and Kroger's got you covered with a bevy of flavors ... cinnamon, pumpkin, low-fat, original, and our personal selection, vanilla. Some might say that Thanksgiving is still a tad early for this drink, but we never say no to some 'nog. When in doubt, you can turn to our pick for the best liquor to add to eggnog for a boozy sip that's guaranteed to turn the party. Prices for a half-gallon will vary based on store availability. 

Why we eat turkey on Thanksgiving is a complicated story, but there's no law saying you need to cook up a big bird for the holiday. If your Thanksgiving dinner is an intimate meal for two — or if you fancy giving every guest their own fowl to savor — you might turn to petite Cornish hens, which Kroger is dishing up in two-packs that average just 24 ounces (1.5 pounds) per hen, priced right at $10.99. Just season with herbs and lemon and pop 'em in the oven. 

While Starbucks is rolling out its festive handcrafted drinks for the holidays, you can save money and drive-thru aggro by making your own coffee with your Keurig, sacrificing none of the special flavors that we associate with this time of year. We can easily imagine sipping a steaming mug of this java as we preheat the oven for a long day of cooking, the scent of cinnamon sugar cookies wafting from our mug. A 10-pack of coffee pods sells for $10.99.

Whether cheesecake is pie or cake is an immortal dispute, but we can't deny loving it. When we're scarfing Thanksgiving leftovers but have no energy left to whip up a suitable sweet treat afterwards, we reach for this vanilla bean-flecked dessert dip, which sells for $5.79. With Neufchatel cream cheese as the first ingredient, it gives those creamy vibes we love, with the convenience of being effortless to eat scooped up on a graham cracker while watching TV ... although we bet it would shine as the star of a fruit plate, too. 

Don't let Thanksgiving hosting get you in a pickle ... save your time and effort on the parts of the meal that really matter, and don't be afraid to turn to frozen snacks for your appetizer course, like these beer-battered dill pickle chips. Tossed in the oven or air fryer and then served with some ranch, we think your guests will scarf them down happily while you put the finishing touches on the main dishes, like your glorious French onion mashed potatoes. At $8.99 a box, these are a convenience food that delivers. 

How often has this happened to you: it's the night before Thanksgiving, and you've been in the kitchen prepping all day ... but you didn't account for the fact that you need to eat dinner. The thought of more cooking is enough to do you in, so what do you reach for? We suggest this chicken pot pie, which costs $10.99 and cooks right in the microwave or oven. It's not the viral TikTok pot pie with Red Lobster biscuits, but it will be hot and tasty when you need a quick meal. 

Kids can be picky and might not always be receptive to the highbrow fare you've planned out for your picture-perfect Thanksgiving menu. Stash a box of these peanut butter and honey sandwiches in your freezer and thaw them right before serving the meal ... your munchkins will be happy, and you won't have to fuss over warming up chicken tendies or sticking a frozen pizza in the oven. A 10-count box sells for $10.99, and you also have the option of old favorites like peanut butter and grape jelly or peanut butter and hazelnut spread. 

A sturdy, delicious cracker is an underrated MVP of Thanksgiving hosting, often playing multiple roles: being served alongside cheeses and meats on a charcuterie board (remember the rule of three!), scooping up succulent dips, or being crumbled with butter as the topping on a casserole. These delightful crackers combine two beloved scoopers: pita chips and pretzels, along with savory herbs. One bag sells for $5.79, but we suggest grabbing multiples.
