Trader Joe’s Holiday Cheer Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread is a wintry iteration that builds on the original’s savory spreadability with the inclusion of dried, sweetened cranberry bits, a touch of cinnamon, and a splash of Riesling.

Even we’re not quite sure how our supplier has done it, but believe us when we say: this Spread genuinely tastes like Holiday Cheer. Creamy, fruity, and savory all at once, it makes an excellent addition to any holiday hors d’oeuvres table, especially when paired with crackers or crusty bread. We also love it as a topping for sliced strawberries, apples, or Fuyu Persimmons. And when the feasts and festivities are over, it adds a phenomenal level of flavor when used as a spread for sandwiches loaded with leftovers.
