If you’re familiar with our year-round Scandinavian Swimmers, you’ll instantly recognize Trader Joe’s Scandinavian Tidings, their festive relatives. Truly Tidings of comfort and joy, these come in three festive shapes and colors—red ornaments, green trees, and translucent stars. The ornaments are berry flavored, the trees are sour apple flavored, and the stars are star-flavored. Just kidding—just wanted to be sure you were actually reading. (The stars taste like sparkling grape.) We’ve used dyes made from spirulina, as well as fruit & vegetable extracts, to give the shapes their festive colors. Juicy, flavorful, sweet, super for surreptitious (or super open) seasonal snacking: what more could you want? 

While we don’t encourage eating the entire bag in one sitting, we won’t say we haven’t seen it happen. We do, though, encourage picking up a bag or two before too long, because like the tidings of the season, these Tidings will soon be gone.
