The Trader Joe’s $6 Find I’m Bringing to Every White Elephant Party This Year

My favorite time to shop at Trader Joe’s is during the holiday season because it has so many gift options, from returning chocolate Advent calendars to fan-favorite sweet spreads for a gift basket to the new viral micro totes, which would make adorable gift card holders.

But the latest TJ’s find has already won the holidays. It’s the perfect white elephant gift—one that everyone will steal—and it’s just $6. 

Trader Joe’s Releases New Can of Corn Scented Candle 

Trader Joe’s Whole Kernel Corn, with its signature yellow label, has been a store staple since 1992. But this holiday season, make sure you check that label when grocery shopping—because it might be the new Can of Corn Scented Candle.

Yes, really. The $5.99 soy wax blend candle smells just like homemade cornbread straight out of the oven. It’s nestled inside a can that looks just like its namesake.

The candle is meant to “fill the air with a hospitable atmosphere that’s especially suited to when folks are home for the holidays,” according to Trader Joe’s. At nine ounces, the candle is a great size for host gifts, white elephant parties, or displaying in your own kitchen during the festive season.

Trader Joe’s fans on Reddit have already shared their enthusiasm about the new item. “Oh my goodness. Just bought this tonight and my house smells delicious,” one shopper wrote. 

Another Redditor added, “I absolutely love the smell of this candle. I’m going to pick up more tomorrow.” 

Someone else chimed in with just how similar the candle looks to the actual TJ’s can of corn. “I buy cans of this regularly, so now I’m completely disoriented,” they mused.

Whether you want to snag this novelty item for a fellow TJ’s fan or you simply need it for yourself, you’d better hurry to your local store. Like other Trader Joe’s seasonal hits, this wacky find is only available for a limited time.
