What's New At Kroger: December 2025 Edition

With the spate of winter celebrations right around the corner, we can't manage to go very long without a grocery run. Whether it's fodder for our favorite festive cocktail idea, eggnog Jell-O shots or chocolate bars for easy customized holiday bark, the treats will be popping and you know we'll be baking cookies for St. Nick. This is all to say nothing of the fixings we need for our big family feasts this time of year. Like the man with the big red bag, Kroger has everything you need on your list in addition to fresh favorites with the potential to become December traditions to remember. 

We're taking a look at some of the fun, delicious items that Kroger is rolling out for the last month of the year, from sweet treats to all the snacks you need to party 'til midnight on New Year's Eve. Take a look, because we bet at least one product is just what you've been craving. All prices are valid as of the time of this writing, but may vary based on promotions and locations. Check your local Kroger store to make sure they are in stock or look at your app next time you place a delivery order.

Whether you're dashing through the snow or rockin' around the Christmas tree, December can be a busy month. With these two-ounce shots of yummy, functional vitamins and minerals you can get a quick dose of nutrients before you get back to decking those halls. Keep in mind that all so-called wellness shots only supplement a balanced diet. As a bonus, the flavor is probably better than those strawberry candies grandmas always seem to have in their purse. Grab a bottle (or several) for $3.29 apiece. 

If you want a pop of something sweet alongside the crackers and fruit on your charcuterie board, you might be interested in these almonds which are covered in caramel candy and enrobed in chocolate. Of course, we won't tell if you want to stash a bag in the back of the pantry for your own private snacking. Kroger is selling a 5-ounce bag of these nuts for $3.79. Don't miss any of the other Private Selection chocolate almonds the grocer has released for the holidays, either. 

When you're gathered around the Yule log with your loved ones, what will you be sipping? Traditionally, the answer is egg nog. We love that Kroger is serving up variety in its eggnog offerings, including this Southern Comfort product made with real milk and cream. All you need is the best liquor to add to eggnog along with some warming spices and you've got a cocktail, or drink it plain for a sober tipple that will still have you feeling jolly. A quart carton sells for $4.29. 

Like you, we will be sat for the conclusion of Netflix's hit show "Stranger Things" when the final installment of Season 5 episodes hits at the end of December. While we appreciate the custom Starbucks coffee drink inspired by the show's Eleven, we definitely prefer a more easily accessible snack when we get the munchies in the midst of a thrilling episode. These dairy-free cheeses hit the spot, but you could use them (unwrapped) on a party table without anybody being the wiser. One bag sells for $5.79. 

It happens to the best of us: You RSVP "yes" to a holiday potluck, but run out of time. You could throw together a three-ingredient dip made with onion soup mix, but Kroger is doing you one better with this yummy, layered grab-and-go Mexican-style bean dip. It's got strata of refried beans, sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning mix; all you need is a bag of chips to dish up a scrumptious, speedy appetizer that's shame-free. A 20-ounce package sells for $7.99. 

You may not have any idea what to do with candy-covered frozen grapes, but we bet the army of kids and teens invading your house for holiday family get-togethers will down them happily while recording reels for TikTok and making "6-7" jokes. Grape ice cream doesn't really exist, but sour frozen grapes are officially a "thing." Give 'em a try, you might be pleasantly surprised. One bag of Fruit Riot! sour grapes sells for $6.99. 

We love nachos of all kinds — even the viral TikTok ice cream nachos — but kinda hate serving them to a crowd because they can be so very messy. When you are choosing finger foods for holiday noshing, consider these stuffed nachos by Old El Paso that take all the delicious toppings you love about nachos and enclose them in a contained bite. Serve with some queso or ranch-based dip and you're golden. Your carpets will thank you for the consideration. A bag of 40 nachos sells for $8.99. 

Do you know what many picky eaters have in common? They love mac 'n cheese. While we're fans of dressing up boxed mac with a creamy ingredient, sometimes only "normal" pasta will do. Grab a few of these packages and stash them in your fridge for kiddos and fussy adults to warm up so that you don't have to compromise on your gourmet holiday feast. It's vegetarian-friendly for any friends avoiding meat. This mac 'n cheese sells for $7.99 per package.
