Trader Joe's Launches a Unique Advent Calendar Tailored for Feline Friends

As you enjoy opening your LEGO, sock, and wine

Advent calendars throughout December, your cat might start to feel a bit left out. Fortunately, Trader Joe's has come up with a purr-fect solution to ensure everyone in your home is in high spirits this holiday season. According to PopSugar, the store is introducing an exclusive Advent calendar designed just for cats.

This Advent calendar is packed with holiday-themed treats your feline companion will adore. On the Inside Trader Joe's podcast, Colin Fields, the vice president of merchandising, shared that the calendar features snacks made from salmon and seaweed—ingredients that are both irresistible to cats and beneficial for their health. If your cat can resist devouring them all at once, they'll be treated to a "massive," fish-shaped surprise on the final day, December 25th.

The idea for a cat-themed Advent calendar came after the overwhelming success of Trader Joe's dog Advent calendar in 2018. And for those without pets, the beloved grocery chain hasn't forgotten about you—they also offer classic Advent calendars for humans to enjoy during the festive season.

Last year, the dog Advent calendar was priced at $6, so the cat version is likely to be similarly affordable when it arrives in stores for the holiday season. Before your next trip to Trader Joe's, here are some facts and secrets to enhance your shopping experience.
