The arrival of the fall season means one thing for the dinner table: a spread of warm, comforting meals and tasty desserts. If you have time to drop by Aldi during this time of year, you'll be treated to plenty of options, many of which are reminiscent of products you can find at Trader Joe's; with a similar taste, and sometimes even the same look and packaging. You can expect an assortment of fall flavors to fill your dessert lineup or to help build your seasonal comfort meal. Aldi also offers a mac and cheese dupe, just in time for Thanksgiving as a delicious side to deep-fried turkey, so there's plenty to look forward to. 

As for the rest of the fall 2026 lineup, expect a lot of popular autumn classics like pumpkin spice and ... a lot more pumpkin spice, but with a little bit of something else, too. Without a doubt, Aldi aisles will give you plenty of Trader Joe's dupes to choose from, so we hope you have enough space in your fridge and pantry.

Sundae Shoppe Maple Leaf Ice Cream Sandwiches

Aldi's Sundae Shoppe Maple Leaf Ice Cream Sandwiches are a dupe of a Trader Joe's treat of the same name, though the one from TJ's is made with real maple syrup. But aesthetics-wise, the ice cream sandwiches look quite similar. There's also a pumpkin spice version at Aldi if you want a bolder fall-themed frozen sweet.

Specially Selected Seasonal Pumpkin & Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce

Aldi's Pumpkin and Butternut Squash pasta sauce is an awful lot like Trader Joe's Autumnal Harvest Creamy Pasta Sauce, though Aldi's seems to be lacking the carrot component present in the TJ's version. We can imagine how a jar might appeal to those who want fall-inspired bites with a savory touch.

Benton's Pumpkin Spice Mini Biscotti

The Benton's Mini Biscotti from Aldi can be the perfect complement to your afternoon teas or morning coffee, introducing the perfect balance of sweet and savory. They're similar to TJ's pumpkin biscotti, which are crafted with pumpkin puree and warm spices, such as nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and clove.

Happy Farms Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese

Pair the Happy Farms Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese from Aldi with rustic bread and you're all set for a cozy midday snack. Trader Joe's Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread was one of our favorite pumpkin spice products of 2026, and Aldi's take on this earthy fall spread might be worth trying, too.

Benton's Fall Pumpkin Spice Sandwich Crèmes

Another bite-sized treat to be added to Aldi's lineup is Benton's Fall Pumpkin Spice Sandwich Crèmes. It's a sweet biscuit with an autumnal touch, much like Trader Joe's Pumpkin Joe-Joe's Cookies.

Specially Selected Fall Harvest Mac & Cheese

Specially Selected Fall Harvest Mac & Cheese is not just any ordinary mac and cheese recipe. The cheese contains pumpkin and butternut squash, giving the pasta a distinctly autumnal vibe and upgrading the classic mac and cheese we know and love. It's similar to Trader Joe's Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese, though Aldi's version uses classic macaroni pasta instead of rigatoni.

Breakfast Best Pumpkin Spice Waffles

A box of Breakfast Best Pumpkin Spice Waffles from Aldi contains 10 pieces, which you can enjoy with a classic syrup or add other toppings to give your waffles a savory twist, like bacon or chicken. It's much like Trader Joe's Pumpkin Waffles, though, unlike Aldi, it doesn't claim to be made with natural flavors.

Berryhill Maple Butter

Berryhill Maple Butter is versatility in a jar. You can add it to bread, to your favorite fruit (think bananas), and maybe to your coffee, too. Aldi even suggests plopping a dollop into your oatmeal. Aldi's spread is much like TJ's Organic Maple Butter, which is also flavored with pure maple syrup and has a buttery consistency that makes it easy to glide onto your toast. 

Sundae Shoppe Fall Gelato Pints

You might feel the slight chill of autumn when eating this gelato, but aren't sweet treats always a good idea? If you're shopping at Aldi's, look out for Sundae Shoppe Fall Gelato Pints in Apple Pie (an Apple Pie a la Mode Ice Cream dupe from TJ's) for a rich and indulgent dessert.

Clancy's Pumpkin Spice Covered Pretzels

Clancy's Pumpkin Spice Covered Pretzels from Aldi bring a fun twist to a classic snack, with pumpkin spice yogurt coating giving a nice, festive lift. The similar Trader Joe's version is the retailer's Pumpkin Spiced Teeny Tiny Pretzels, which are also coated in yogurt mixed with warm fall spices.

Benton's Pumpkin Spice Wafer Rolls

Aldi's Benton's Pumpkin Spice Creme Wafer Rolls look like a dupe for Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice Batons. Both have a thin and delicate crunch with a sweet cream filling that bursts in your mouth when you take a bite.

Clancy's Maple Kettle Corn

There might be no better pairing than cozy romance movies and a bag of popcorn during fall. Clancy's Fall Drizzled Kettle Corn from Aldi offers a maple-flavored bag for sweet snacking in front of the TV. It's similar to Trader Joe's Maple & Sea Salt Kettle Corn, with both featuring a pleasant sweet-and-savory flavor combo.

Fall Shaped Pasta

If you're not into autumn-inspired flavors, you can still add a seasonal touch to your dinner spread with Aldi's Reggano Fall Leaf Shaped Pasta. Much like Trader Joe's Organic Fall Leaf Shaped Italian Pasta, it feels like bringing a touch of autumn foliage straight to your plate.

Choceur Fall Chocolates

Choceur Fall Chocolates came out with two fall-inspired versions this 2026: pumpkin and apple. Each box includes several flavors presented in pumpkin or apple shapes, including salted caramel and coffee ganache for the former and almond cream for the latter. These boxes are a dupe for Trader Joe's Harvest Chocolate Collection, which has charming seasonal designs, too, like pumpkin and apple, as well as corncob, leaf, and walnut.
