Every time I walk into Aldi, it's like a treasure hunt. And the holidays make that treasure hunt even more fun. If you've been to Aldi during the festive season, you know that the shelves and freezers are packed with new and interesting treats.
Whenever I'm in Aldi, I make a beeline for the Aldi Finds freezer. It’s my favorite part of the store, always full of unexpected treasures—especially during the holidays.
That's when I stumbled upon something that instantly made me stop in my tracks. This frozen find brings a trio of classic holiday flavors right to your freezer, and the best part? It’s under $5!
This treat isn’t just any old dessert. It's not ice cream, but something smoother, creamier, and a bit more decadent—gelato.
If you haven’t tried gelato before, let me give you the scoop (sorry! couldn't resist the pun!) Gelato is like ice cream's classy Italian cousin. Creamier, with a smoother texture that’s absolutely perfect for savoring slowly.
And Aldi has done it again with holiday flavors that I just couldn't resist!
Introducing the Gelato Trio
Gelato Flight. If you’re an Aldi fan, you might recognize these little cups of joy from earlier in the year. I first tried them at a friend's house a few months ago.
She’s a professional chef, so if she pulls something out of the fridge, you know it’s going to be good! This trio was no exception—flavors like Limoncello, Pistachio, and Tiramisu were all delicious. Personally, the Limoncello stole my heart, but every flavor was a winner.
So, when I saw a new seasonal version of the Gelato Flight at my local Aldi, you better believe I grabbed a package. This time, the flavors were different, just in time for the holidays.
The packaging itself gave me all the cozy winter vibes—it felt like a little promise of holiday cheer. It's also even kind enough to remind you to let the gelato sit out for about 5-10 minutes before serving, which really brings out that creamy texture.
Three Festive Flavors
Let's get into the flavors, shall we? This seasonal limited-time Gelato Flight from Aldi includes three classic holiday flavors: Pumpkin Pie, Candy Cane, and Eggnog. Each one is a little celebration of the holidays, and each brings something special to the table.
The package contains three 4.4-oz single-serving cups, each with a unique holiday-themed flavor. They're all delicious, but of course, different strokes and all that. In order to make an informed decision, I had to try all three! And being a good wife and mother, yes, I bought more than one package wink
Pumpkin Pie Gelato
Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin pie, right? Imagine the creamy, spiced flavors of pumpkin pie, but turned into a smooth gelato. It's all there—the warm spices, the pumpkin—but in a frozen, luscious form.
The ingredients include real pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and nutmeg, giving it that rich, authentic taste. And don't even get me started on the texture. It’s creamy and perfect, and with every bite, you feel like you're getting a bite of Thanksgiving dessert. It’s got 180 calories per cup, with 8g of fat (7g of that saturated), and 15g of added sugars.
Candy Cane Gelato
Moving on to Candy Cane—this one is exactly what you want for a winter treat. It’s minty and refreshing, just like the festive candy canes hanging on the tree. Plus, there's something so nostalgic about candy canes, isn’t there? They’re all about that feeling of waiting for Christmas morning.
The gelato perfectly captures that candy cane magic, with just the right balance of sweetness and mint. It’s a light, refreshing palate cleanser after a holiday meal—or honestly, a perfect snack while wrapping presents. Each cup also comes with pieces of quality dark chocolate as a topping.
The peppermint flavor comes through thanks to mint natural flavor and beetroot extract for that cute candy cane color. This flavor has 180 calories per cup, with 8g of fat (7g of that saturated), and 14g of added sugars.
Eggnog Gelato
And last, but certainly not least, is Eggnog. If you’re an eggnog fan, you’ll be obsessed. It’s got that rich, nutmeg-infused eggnog flavor, with just a hint of vanilla.
What I love most is that the texture of gelato really works here—it’s smooth, almost velvety, and it brings out all the creamy, indulgent notes you’d expect from eggnog. It's like taking the best parts of a classic holiday drink and making them spoonable.
Egg yolk and natural vanilla give this one that eggnog authenticity. It’s a bit richer, with 4g of protein and the same 180 calories per cup as the others. The 6g of saturated fat and 16g of added sugars make it indulgent, but hey, it’s the holidays!
I will say, though, that out of the three cups, this was not my favorite. It was a tad too sweet for my personal preference. Don't get me wrong; I won't say no to another spoonful, but the other two flavors were more balanced and less sugary.
Final Thoughts
At just $4.29 for three flavors, this Aldi Gelato Flight is honestly a holiday steal. It's perfect for a festive get-together, or even just to indulge in a bit of holiday spirit while binge-watching your favorite seasonal movies.
Whether you're a die-hard Aldi Finds fan or just someone looking for a fun, affordable holiday treat, this one’s definitely worth adding to your cart.
Just don’t wait too long—like most Aldi Finds, once they’re gone, they’re gone!
