The Cutest Costco Holiday Storage Find Is Hiding in the Snack Aisle (It Has So Many Uses!)
Your holiday cookie setup is about to get the cutest storage upgrade. Costco is encouraging shoppers to tap into their festive sweet tooth a little early with the launch of a Hammond’s Christmas tree cookie jar — and unsurprisingly, the cute under $20 holiday find is already going viral, because it’s the perfect storage solution hiding in the cookie aisle.
A fresh take on the classic gingerbread cookie house, DesignPac’s Douglas fir-inspired design comes in either a gorgeous mid-century modern-esque olive green or a trendy pale cream color with four ceramic tiers. It looks like prices slightly vary depending on the Costco Warehouse location (some bloggers said they found theirs for $16.79 or $16.89), but this aesthetically-pleasing Christmas tree cookie jar looks like it could be a festive centerpiece on your kitchen counter — and it’s an added bonus that it comes stuffed to the brim with almost a pound of sugar cookies.
DesignPac’s 15-ounce cookie jar holds 0.93 pounds of powdered sugar-covered snowball cookies from iconic cookie brand Hammond’s, making it a total two-in-one steal. It’s the perfect gift for the cookie-lovers in your life, thanks to its packaging, or you can even buy one for yourself to snack on leading up to the end of the holiday season. Of course, once all the cookies are gone and you’re packing up your festive things, you can reuse it next year by buying or baking new cookies — or anything else, really — to put inside it. It’s like a piece of festive decor with an ultra-secret storage compartment.
Unfortunately, you can’t currently buy these Christmas tree cookie jars on the website, meaning you might be out of luck if you don’t see them at your local warehouse. However, you might be able to find them and have them delivered via Instacart for a slight upcharge of $21.01 depending on if they’re in stock at your closest Costco.
Non-Costco members can also get a similarly minimalist container at Target with the 9.25-inch Transpac Ceramic Green Christmas Tree Cookie Jar, which has six mini tiers of leaves and an opening in the middle for your cookies of choice. Unfortunately, this slightly darker green version — which is currently on sale for $19.99 — doesn’t come with cookies inside, but you can easily fill them with your treat of choice or skip right past the treats and into storage paradise.
Whether you’re able to get your hands on Costco’s Christmas tree cookie jar this year or you decide to grab a dupe elsewhere, the best part is that once the cookies are gone, you’ll still be able to reuse these chic ceramic containers year after year.
