15 of the best specialty items to get at Aldi this month for $5 or less

This month, Aldi is launching these adorable Choceur hot-chocolate stir sticks, which make a great gift for loved ones — or yourself.

Each pack, available for $4, includes chocolate stir sticks in the shape of Santa, Rudolph, and a present. Just add hot milk and enjoy.

There's nothing like a peppermint mocha on a cold day, but this season, Aldi shoppers can skip the pricey coffee-shop version and get that same festive flavor at home.

The Barissimo white-chocolate peppermint-bark creamer will be available the first week of November for just $2.70.

Whether you're looking for festive snacks to keep at your desk or something easy to throw in a bowl before having guests over, the Choceur holiday clusters are good to keep on hand.

The cinnamon-sugar blend includes pretzels, caramel, cinnamon-sugar, and a white candy drizzle. Aldi will also have a tiramisu version with vanilla cookies, tiramisu-flavored caramel, and a dark-chocolate drizzle.

Try one or both flavors for $3.50 each.

In addition to the new hot-chocolate stir sticks, Aldi shoppers can also find melting cocoa characters shaped like snowmen or penguins.

Each character is made of chocolate and filled with marshmallows. The snowman even has dark-chocolate drops inside.

The Choceur melting characters sell for $2.50 each.

If you don't have time to bake a batch of gingerbread cookies this season, Aldi has you covered.

Benton's gingerbread cookies are covered in either milk or dark chocolate and come in fun shapes. Each box costs $5.

Aldi is well-known for its selection of gluten-free products, and this month, shoppers will find two fun new offerings: honey buns and cinnamon buns.

Each box costs $4.30 and includes four individually-wrapped sweet buns, perfect for breakfasts, snacks, or desserts.

Indulge in your favorite Thanksgiving flavors with these fan-favorite Priano ravioli flavors. Starting November 13, shoppers will be able to choose from turkey-cranberry or bourbon-sweet-potato ravioli for $3.70 each.

Gelato doesn't have to be limited to the summer months, especially with holiday flavors like pumpkin, eggnog, and candy cane coming to Aldi. Each container of gelato costs $4.30.

The new Specially Selected maple-nut brioche is a versatile fall product. Enjoy it as a sweet bread for a peanut-butter sandwich or use it to prepare bread pudding or decadent French toast.

A loaf of this bread costs $4.90.

For those who spend all of November dreaming of Thanksgiving dinner, Clancy's new potato chips are the perfect way to curb those cravings until the big day.

These wavy chips come in turkey-stuffing and garlic-mashed-potato flavors and cost $2.20 per bag.

November doesn't have to be all turkey and peppermint. Your regular meals can still get a seasonal touch with the new Never Any chicken sausage in chipotle-and-Monterey-Jack or cranberry flavors.

Grab a package at Aldi for $3.50.

Whether you're prepping for Thanksgiving or a winter cocktail party, the Appetitos mini caramelized-onion-and-gouda and cranberry-feta puff pastries will be a hit with dinner party guests.

Each box costs $5 at Aldi.

Although the weather may start feeling a little too cold for ice cream, you can still enjoy these mini waffle cones filled with peppermint- or hazelnut-flavored chocolate.

They're delicious on their own or paired with fruit. Grab a bag of mini waffle cones for $4.

If you can't get enough Christmas cheer, consider adding these new puff pastries to your Aldi cart. Some of these Christmas-tree-shaped treats even come coated in chocolate and sprinkles.

You can grab a package toward the end of the month for just $3.

Later this month, Aldi is launching two fun, festive flavors of Barissimo ground coffee for the holiday season: eggnog and gingerbread. Each 11-ounce bag is only $4.95.
